External Applications for Cold and Flu

Picture
• Chest and Neck Rubs: to open bronchial passages and move congestion: oregano, pine, myrrh, cedar, eucalyptus, peppermint

Take a dollop of pure olive oil, about the size of a nickel. Add 3-4 drops of pure essential oil. Mix well and apply to sides of neck and/or chest.

• Mustard Poultice: for tight, cold, chest congestion

1-2 Tbsp. mustard seed powder; 1-2 Tbsp. flour

Enough water to make a paste

Cover a piece of flannel cloth that can be folded over. Place on chest. Caution: This can burn the skin so keep an eye on it. Move when it starts to get too warm.

• Tofu Poultice: for fever

Mix ½ pound tofu with 1 tsp. freshly grated ginger and 1 tsp. flour. Roll up into cheesecloth and place on forehead. Turn as it becomes warm and draws the heat out. Change every two hours.



• Vapor Treatment: to open nasal and bronchial pathways

You can make a vapor to inhale by adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil to boiled water and place your head, covered with a towel, over the mixture for 20 minutes.
