Blah...I'm sick.
Last flu season, I made some
shower soothers.
They were okay, but I needed about six in the shower as they were so small.
I decided the best way to get the most out of my homemade shower discs was to throw just one in a pot of hot steamy water and capture the steam with a towel over my head! Much more effective than the shower method. It opened up my breathing passages and my head felt better immediately.
When you are sick, any relief is good.
1/2 cup sodium bicarbonate
1 TBSP of water at a time until you have a paste
10 drops Thieves Oil *below
OR
1/2 cup of Sodium Bicarbonate
1/4 cup citric acid
I added 1 Tablespoon of witch hazel at a time until I had a paste.
Mix in 10 drops of Thieves oil *recipe below
Thieves Oil
8 drops of clove oil
7 drops lemon oil
4 drops of cinnamon oil
3 drops of eucalyptus oil
2 drops of rosemary oil
(Legend says that thieves used to rub this oil mixture over their bodies to stay sickness-free,
while robbing bodies of black plague victims.???? hmmm maybe they just got lucky!)
Pack into molds...I used the Ikea ice cube molds and spooned the mixture in until the molds were full.
Let dry overnight. Take out of molds and store in an airtight container.
I will give this a 5 out of 5!
It opened up my airway and helped relieve my headache.....temporarily!
Well long enough for a quick post.
Stay well and wash, wash, wash your hands my friends!
Cheers.
Thanks for your visit. I appreciate you all!
