Shower steamers to clear blocked noses

Having had the worst cold in ages this past week which has developed into a nasty sinus infection, I remembered reading about homemade 'Vicks' shower steamers. Here's the recipe...

1 cup Baking soda
1/3 cup Water plus extra if needed
Essential oils: Eucalyptus, lavender and rosemary
Muffin tin
Muffin liners

Pre heat oven to 170 degrees
Slowly add water to baking soda while stirring  to form a thick paste (like putty) add more water if required
Spoon into lined muffin tray and bake for 20 mins at 170 degrees
Once cooled add 15 drops of each oil

Drop onto shower tray of hot steaming shower and inhale the essential oils
