How it works
Warm humid air soothes and moisturises the dry or inflamed pharyngeal mucosa, temporarily reducing the irritation that causes throat pain and hoarseness.
Use water cooled slightly from boiling to avoid burns. Effect is temporary and symptomatic only. Does not shorten illness duration.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
