  • Replace garlic with thyme for a milder steam that also clears sinuses.

You can use 1–2 remedies daily as needed. Combine elixirs with steam or nasal rinses for best results.

Q2: Are these safe for kids?
Yes, but with adjustments. Avoid raw honey for children under 1 year. Use milder doses and always consult a pediatrician.

Q3: Can I use these if I have allergies or asthma?
These are generally safe, but test small amounts first. Avoid ingredients you know you’re allergic to.
