Herbal Decongestant Steam Blend

Picture of Decongestant Treatment - Tipnut.comWinter is definitely here where I live, very cold with a couple more months of winter stretching out before us.

Sometimes in this cold weather a deep cold with a congested head, nose and chest sneaks up on us and it’s no fun. Here’s a nice, soothing decongestant steam that uses a dried herb blend to help break through that uncomfortable stuffiness.
Herbal Decongestant Steam Blend

Ingredients:

4 tsp peppermint leaves
3 tsp rosemary
3 tsp thyme

(Makes two treatments)

Directions:

* Mix all the herbs together, split in half and save one part in an airtight container or ziploc bag.
* Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the 1/2 herbal mixture.
* Cover and steep for 10 minutes.

Follow the directions for use on this page: Herbal Steam Facial Recipes [1]

Edited Slightly

* Place pot on counter or table (on top of a towel to protect the table surface) and remove lid. Cover your head with a large clean towel and position your face over the steaming water (with the towel acting as a tent over the bowl to capture the steam).
* Keep your eyes closed and your face at least 10 to 12 inches from the boiling water. Enjoy the fragrant steam and relax, but don’t overdo it–keep the time between 5 to 7 minutes.
* When the time is up, splash face with slightly cool water and pat dry.

Do this two nights in a row to help break the congestion.
Important

* If you have congested nasal passages or a stuffed up head with a severe headache or a toothache or jaw ache that puts you through the roof, you may have a sinus infection–don’t be shy about having your doctor check it out.

For sinus infection, use Oregano.

Is anyone else having trouble with posting here?

I must have tried 30 or 40 times to post this, first they made me sign in again and then I got the “Sorry there has been an error” notice.

They have me to the point that being a Freeper is more stressful, than not being one.

Is this the only thread that bothers them?

>>>For sinus infection, use Oregano.<<<

Granny’s recommendation above works!!

Tried it - Approved treatment !!!
