MION Can Help You Combat Your Cold — Naturally

As the cold and flu season approaches, many of us are looking for ways to stay healthy and ease the inevitable symptoms that come with it. While over-the-counter medicines can offer quick relief, it’s not talked about enough how natural remedies can not only soothe the body but also promote overall well-being. The power of natural ingredients like eucalyptus, peppermint and magnesium can provide holistic support to boost immunity and ease the discomfort we face during cold and flu season. With MION products like our chest rub, shower steamers, magnesium oil and essential oils let us help you NATURALLY fight your seasonal cold.

One of the most effective ways to relieve congestion and ease breathing during a cold is by using our chest rub. Introduced earlier this year, it’s made with natural ingredients like eucalyptus and peppermint that can provide relief from stuffiness and support better sleep. Eucalyptus, known for its antimicrobial properties, helps to open up nasal passages, while peppermint provides a cooling sensation that can calm irritation. Together, these ingredients work to help you breathe more easily, making it a must-have during cold and flu season. While the eucalyptus and peppermint oils lend their aromatic properties to relieve congestion and ease breathing, the calming effects of cedarwood atlas, rosemary, lavender, and cinnamon complete the blend, promoting relaxation and tranquility. We all have our tricks and remedies to fight a good fight against stubborn colds, but our chest rub even works with your classic “wet sock treatment” that aids in circulation to clear up chest congestion and that painful head cold.

For those who enjoy relaxing self care time, shower steamers infused with essential oils like eucalyptus can turn your shower into a spa-like experience while helping to clear your sinuses. These steamers release soothing vapors that not only calm the mind but also offer respiratory benefits. Breathing in eucalyptus and peppermint vapors during a hot shower can be a natural way to reduce inflammation in the respiratory tract and loosen mucus, providing much-needed relief when you're feeling congested.

Supporting the body’s immune system through products like magnesium oil is essential for overall health all year round. Magnesium plays a crucial role in numerous bodily functions, including regulating immune responses and reducing stress, which can weaken the body’s ability to fight off infections. Applying magnesium oil topically, can help to restore magnesium levels, promote relaxation and ensure that your immune system is in the best possible shape.

Lastly, soothing essential oils like eucalyptus and the immune-boosting blend found in thieves essential oil are powerful to have on hand during cold and flu season. Thieves essential oil, a blend of clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary, is known for its antiviral and antibacterial properties, making it a great tool for disinfecting spaces and boosting immune function. Additionally, the whipped shea body butter with eucalyptus and peppermint from our line of body butters offer not only skin hydration but also the added benefit of these immune-boosting essential oils.

At MION, it’s our mission to offer natural solutions for all aspects of your life. These natural remedies used in your daily wellness routine can offer a soothing and effective way to combat cold and flu symptoms, while also promoting overall health. With high-quality products like ours, you can take a more holistic approach to staying healthy this season.
