How Does This Ayurvedic Home Remedy Improve Wellness?

CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW

Feel dry, irritated, inflamed airway tissues sign in relief as you inhale warm, moist, soothing steam. When combined with bright, aromatic essential oils, you'll notice tension melting from your system and enjoy full, clear breaths.

Essential oils have an antimicrobial, bronchodilating effect which deals with lung pathology at the root.

Steam inhalation is an incredibly simple, affordable way to soothe the system when colds, congestion or sinus infections arise. These conditions can result in inflammation and excess mucus production, leading to a blocked nose and pain. Steam therapy sees moist, warm air loosen mucus in the nasal passages, throat and lungs to ease symptoms. It also eases the feeling of painful irritation in the nasal passages.
