Steam Inhalation
for Cold & Flu
Inhaling steam from hot water (with or without eucalyptus oil) to loosen nasal congestion and relieve sinus discomfort during colds and flu.
How it works
Warm moist air thins and loosens mucus secretions in the nasal passages, facilitating drainage and reducing congestion.
What to watch for
Let water cool slightly before inhaling — do not use boiling water. Supervise children. Effect is temporary and symptomatic only.
