So looking for alternative safe ways to help keep her comfortable and get well quickly (yes I am using honey and cinnamon!!!). When this morning Homemade Mumma posted this link (link) to a vicks disc.
So after work i grabbed some eucalyptus, tea tree and peppermint oils.
Most people are aware of the benefits of eucalyptus and the antibacterial properties of Tea tree, Not many people know the many uses of peppermint (peppermint )
Respiratory Problems: The menthol in peppermint oil helps clear the respiratory tract. It is an effective expectorant and therefore provides instantaneous, though temporary, relief in numerous respiratory problems including nasal congestion, sinusitis, asthma, bronchitis, cold and cough. Mixed with a carrier oil and rubbed on the chest, it helps break through nasal and respiratory congestion.
I put mine in the oven to get them ready for tonights shower, 150 degrees for 25 minutes... (also I didn;t use paper cups as I didn't want to waste money or paper, I do suggest using silicon ones) i used a lot of drops!!!
