Oh! how fun it is to have cooler weather and enjoy some backyard bonfires and s’mores with family and friends.

However, it is not very enjoyable when the stuffy noses hit home. 

Especially now that Covid is a thing. 

Around where we live, you don’t hear much about the common cold anymore. 

If you hear someone sneeze, cough, or sniff, it may stop you dead in your tracks. If you are like me, you may have this thought run through your mind, “Is that a normal cough or is it covid?”

If you are the one who sneezes, coughs, or sniffs you probably end up with many sets of eyes staring at you when it happens in public. 

Enough of Covid. I really don’t want to talk about it.

However, I would like to talk about those pesky little symptoms we get from the common cold and allergies. 

When the common cold and allergies like to pay my family a visit, I encourage them to increase their fluid intake and to rest.

Then, I try to do my best to use natural remedies that have no side effects. I turn to some natural supplements and also to essential oils.

So, when the common cold or sinus problems hit the first essential oil blend I grab to use is my favorite  for respiratory issues. I diffuse it in the air any time we start having stuffy noses or cough.

My family seems to respond well to it and can breathe much easier.

When they can breathe easier, it helps them to rest better.

I am curious as to what your go to is when your family starts having stuffy noses and cough? Please share.
