This is an excellent remedy for those occasions where a cold or allergies have caused sinus congestion.  By opening and draining the sinuses, you will prevent developing a sinus infection, deepen your breathing, and relieve the pressure in your head. If you have not tried a steam inhalation before, it is rather easy.  Just grab a bath towel and a glass bowl from the kitchen.  Put some water on to boil while you grab the essential oils.
