Eucalyptus Essential Oil and Steam Inhalation
With the fires, it's crucial to protect your respiratory health. One natural way to help clear your airways is through steam inhalation, using eucalyptus essential oil—a product available at our self-care store.
Why Eucalyptus?
Eucalyptus oil is known for its soothing and decongestant properties. It can help open your airways, making breathing easier during smoky conditions. Adding a few drops to steam inhalation can enhance the benefits.
How to Do Steam Inhalation with Eucalyptus Oil:
1. Boil Water: Heat a pot until it reaches a rolling boil.
2. Set Up: Carefully pour the hot water into a bowl. Add 2-3 drops of eucalyptus essential oil to the water.
3. Position Yourself: Place your face over the bowl, keeping about 12 inches away to avoid burns. Drape a towel over your head to trap the steam.
4. Inhale the Steam: Close your eyes and breathe deeply through your nose for 5-10 minutes. Take breaks if needed.
5. Finish Up: After the session, gently pat your face dry and enjoy the relief.
Important Reminder: Always consult your doctor before trying new remedies, especially if you have underlying health conditions. Steam inhalation is a natural method, but it may not be suitable for everyone.
