Can also experiment with tea tree oil. Take a little bottle of it and shake it 
up. Then quickly take the cap off and breath deeply through one nostril while 
keeping the other closed with a finger. Alternate nostrils. Try to hold in your 
breath when you breath in the tea tree oil vapor.

Can also try this with eucalyptus oil.

Can also try this with peppermint oil to clear sinuses.

  Subject: CS>Help please with asthma


  If I could ask help from the list.  I have asthma and started to have a cold 
a week ago Monday.  I bought an ultrasonic humidifier and started breathing in 
the mist twice a day for about 20 minutes.  Nevertheless, my cold advanced to a 
body wracking  cough as it usually does and I usually have to have steroids to 
knock it out.  I truely believe in CS and want to avoid steroids.  I have 
modified my Sunbeam ultrasonic humidifier and have put a medical grade flexible 
hose on it, so I am getting all of the CS mist in my lungs by breathing through 
this hose.  I do this a half a hour at a time twice a day.  What else can I do 
to stop this horrible cough that keeps me up at night?  

  Thank you all for your helpfulness.
