How To Do Steam Inhalations

This approach has been around for many years. Many of you have likely tried this. The variation I get my patients to do, is to add the essential oils to help speed up the recovery time. 
The steam will help loosen up any congestion by thinning out the mucus in the sinuses and nose. The essential oils help act as antimicrobials to help eliminate any pathogens that might be present. 

What you need:

• 1 medium sized pot
• Water to fill up the pot
• 1 towel
• Oregano essential oil
• Tea tree essential oil
• Eucalyptus essential oil

Here's how to do it:

1. Grab a pot of water and bring it to a boil.
2. Once boiling, remove from heat and let stand for 5minutes. 
3. Add 1-2 drops each of Tea Tree, Oregano, Eucalyptus oil.
4. Lean over the pot and place the towel over your head like a tent. The towel helps keep the steam around your face.
5. Breathe in nice and deeply through your nose, repeat as tolerated.
