I keep reading about Eucalyptus Oil loosening up phlegm, especially in bronchitis. I have been sick with a cold for a week now, and I'm really coughing hard. I can't see my doctor until Monday, but I need some relief. Where can I buy this oil, and does it really work?

Yes eucalyptus oil works. you ought to be able to find it at your local pharmacy. other things to try are Ricola Original cough drops. They work for me. Eat loads of garlic, onions, and spicey foods. Drink herb tea with honey mixed in to sweeten it. DON'T use the regular cough remedies because they trick your body into thinking that you're not as ill as you really are. That blocks your immune system and prolongs the illness. Don't take antibiotics except as a last resort because your immune system doesn't learn that way. Ginger is another immune system booster as is echinacea (not sure if I spelled that right). I promise these things all work. they also help you to not get sick in the future. Mint helps, but sugar makes it worse.

Essential oils are to be manipulated with caution and one has to know a lot about them before using them without advice. If it says "for external or aromatherapeutic use", it is because it is not pure enough to be taken internally, or because it is mixed with something else, or of a type which cannot be ingested. Another thing is that it is not enough to mention "Eucalyptus oil". This is not sufficient information. There are 7 different types of Eucalyptus oil on the market. All have different properties. Two of those are neurotoxic (damage your nervous system) and abortive. You therefore need to know the complete latin name in order to know what you have and what is can be used for. This goes for just about any essential oil. The general rule is that you never use essential oils (not even burning them in the room) if you are pregnant and never around babies and children up to 6-7 years old. Not as massage oils either. Essential oils are very powerful and not to be used lightly. When an oil can be ingested (and not all can!), the best way to take it is to mix one drop with half a teaspoonful of honey and put the lot in half a cup of hot water. Not more than twice a day. Wishing you the best of health!

Fill up a bathtub with steaming hot water.
Dump a bag of epsom salt and 2 bottles of hydrogen peroxide into the hot water.

And then just jump in and soak in the water for a while.

Home remedy that works!

Hemorrhoids are associated with constipation and straining at bowel movements. How to get rid of hemorrhoids https://tr.im/NcZab
Pregnancy is also associated with hemorrhoids. These conditions lead to increased pressure within the hemorrhoidal veins that causes them to swell. Other conditions, for example chronic liver disease, may also cause increased venous pressure and may be associated with hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are very common and are estimated to occur in up to one-half of the population by age 50.

Yes, it will help and it can found in most stores that carry scented oils and/or candles.
A quicker method is to suck on a peppermint stick or mint candy.
