Bit-O-Herbs - Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus

One of my friends asked me last week...how do you help sinus congestion and a cough? Neti-Pots are good to flush the sinus sytem, but I have found that their affects are temporary and needed every day. Also, they cannot be used for other respiratory symptoms.

Instead, try eucalyptus oil...

It is used as a natural antiseptic, and if used properly, can have similar effects to vicks vapor rub (without the gook!).

You can place a few drops of the oil on a wet, cold washcloth. Cover your face, mouth, or nose with the washcloth. Breathe in through the cloth and the eucalyptus oil. The healing properties of the plant will carry through your respiratory system and you will get clearer breathing very soon.
