5 tips to help you stay healthy and beat the winter cold

Eucalyptus essential oil

Eucalyptus oil is one of the best remedies for colds, coughs and congestion. It prevents serious nasal and respiratory problems like rhinitis that cause stuffy nose and cough. Nasal congestion and airway obstruction can also lead to headaches, sinus and muscle and joint pain. The soothing properties of eucalyptus oil can help relieve headaches and muscle pain. Add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to your bath water to relax and relieve nasal congestion.

Practice gargling with salt water

Gargling with warm salt water has been shown to soothe a sore and scratchy throat and calm a cough. Add warm water to a glass and dissolve a teaspoon of salt before gargling. Repeat at least twice a day for best results.

Sauna

This is also an effective way to relieve nasal congestion and runny nose. For better results, add some cold date seeds or mint to the steaming water.

Get plenty of rest

Invest in a warm blanket and maintain good posture when you sleep at night. Maintaining a healthy sleep routine is key to good health during the winter.

Sanitize and wear a mask

It is imperative to wash your hands regularly and always wear a mask, especially when you are outdoors to avoid contracting the virus and protect those around you. Wear your mask properly and use a good quality hand sanitizer to keep your hands clean from any germs or viruses.
