How to Make Natural Cold And Flu Inhaler At Home?
You all know the feeling ─
fatigue, the chills, muscle tension and pain, headache, congestion, sneezing,
and coughing ─ it’s a cold, or maybe worse yet, the onset of the flu. Before
you reach for over the counter, synthetic cold medicines with many side
effects, why not try a natural remedy instead? We recommend trying a natural
cold and flu inhaler to relieve the symptoms of cold and flu.
Inhalation is the best aid
against cold and flu that you can give yourself at home. Inhalation is an old
recipe for fighting against colds, because it causes sweating, relieves
coughing, releases secretions from the nose and moistens the irritated mucous
membrane of the nose and throat.
