Hello everyone!!! After a well deserved rest from the busy holidays, I took January off and am now back with more great posts on Michigan made items! Because we got pelted with 10 inches of snow and the fact that thousands of people are down with the flu, I have a terrific solution for you!
It's called the Cold & Flu Rescue Kit by Choices Organic Body & Bath in Shelby Township and Grosse Pointe Michigan.
The three-piece kit, developed by Helga Soave of Choices Organic Bath and Body, contains a Shower Therapy Cold and Flu cake that dissolves in hot steam in the shower. Inhaling the essential oil steam opens sinuses and helps to clear any congestion. And like 100 years ago, the shower cake may be broken into pieces and put in a bowl of steaming hot water. People just drape a towel over their heads and bowl, close their eyes and breath in deeply. This helps loosen up mucus and clear the chest.
The second component is an Epsom Salt cake infused with essential oils that is used in a hot bath. It helps people relax and sleep well. Simply fill the tub with hot (not scalding) water, put in the cake, and soak to get relief from the aches and pains associated with cold and/or flu.
The last part is a Cold and Flu Balm used on the chest and back that contains a proprietary essential oil blend that will facilitate easier breathing throughout the night. The three part kit is only $32 and I can tell you from personal experience that it works!
“Epsom Salt has many good uses and can help body rest, recover, detoxify, and increase its white-blood cell count,” says Helga, developer of the Cold and Flu Rescue Kit and many other skin care products products. “With cold and flu season underway, doctors say you should try soaking in Epsom salt before you reach for an expensive over-the-counter drug. This naturally occurring mineral will ease muscle aches and help you get a good night’s rest, so you can recover faster.”
“Our Epson salt cakes are blended with essential oils to give your body a second defense. Essential oils can relieve many cold and flu symptoms, such as headaches, body aches and pains, fatigue, congestion, stuffed up airways, and more. All of our products are completely natural and developed with families in mind, because they contains a decongestant and antibacterial medley of essential oils that is uplifting and nourishing to the body.”
"Our grandparents knew a thing or two. They knew that steam inhalation is a method of introducing warm, moist air into the lungs via the nose and throat for therapeutic benefit. The hot steam moistens the nasal passages, and clears blocked noses and opens up congested sinuses allowing you to breathe more easily. Essential oils reinforce these benefits.”
As a child, Helga wandered the fields around her village in Germany searching out plants and feeling their texture, rubbing their leaves, and smelling their unique scents. She went on to study chemistry, always aware of the diversity nature offers. She was a voracious reader, and herbal medicine was her biggest interest.
