In through the nose, out through the mouth. There’s not much to it, breathing.
Except, of course, when your nose is dripping, your throat’s closed up, and the very idea of inhaling takes your (ahem) breath away.
Stop sniffing around the drugstore and make your way to Splash Spa for some all-natural healing: organic aromatherapy-based breathe treatments that will knock that cold into submission and boost your immune system.
Relaxing massages and body wraps incorporate antiviral elixirs like eucalyptus, spruce, thyme, and tea tree. No mere run-you-through-the-wringer services, these treatments will soothe, comfort, and ease aches and pains. For an added pick-me-up, try reflexology, which bolsters the immune system through the thousands of nerve endings in your feet.
It may not leave you sniffle free. But that extra pampering will be a sigh of relief.
