The Crud of Winter

It seems like each year around this time our family is afflicted with the 'crud of winter'.  This crud involves sinus infections, coughs, headaches and sometimes fever.  We have tried every medicine under the sun, including prescriptions, and none of them work as quickly or effectively as a sinus sauna.

I came across this post which explains in detail how this works and wanted to share with you.  Believe me, this really works.  Using a coat was very helpful in capturing all the steam.

I had some dried peppermint from our garden but I found peppermint oil to be more effective.  Adding just a little eucalyptus oil also helped. 

If you are suffering from this winter affliction, give this a try it sure does work.
