Remedies for Colds
Remedy for stuffy runny noses:
Equal drops of eucalyptus, lavender, and peppermint oils. Keep these in a small container and sniff as necessary to clear up the nose.
Also a steam tea of Wintergreen helps. All you do is heat the water and cover your head with a towel and breathe in the steam. Peppermint and thyme also work well. Use 1 tbls each.
Here's a good cough syrup without all of the side effects:
1 lemon
2 tbls glycerin
2 tbls honey
Heat the lemon by boiling it in water for 10 minutes. Cut it in half and squeeze out the juice. Add the glycerin and honey. Take 1 tsp as needed.
