Healing hot mist
Steam therapy is the use of warm, moist air for health benefits—typically to ease respiratory congestion, open sinuses, or soothe irritated airways.
It ranges from holding your face over a bowl of hot water to sitting in a steam room or shower: Steam therapy helped clear my cold symptoms.
The practice is sometimes called steam inhalation.
