Menthol is derived from the potent distillation of other mint oils. This natural cold remedy creates a strong vapor (found in popular chest rubs) that can help open up clogged sinus cavities and can also soothe sore and scratchy throats. Mix in a few drops to coconut oil to create your own rub, and place it right under your nose. Add a few drops to a bowl of boiling water for a natural steam cure to help reduce pressure in sore, achy heads. If you have a hard time finding high-quality menthol oil, look for peppermint oil at your local natural foods store and use it in the same applications.
