These easy to make DIY Congestion Relief Bath Salts will help clear nasal and head congestion associated with head colds, chest congestion and sinuses naturally. These bath salts will not in any way cure the common cold or flu, but will help with relief from congestion.
Winter is here, and it has hit me kind of hard. It's not even that cold, but I have already had my first cold virus, and this one was a doozy to say the least. For three days I felt weak and really congested, and now 3 weeks later I still have a bit of a cough and some chest tightness. While I feel pretty good, the congestion can be a real pain. When I felt the sickness coming on, I immediately made a batch of my favorite DIY Congestion Relief Bath Salts. When I am not feeling well, a hot bath is sometimes the only thing that can make me feel better, and the addition of these bath salts really give me relief. I take a hot bath using these vapor relief bath salts right before bed to help my body relax and open up my nose and chest. They are a real life saver! If you prefer to take a shower, you can just add them to the bottom of your shower, and when the water hit them, the vapors will release.
