It's that time of year. If you find yourself coughing – and coughing some more – here is a soothing natural remedy that is safe for adults and babies. Not only does it help relieve symptoms, it also boosts your immune system and helps to lessen the severity of the illness. Give it a try and let us know if it helps!
DIRECTIONS:
Bring a large saucepan of water to boil. Once boiling, add one generous tablespoon of oregano, thyme, and sage. Stir in and let steep for 2-3 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
FOR ADULTS:
Pour the hot liquid into a large bowl. Put a towel over your head and the bowl and inhale deeply. Try to keep it up for about ten minutes.
FOR CHILDREN:
This requires two adults. Pour the hot liquid into a large bowl. Put the bowl on the floor. Have one adult hold the child in their lap, being very (VERY!) careful not to let the child touch the boiling hot water. Have the other adult hold a large blanket over their heads and the bowl, making a "tent". All the steam will stay under the blanket. Try to keep them under for about ten minutes. The longer the better.
These herbs are antibacterial and antiviral and will immediately start working to clear up the cold in your throat and lungs. Cold viruses are sensitive to heat and the warm air will help to loosen congestion.
