This herbal mix can be made at home to freshen the air and fight colds and flu.
Ingredients
- Sage: 1 teaspoon
- Wild thyme: 1 teaspoon
- Chamomile flowers: 1 teaspoon
How to use it
Pour half a litre of boiling water into a bowl and add the herbs. Hold your head over the bowl, cover it with a towel (as in the picture) and breathe in the steam for up to half an hour.
The mix helps relieve the headache, blocked nose and tiredness that come with a cold.
In winter you can also put the mix on top of the heater to freshen the air in the room and help stop the illness spreading at home.
Warning: don't use it if the herbs are not clean, or if you are allergic to any of them. Keep young children away from bowls of hot water, which can scald.
