shower steamers for congestion

shower steamers can be a great natural remedy to help with congestion. Here's a simple recipe to make your own:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup baking soda
• 1/2 cup citric acid
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 cup Epsom salt
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2-3 drops eucalyptus essential oil
• 2-3 drops peppermint essential oil
• Water in a spray bottle

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix together the baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salt.
2. Add in the coconut oil and essential oils, and mix well until the mixture is crumbly and resembles wet sand.
3. Slowly spray water onto the mixture while stirring constantly until it starts to stick together and hold its shape when squeezed.
4. Press the mixture into a silicone mold or muffin tin and let it dry for at least 24 hours.
5. Once dry, remove the shower steamers from the mold and store them in an airtight container until ready to use.

To use the shower steamers for congestion, simply place one or two in the bottom of your shower, away from direct water flow. As the steam and hot water from the shower hits the shower steamer, it will release the essential oils and create a soothing and decongesting aroma in the shower. Take deep breaths and inhale the steam for best results.
