"101
Ways to Attack Your Headache
BEFORE the Pain Starts!" Tip 49 : Try steam inhalation.
Try steam inhalation. This is especially true for those who have
a sinus problem. Steam inhalation is an excellent way of clearing
all the spaces inside. If you have an infection too, a steam inhalation
can be very soothing. But there is a word of caution that I have
to offer here.
Be very careful about you eyes. Remember that it is not advisable
to expose your eyes to steam and so take care to protect your
eyes when you are inhaling steam.
Another thing that you should be careful about is the temperature
of the steam. You just need fairly hot water and not scorching
hot, sizzling vapors of water. The object is not to scald your
skin but to send some warm vapors up your nose. In fact steam
inhalation is one of the most recommended therapies for people
who get sinus related headache.
The point that you should bear in mind is that the sooner you
inhale once you get the headache, the better. If you wait for
long hours before you inhale, you are going to have to inhale
longer and at shorter intervals for the inhalation to have any
effect on the headache.
