Treating for Faster Relief

Fortunately, here are seven natural decongestion tips to help you stop tossing and turning so you can get a restorative night’s sleep.

Vicks ZA - ADP - 7 Natural Ways To Help You Sleep Well Even With A Cold

__1. Rinse away nasal congestion__ Wash away mucous that’s interfering with your breathing by doing regular nasal rinses. Nasal rinse kits can be found at most pharmacies and are easy and painless to use. Essentially, you are rinsing your nasal cavity with a mixture of distilled water and sodium chloride. This helps to clear your nasal passages and keep them moist. If you’re uncomfortable with a nose rinse, try a saline nasal spray instead.

__2. Darken your bedroom__ It’s important to create a healthy environment that promotes quality sleep. Because incoming light tells the brain to wake up, try to block morning light from reaching your eyes. You can accomplish this by hanging dark curtains or by wearing a comfortable sleep mask that covers your eyes. Also, if you have a brightly illuminated alarm clock, make sure it’s not facing you during the night.

__3. Keep it cool__ When your body temperature drops, your brain goes into sleep mode. The National Sleep Foundation recommends that you keep your bedroom between 12.2º C and 23.8º C.

__4. Take a hot shower__ Before bed, muster the strength to take a hot shower. When you get out, the drop in body temperature helps prepare your brain for sleep. Bonus: Steam loosens congestion and hydrates your nasal and throat passages, helping them decongest naturally.

__5. Slip on socks__ Put on a pair of cozy socks before you go to bed. According to a Swiss study, warming your feet helps your body relax and puts you in the snooze zone.1

__6. Elevate your head__ When you’re sick, sleep with your head elevated. Prop yourself up with a few extra pillows or the plump cushions from your sofa. Sleeping elevated helps ease sinus pressure and makes breathing less difficult.

__7. Quiet your mind__ Even when you’re exhausted and not feeling well, sometimes you can have a mentalblock that prevents you from falling asleep. To get into the right frame of mind, try one of these calming pursuits: Meditate, jot down your thoughts in a journal, listen to soothing music, or read your favorite book.

### Directions
 

Soothe a sniffly baby!
 
If your baby is restless and miserable, try rubbing a dab of some Vicks® BabyRub on your own chest. Then, as you hold your child close against your bare arm, your body warmth will release the soothing aromas, helping your baby to relax and relieving their discomfort.
 
Where to put Vicks® BabyRub on a baby? The "Love Heart" massage: Try a 'love heart' massage on your baby's chest. Warm your hands and rub a small dab of rub some Vicks® BabyRub on your fingertips, then place both hands on your baby's chest. With fingers flat, stroke up the sternum, around the top of the chest, out to the shoulders, down to the base of the ribs and back to the bottom of your baby's sternum, making a heart shape (repeat this several times as long as your baby is enjoying it).
 
The soothing aromas of lavender, rosemary and eucalyptus in Vicks® BabyRub helps your baby rest and relax more easily, so they can sleep better at night and be happy and relaxed during the day.
