I have a bad cold, day 4, and I have to give a speech online at TCA online Toastmasters speakers club meeting. The speech is important to me because it is my area of expertise. I am the author of Wedding Speeches & Toasts, and How to ls, be the Best Man, as well as compiling two self-published books of quotations, Quick Quotations, and Who Said What When. I need to be able to restore my energy and to speak without coughing, sneezing, nor losing my voice during the speech and afterwards.
I discovered that I cleared my nose by sniffing a small lavender candle which I was given at a mother's Day dinner at Botanico Restaurant in Singapore's Botanic Gardens. I have written about this dinner in another post. The dinner also served as a pre-birthday celebration meal.
My second success in clearing my breathing and improving my mood same from sniffing Rose bath Salts. The lidded glass container is labelled with the ingredients : sea salt, rose petals, rose oil.

I have a bad cold, day 4, and I am giving an online 5 to 7 minute speech tonight (at TCA Toastmasters). The subject is quotations, my area of expertise. I have edited two books of quotations and I a compiling another and a workshop, so I am really keen to speak, without coughing, sneezing, nor straining my voice.
I found that I enjoyed and breathed better after simply sniffing a lavender candle. (The candle was a free gift to ladies at a mother's day dinner (also my pre-birthday dinner) at Botanico restaurant.
I had the same aromatherapy effect from sniffing rose bath salts, part of the Bundle of Jolly bought for me on my birthday by President Faith of BHA, Toastmasters club. Thank you, Faith.
That gave me the idea of hunting for Tiger Balm in the bathroom cabinet. I found the white sort, which I think is slightly different and not as strong as the green label.
I also discovered a miniature bottle of Eucalyptus oil.
My family used a brand called Vick's vapour rub when I was a child in the UK.
I had also read online that if you sneeze or rub your eyes it could be a sign that you are dehydrated. If you are sneezing, logically that is a loss of liquid. So I keep drinking water to compensate and lubricate.
Friends, everybody, do you have any other suggestions (or recollections)? I have already had my first anti Covid-19 vaccination. and am due for another shortly.)
