Are you or your child congested?

Try an essential oil steam.

Boil some water in a pot.

Place the pot on a flat plate large enough to hold it, then put it on a flat surface like a table or the ground.

Place some towels around the hot pot so that you don't burn yourself.

Add a drop of 100% peppermint essential oil into the boiled water.

Quickly cover the steam with a bath towel.

Place the bath towel over your head and breath in the steam.

The steam will help open up your nasal pathways.

Have tissues handy for your nose.

Stay under the steam for about 5 minutes then make sure that you come out for some air.

Drink some water to rehydrate yourself.

You can then repeat the process.

This is excellent to do before bed time.

CAUTION !!!!!

BE VERY CAREFUL BECAUSE YOU ARE DEALING WITH BOILING WATER !!

NEVER LEAVE A CHILD UNATTENDED WITH THIS THERAPY !!

YOU MUST REPEAT TO THEM SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT BEING CAREFUL NOT TO BURN. TALK TO THEM BEFORE, DURING,AND AFTER THE STEAM THERAPY ABOUT THE DANGERS OF THE BOILED WATER !! ONLY USE THIS FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE OLD ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THE DANGERS OF HOT WATER & THAT ARE ABLE TO SIT STILL.

Dont make this Common Mistake When your child is sick

When your child is sick don't make the common mistake of giving your child Orange Juice (or any fruit juice for that matter)

Orange juice is one of the worst things that you can give a child that has a cold.
Bacteria feed off of Sugar and Fruit juice is loaded with sugar !!

The best thing to give someone who is sick is High Protein.

Your immune system is made up of proteins, so it would make sense to up the protein intake during this time.
Organic Whole eggs, chicken soup made with bones and Whey Protein are all excellent sources of Protein.

I would also take 1000 mg of Vitamin C and 2000 IU of Vitamin D (for adults)
300 mg Vitamin C & 500 IU Vitamin D (for children)

I would also add spices to my foods like cayenne pepper, oregano, turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon.

Eat Raw garlic & onions.

Drink freshly squeezed lemon & lime juice

Take probiotics before bed time when stomach acid is at it's lowest. (make sure to have stopped eating 2 hours before taking the probiotics)

Get Plenty of Rest !!
