7. Eucalyptus
Everyone knows a few tricks that can help when you’re having flu or cold symptoms. Sipping some chicken soup, drinking lots of fluids, and taking some rest are all very helpful to relieve those symptoms, but what if I told you there’s something else you’ve never tried but definitely should?
Hanging a eucalyptus in your bathroom (the best spot for this plant that loves moisture) provides an aromatherapeutic experience during your shower routine. That’s because this houseplant contains a high amount of essential oils, which are released, especially when there’s heat and steam in the room (like a bathroom).
Not only does this plant have a minty and fresh scent, but it also has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties thanks to its natural oils. These properties are known to help reduce congestion and fight back colds. Moreover, the tannins found in eucalyptus also boost the healthy fluids that your respiratory system needs.
