We know you know about thyme and sage in your gourmet cooking but did you know that as essential oils they are herbal ninjas against the flu.
If you have managed to come down with the flu and are suffering from its wrath, one or two drops of Thyme essential oil might do the trick.
Essential oils in a facial steam bath can offer time tested relief of flu and cold like symptoms.
To create your facial steam bath you will need a bowl of hot water, a towel and a selection of any one of the following essential oils:
1 to 2 drops of Thyme
3 to 4 drops of Sage or
1 drop Angelica
To begin, drop in your selection of the essential oil into the bowl of hot water. Cover your head with the towel, close your eyes and slowly lean over the bowl while breathing in the scented vapor. You want to do this for 3 to 5 minutes.
You can do this several times a day and especially at night to promote sleep.
As always check with your medical health care provider before using essential oils
