What Is Steam Inhalation?
Steam inhalation is a home remedy typically used to relieve symptoms of sinusitis, pollen allergies, and other ear, nose, and throat issues. A common benefit cited by medical professionals is that it reduces congestion, as it breaks up mucus in the airways. Some people combine steam inhalation with aromatherapy to provide natural relief without the use of any medications. Often, humidifiers are recommended for people with health problems caused by dry air in the home. When a humidifier alone does not provide enough relief, steam inhalation might help alleviate some symptoms.
