Air
Quick, fresh air! Ventilate your home when your sick children are not there to fight against dry air. Viruses love the warmth of homes and offices, where people are confined. Ventilate every room daily for at least 15 minutes, even in extreme cold.
- Moisten the air. Use a humidifier or place bowls of water near radiators.
- Lower the temperature during the night. Overheating rooms dries and weakens the mucous membranes. No more than 19 ° C: see to it!
- If you’re a smoker, reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke. You won’t block your airways as much.
- Diffuse some eucalyptus oil around the house, which is very effective against colds. As soon as doubtful symptoms appear, make a steam inhalation with eucalyptus to clear your airways and prevent viruses from multiplying.
