Millions  of “Australians  suffer  the cold and flu” when the colder months of June july and august  come very year. it is around this time that the chemists  and pharmaceuticals companies for cold and flu medicine make a killing.

Luckily for some  who are willing to try some natural medicines  and deny these capitalist  medicine mongers some of their revenue, i am providing a alternative natural  solution.

Simple home remedies  for cold and flu

All you need is Patience , eucalyptus oil and hot water and a towel and a inclination to believe or try natural remedies. As you know eucalyptus is  known for its medicinal values  and it definitely helps remedy cold and flu and  unclog all that gunk and stuff you have in your  nasal system

What you need to do ?

Eucalyptus oil  and Hot water

Heat a couple ( 3 to 4 ) of glasses of water  and place it  in a wide bowl on  the kitchen table  which should be off appropriate height ( normally). Drop  2 drops of the eucalyptus oil in  the water , place a towel over your head  and bring you head down( as close as you can to the bowl without getting burnt with the steam) , so that the  large towel encloses the bowl  and the area aorund it , while it is over your head  and not letting any  air in or out ( maybe a small gap will do )

Now start taking deep breaths ( you will get the hot steam air with eucalyptus flavor going up your nose),  you can alternate the intensity of the deep breaths  as per the heat affecting you  you can also  add one or 2 more drops ( after  a 5 minute session ) if you feel the eucalyptus oil  steam  has become a bit weaker in the water.

Inhalation with Eucalyptus oil  and Hot water

Do this at least 2 times   a day  for 2  to 3 days and you will be soon on your road to recovery  in 2 days or the next couple of days.

Do  consult your GP  if you have cold and flu as this is only a alternative natural home remedy and may not work  for all or in all situations.
