Winter is here!! Especially in the northern hemisphere. So, the weather keeps changing and with it the temperatures.
The fluctuation on the climatic conditions makes us more susceptible to catch colds, flu, viruses, and allergies. For that reason, it is important to have a strong immune system.
How do I achieve that?
Well, eating a healthy and balanced diet, with lots of vegetables and fruits, drinking water and warm teas to keep us hydrated and cozy, taking probiotics, vitamin D, and Omega 3 supplements. Having a restful sleep of at least 8 hours and exercising regularly.
These are some of the tips I do and I will suggest you try.
Nevertheless, I prepared some special DIY medicines in case we get one of the seasonal viruses.
My VAPOR RUB is made with all natural, organic and pure ingredients from nature and ESSENTIAL OILS, to support different conditions. This one in special could be used to support healthy respiratory functions.
In case of SINUSITIS, rubbing some Vapor Rub in your chest could support your respiratory system.
The use of Eucalyptus Essential Oil, helps open sinus pathways, clearing out mucus and eliminating infections.
The use of Peppermint Essential oil helps reduce inflammation and swelling as well as alleviate pain and leaves the sensation of freshness while decreasing the presence of harmful toxins and germs in the organism which causes the sinus infection.
This VAPOR RUB may help decongest your lungs when experiencing other respiratory conditions due to its clearing properties.
