Steaming Inhalation

[Guest guest]

I subscribe to a list from Dr. Weil –

and he suggested below for help bacterial infection. Just thought I would pass

it along…I have hear of using tea tree in steam…but not this.

Adding

Aromatics to Steaming Inhalation

Yesterday's Tip discussed

how to set up a simple steam inhalation tent in your home. Once you have the

steam tent set up, consider enhancing the effectiveness of steam inhalation

with aromatic herbs. Some favorites are sage and eucalyptus, which can make the

steam more soothing. These herbs are also antibacterial and using aromatics in

this manner can help to reduce the chance of secondary bacterial infection when

respiratory diseases are caused by viruses. You can add sage or eucalyptus to

the boiling water by the whole leaf or as an essential oil - try a teaspoon of

the oil, or a small handful of the leaves. Both are available at herb shops and

natural food grocers.

Hope this helps someone.

Yes, I've used eucalyptus oil in my facial steamer, worked great! PS: Works wonders on your skin too, a double bonus!
