Steam Therapy and Respiratory Conditions
Steam inhalation is an effective treatment in respiratory conditions and is highly recommended for treatment of sinusitis, bronchitis, allergies and asthma.
How does it work?
- Steam relieves inflammation and congestion of upper respiratory mucous membranes
- Relieves throat irritation by moistening the air
- Relieves spasmodic breathing (asthma, croup)
- Loosens secretions and stimulates discharge of mucous from the throat and lungs (natural expectorant)
- Relaxes muscles and relieves coughing
- Keeps the mucous membranes from excessive drying
Scientific Research:
"One man could hardly breathe. He did a 15 minute Steamy
Wonder™ treatment. The next day, he said 'I can breathe,
I´m not sick, it's wonderful!' "
