How to Freshen Household Air and Help Relieve Sinus Problems Without Chemicals

The easiest and most natural way of eliminating bad air problems in the home and help relieve sinus problems too is with the use of lemons. It gives a refreshing natural fragrance to the indoors, particularly when fresh air circulating has been limited. Dryness in the air and household chemicals can aggravate sinus problems.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Vaporizer or lgt cooking pot
• 2 large lemons

1. Slice two lemons into about 1/2 inch thick

2. Lemon slices could be wrapped in a small piece of cloth tied with a string to keep them all together.

3. Place the lemon slice in a full container of water in a humidifier (or in a large pot on the stove-with lots of water in it)

4. Allow the humidifier to work with full steam or let the pot of water on the stove simmer at a very low temperature to slowly bring up the steam.

Tips & Warnings

• Allowing the lemon stream to work its way through the air for about a half a day does a good job of purifying the air, making a pleasant fragrance eliminates a lot of breathing stuffiness due to minor sinus problems.
• Make sure if you use the water pot on the stove that you watch it so that it does not boil dry. Also, throw out the lemons after a days use as they would have a tendency to get moldy. That would defeat the original purpose of having the freshness.
