Easy Sinus Relief
All you need is:
1 1/2- 2 cups uncooked white long grain rice (DO NOT use instant rice. It will catch fire/burn when being heated.)
An old cotton sock
Optional: A few drops of eucalyptus essential oil
Note: If you want to use this for headache relief, add peppermint essential oil instead of the eucalyptus.
Instructions:
Just pour the rice into the sock (and essential oil if you are using it) and tie closed. Next time you are in need of sinus relief, just heat it in the microwave for approximately 45 seconds (depending), and place wherever you are in pain.
***WARNING: BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN HEATING--IF YOU ARE UNAWARE OF HOW 'POWERFUL' YOUR MICROWAVE IS, BEGIN WITH 30 SECONDS AND REHEAT IN 10 SECOND INCREMENTS TO BE SAFE.
Our school health clerk uses a similar idea for tummy aches and menstrual cramps... the kids love it.
