Steam is one of the best methods to ease breathing and break up congestion. The healing, aromatic, antibacterial vapors go right to where they are needed most - the lungs and sinuses. Part of the appeal of a hot bath or shower is the steam that they create, and of course vaporizers are commonly used to raise the humidity and ease breathing in sick rooms.

Herbal Steam Remedies
Herbal steam is a great botanical treat for facial care, specifically for deep pore cleansing. The rising steam wafts the herbal goodness up to coat your face while the heat helps open your pores. Herbal facial steams are a relaxing way to rejuvenate your skin while you relax. To make a simple steam preparation use 2 - 3 drops essential oil, or a handful of fresh herbs such as eucalyptus in a bowl of hot water. Make a tent over your head with a towel. Close your eyes lean over the bowl and breathe in the steam for about a minute.
