The common cold has a way of making us feel utterly crummy. Sufferers of a stuffed-up nose, hacking cough and sneezing attacks — we have a simple solution to ease your symptoms. 

Hello, easy DIY bath soak. This homemade remedy uses natural household products that you may have on hand already.

Start by mixing together the Epsom salt, sea salt and baking soda with a spoon until well combined.

Next, add your essential oils. I chose lavender, lemon and eucalyptus. Lavender has been said to offer antiseptic and antimicrobial qualities, lemon is said to help boost the immune system and eucalyptus is often described as a great decongestant.

Optional: Stir in dried, organic lavender as the finishing touch.

Store in an air-tight jar in a cool, dry place. When you're feeling under the weather, add a few spoonfuls to your warm bath and soak for a half hour.
