Lavender Steam Inhalation Treatment

Lavender Therapy 101: Congestion

Head congestion can be very annoying, not to mention uncomfortable. Want a quick way to relieve some of that congestion while soothing your senses? Try a Lavender Steam Inhalation treatment!
Directions: Add 4-6 drops of lavender essential oil to a bowl of hot water. Place a towel over your head and inhale deeply to breathe in the vapor. (Keep your eyes shut.) Continue to breathe deeply for a few minutes, occasionally removing the towel and your head from the bowl.

Aaaahhhhhhhh!!!! This treatment is so soothing! The steam will help to relieve head congestion and any nervous tension will be erased.

Another bonus? Lavender essential oil can be beneficial in your fight against acne. This treatment can be turned into a soothing Lavender Facial Steam for acne. Follow the directions outlined above, enjoy the steam for 5-6 minutes, and finish by washing your face with cold water afterwards to close your pores.
