A steam inhalation will help clear congested sinuses effectively. This is a wonderful treatment when you have a bad sinus infection or a cold leaving your nose congested or runny. It is also good for clearing out the lungs too. You can do this 2-3x a day as needed.

What you’ll need;

3 c. boiling water

1 ceramic bowl

4 teaspoons dried peppermint leaf (or 2-3 teabags will do)
large towel.

Place dried herbs/teabags in bowl. Pour boiling water over the herbs and let sit for a minute or so.

Place your face over the bowl and cover your head with the towel making a little tent over the bowl. Inhale deeply for 5 minutes and relax! This treatment is very soothing and relieving.

Alternately you can use 3-5 drops of peppermint or eucalyptus essential oil in leu/ added to the peppermint leaves.
