1. Try eucalyptus and menthol steam inhalations
Eucalyptus and menthol inhalations work to decongest the nose, and can even help kill the infection.
Heat up some water almost to a boil on the stove. Remove the pot and add a few drops of each essential oil. Put a towel over your head to create a tent effect, then lean over the pot to inhale the steam.
2. Try to Include Garlic In Your Meals
You would be surprised at the number of medicinal remedies that are in your kitchen. An example is garlic. Garlic has anti-microbial properties, which will help in fighting the cold virus.
3. Eat Honey
Adding a little honey to your hot tea, smoothie, or even oatmeal, might help you fend of infections.
