Suffering from a cold, sore throat, runny nose? What about trying steam inhalation for some relief?
The steam will help to open the nasal passages. You will need a large heatproof bowl such as Pyrex, boiling water, a towel, essential oils or a handful of fresh herbs.
If using fresh herbs, crush them and add a pint of boiling water. Cover your head and the bowl with a large towel and inhale the steam. Do this for 5 minutes twice a day. Why not try thyme?
If using oils, add three or four drops of the oil with a pint of boiling water. Inhale in the same way as the herbs, but probably a minute will be long enough.
You could try:-
Eucalyptus
Lavender
Frankincense
Tea Tree
Obviously, seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
