Perk Up with this Scrub

Suffering from stuffy nose?  This scrub will have you feeling better in no time.  To make:  In a resealable jar, combine 1 cup of coarse salt and 1 cup of grape-seed oil, then add 10 drops each of rosemary essential oil and eucalyptus essential oil.  Before a steamy shower, massage the mixture into dry skin - inhaling deeply all the while - then step in and rinse off.

Both essential oils contain ingredients that help clear mucus, and their antiseptic properties kill harboring bacteria. Moreover, the oil's active ingredients promote circulation and create a warming sensation, which opens pores so the antioxidants in the grape-seed oil are quickly absorbed.
