Do you remember years ago when you had a cold and your mum would put Vick’s
in a bowl with boiling water and you would put your head over the bowl with a towel thrown over the top to keep the steam and heat locked in while you took deep breaths to help clear all the mucus lodged in your head, nose and chest ? Well this is a really healthy alternative as I wouldn’t ever use Vick’s because it is petroleum-based ( sorry mum ) . Why not use Eucalyptus gum leaves instead, they’re full of eucalyptus oil and are free. Here’s what you do……put a big handful of gum leaves in a pot on the stove cover with water and bring to the boil. Stand over it and breath in the steam and vapors it really does unblock and clear all the sinuses. . Sheree from “Simpleliving“ did it the other day and it really cleared her nasal passages whilst giving her a facial cleanse at the same time really worth trying. Thanks for sharing with us Sheree.
