Disclaimer: If you feel symptoms of a common cold arising in your body, first and foremost check with your doctor that it’s not COVID. If you’ve been cleared and are indeed dealing with the common cold, try using these at-home tips to help alleviate congestion, soothe aches and pains, and clear your foggy mind.
Use an all-natural vaporizing chest balm.

Invest in a steam inhaler.
