Louise's Top Tip

Now that it's winter and everyone's got at least a runny nose, this couldn't be more timely!

Feeling the cold coming on? As well as taking either echinacea or resistance support, have yourself a sweat bath to warm up the body and kill those nasty bugs.
Take a bath as warm as you can without burning yourself, putting in Epsom or bath salts along with black pepper and eucalyptus. Put a cold compress on your head (this is very important - you want your body to heat up, not your brain!). Stay in the bath for 20 minutes and then head to a warm bed with a good book or Radio 4 and a cup of ginger tea. You will sweat a lot but awaken feeling refreshed and alive once more.
