While cough and summer aren't two words that we usually think go together- summer coughs can be quite common. The common cold and flu, or a sinus infection can all lead to a nasty cough on a warm day. 

Eucalyptus ssential oil may help soothe the throat, reduce inflammation, and clear away mucus. 

Here are a few things to try:

Add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to 1oz carrier oil. Rub the mixture onto your chest and throat. You can also dilute eucalyptus oil in boiling water and inhale the steam. 

When you're dealing with a summer cold make sure to get plenty of rest and drink fluids in addition to your oils treatments.
