EXERCISE - THE CORRECT WAY TO INHALE STEAM


Process:

  1. Heat up water to boiling temperature.
  2. Now cautiously pour the hot water into the bowl. Cover the towel over the back of your head.
  3. Close your eyes and slowly lower your head toward the vapour about 10 inches away from the water.
  4. Avoid making direct contact with the water.
  5. Inhale slowly and deeply via the nose for at least two to five minutes.
  6. Don’t steam for more than 10-15 minutes per session. However, you can repeat steam therapy twice or thrice in a day to ease congestion or if you still suffer from symptoms.

Benefits :

  1. The key benefit of inhaling in moist, warm steam is that it may help alleviate irritation and swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages. 
  2. The vapour may also support thinning of the mucus in your sinuses, which permits them to clear out easily. 
  3. It also relaxes throat muscles, lessen soreness and inflammation and dilates blood vessels improving blood circulation. This allows breathing to return to normal and help you to breathe well.
