Nebulizing at home without a nebulizer can be achieved safely with simple alternatives. Here’s how:
- Boil Water: Heat water until it’s steaming but not boiling. Place it in a bowl.
- Towel Tent: Drape a towel over your head to create a tent. Lean over the bowl, keeping a safe distance from the steam.
- Breathe Deeply: Inhale the steam deeply for 10-15 minutes. Take breaks if needed.
- Add Essential Oils: For added benefits, consider adding essential oils like eucalyptus or peppermint.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to keep your airways moist.
Follow these steps to manage respiratory conditions effectively without a nebulizer.
