Description
How Steam Inhalation Machines Work:
Producing Steam:
The machine heats water, creating steam that is then released as a fine mist or vapor.
Inhalation:
The user inhales the steam, which moistens the nasal passages, throat, and lungs.
Benefits:
The warm, moist air helps to:
Loosen mucus: Thins and loosens thick mucus, making it easier to clear from the airways.
Soothe airways: Relieves irritation and inflammation in the nasal passages, throat, and bronchi.
Reduce congestion: Helps clear nasal passages and make breathing easier.
Facilitate medication delivery: In some cases, can be used to help deliver medications directly to the airways.
