The uses of steam therapy date back to the time of ancient Egypt. Since then, this type of therapy has been recommended for the treatment of a variety of health problems, especially those affecting the respiratory tract and against headaches.

Therapy can be done through a hot shower that steams the entire bathroom or using a bowl filled with hot water and covering the head with a towel while inhaling the steam through the nose and mouth. The steam fills the lungs with moist air and has excellent therapeutic effects.

Health benefits of steam therapy

Eases breathing: If you are affected by cold, flu, bronchitis, sinusitis, asthma, allergies or any other respiratory infection, then you should use the value of steam therapy.

The steam frees the airways and makes it easier. The irritated respiratory tract is lubricated and blockages are eliminated. It is suggested that you put eucalyptus, peppermint or mint leaves in the bowl of hot water. If you don't have leaves you can use two drops of the plant extract oil.

Against headache

Headache caused by sinusitis can be easily treated with steam therapy. Steam plays a soothing role for sinusitis and removes any possible blockage. Breathing becomes easier and the pain goes away immediately. In this case, bay leaves in a bowl of hot water are suggested. You can even just steam without potted plants.

Against stress
Steam therapy relaxes the body and brain by stimulating the release of endorphins, which soften the impact of stress. The heat of the steam increases blood circulation and relaxes the muscles. According to information from AgroWeb.org, chamomile or lavender is recommended as a soothing plant inside the hot water container.

Eliminates toxins

A steam bath helps you cleanse the body of toxins that accumulate as a result of stress, poor nutrition, problematic digestion and others. In addition, the steam puts the body in a hypothermic state in which bacteria and viruses cannot survive.

Against muscle stiffness

This therapy is useful for relaxing muscles strained during physical activity. This is the reason why athletes enter the sauna or take a steam bath after training. Steam dilates blood vessels and improves blood circulation.

Skin and hair

15 minutes of steam bath is enough for the skin to enjoy health and glow. Steam avoids the appearance of acne, blackheads or spots. It helps the blood circulation in the skin but also improves the health of the hair and scalp by keeping the production of fat under control.

Caution
Steam therapy is not recommended for infants, pregnant women and people suffering from high blood pressure. Children can use the steam with preparations advised by doctors. Do not do such therapies if you have drunk alcohol or eaten a heavy meal./ AgroWeb.org
