Setting up a Steam Inhalation Tent

http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/TIP02166 Setting up a Steam Inhalation Tent Steam inhalation is a wonderful way to remedy respiratory problems such as chest congestion, sinusitis, bronchitis and bronchial cough. It is easy to do and very cost-effective: simply bring a pot of water to boil on your stove, then stand over it and drape a towel over your shoulders. Be careful not to get too close to the steam, and that the towel does not touch the flame or burner on your stove. Try to breathe through your nose if you have nasal and sinus problems; if you are too stuffed up, breathe through your mouth with your lips pursed. The steam will help keep nasal passages moistened and relieve some of the aches and pains associated with respiratory problems."Get off your ass and

You can also add a few drops of Eucalyptus radiata oil to the hot

water and breathe both the steam and essential oils. Eucalyptus oils

are excellent for opening up the sinus cavities if congested and

helping out the lungs. It's also anti-inflammatory and kills bacteria.

The Eucalyptus has a nice smell if you like essential oils. My wife

always uses steam and essential oils together to open up the

lungs.

 

Warm sesame oil also knocks out mucus in the sinus areas.
