To clear the airways : An effective and pleasant therapeutic gesture
Among all the therapeutic options available, inhalations of water vapor enriched with essential oils occupy a prominent place. They are beneficial for two reasons. Firstly, the water vapor exerts a moisturizing and soothing action on the mucous membranes and helps to restore the activity of the vibrating eyelashes. Secondly, the substances contained in the essential oils of eucalyptus, rosemary or thyme for example have, among other things, an antiseptic action. Inhalations therefore clear the airways and, to a certain extent, "disinfect" them.
