Summer colds or any cold for that matter isn't fun. This week our entire family with the exception of  Dad, have come down with summer colds. Because I'm always looking for new or better ways to find relief I found something a bit surprising. Chamomile relieves sinus or head congestion!

Pour yourself a relaxing cup of hot chamomile tea, while it's cooling place a towel over your head and breath in the steam, the anti-inflammatory properties of the chamomile help open your sinuses bringing pressure and congestion to a halt. After your done with your herbal steam sweeten with a bit of honey and enjoy.

Chamomile is known as a soothing tonic which is good for the nerves, soothing to the stomach and beneficial for inflammation. The only potential negative is that chamomile may cause allergic reactions to those already sensitive to ragweed, or other chrysanthemums.
