Our bodies tend to have a bit of trouble this time of year. Congestion due to illness or allergies, stress, dryness and everything in between. I created this steam to support our bodies with all of that in mind.
Crafted with Elderflower, Holy Tulsi, Lemon Balm, Rosemary, Thyme, Ginger, and Yarrow
Steams are so important and can relieve so much pressure and congestion. While steam alone is excellent at loosening up chest congestion and clearing nasal passages, there are many herbs that can be added to the steam to help that process as well as add additional benefits. It's a simple and time honored process that can even be done by kiddos.
Just boil a pot of water and turn off the heat, add the herbs and let it steep for a few minuges. Then, just breathe in the steam! It helps to drape a towel over your head to create a mini steam room. Breathe in the steam for 3-8 minutes, rinse and dry. You can also add it to a steamy shower or bath in a sachet or even brew a cup of tea with it as well, as all the herbs are effective internally too
Let's meet the plants 🌿
Elderflower has been used for ages to help aid in regulating body temperature with fevers. It's also been shown to be incredible for healing the respiratory tract as well as soothing tired and dry skin. All things we need this time of year. Same for Yarrow! Yarrow has been shown to be one of the best herbs for fevers.
 Tulsi (Holy Basil) is just an incredible herb all around. It's been used in Ayurvedic remedies to help with illness for centuries. It's been shown to be extremely effective in herbal steams controlling cough and maintaining health throughout the respiratory tract. There have actually been modern day studies done with children using steams with Tulsi and without. All studies have shown steam inhalation with tulsi leaves being much more effective at reducing symptoms. 
Then there's Thyme, or Thyme and Rosemary in this case. Thyme is one of those herbs you never want to be without, especially when sick. It's been shown to be gentle and effective, specifically for congestion, coughs and sore throats. Same for Rosemary.
