Rosemary is a great herb for a congestion-breaking herbal steam.

Instructions

  1. Bring water to a boil and pour over a handful of leaves in a medium sized bowl. 
  2. Put a towel over your head and place your face just above the bowl.

Inhale deeply and slowly. Do this for at least 2-5 minutes. May be done 2-3 times a day but do not exceed 15 minutes per session.
