Watch out for the koalas.
I'm crediting using eucalyptus essential oil for steam inhalations as the turning point in finally kicking that persistent cold and cough into touch. Following my acupuncturist's advice on Monday, I've done 2 x 5 minute inhalations each day - and as of yesterday it's fair to say I've been feeling fabulous again. Praise be! It's such a joy. Almost makes having the cold worthwhile, purely to now enjoy not having it.
As a word of caution, if you are fancying a bit of steam do take a look at the link given because it gives guidance about the amount of the essential oil to use. I went on gut instinct and experimentation and almost puked up my guts, as well as my lungs, when I got a bit over zealous and clearly got the dosage waaaaaaaay too high. Less is more? For sure.
And yes, at the risk of sounding like a complementary health junkie, I'm coming clean and admitting my devotion to regular acupuncture, as well as massage and chiropractic care. No woman is an island and yup, I'll take all the help I can get along the road to FeelingGoodsville.
