Prep: 5 min
Decongestant Inhalant
A eucalyptus steam inhalation opens up a stuffy nose fast — the same idea behind menthol vapor rubs, but delivered through steam.
What you'll need
- 4 cups hot water
- 5 drops eucalyptus essential oil
- A large towel
Steps
- Pour hot water into a bowl and add eucalyptus oil.
- Drape a towel over your head and the bowl, creating a tent.
- Breathe deeply for 5–10 minutes, keeping eyes closed.
Tip: Keep a comfortable distance from the water — too close can cause a steam burn.
