How to Make a Steam Treatment for a Cough

This steam treatment for a cough is easy to make. This steam treatment helps with a cough and persistent coughing and is gentle enough for regular use. This steam treatment can be used as needed, but I suggest using at least once per day to help cure a cough.

Things You'll Need

• 4 Cups of Water
• 1 Drop of Cedarwood Oil
• 1 Drop of Hyssop Oil
• 1 Drop of Eucalyptus Oil

Instructions

1. Pour the water into a pan, and bring to a simmer. Once it begins to simmer, remove the pan from the heat. Make sure not to allow the water to reach a boil, which is too harsh for these essential oils and will weaken the treatment.

2. Settle into a comfortable position, where you can lean over the pan comfortably.

3. Drop the cedarwood oil, hyssop oil and eucalyptus oil into the pan, and stir the mixture together quickly.

4. Lean over the pan, and pull a towel behind your head and shoulders to work as a tent to keep the steam from escaping.

5. Breathe in the steam, taking turns between both deep and small breaths.

6. Continue this for about 10 to 15 minutes.
