If you do manage to get a cold this season, even with all the anti-cold tips, the following herbal soak may help you feel better.
4 parts dried lavender
4 parts dried rosemary
4 parts chopped fresh ginger root or 2 parts ginger powder
2 parts dried eucalyptus
Use 1/2 cup of dried herbs or one to two cups of fresh herbs. Crush the herbs first to release their essential oils. Mix the herbs and tie them into a square of muslin or a handkerchief. Hang the bag under the faucet as you fill the tub. The bag can be used to scrub your skin as well.
