8 Essential Oil That Work for Congestion in Shower Steamers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Each oil has different effects, and reasons, for helping with congestion, and when you use the right oils for the right reasons you can exit the shower feeling both refreshed and ready for the day. However, it should be noted that while these oils can certainly help to relieve the pressures from congestion and make it much harder to breathe, they are not replacements for proper medicine. They should be used to boost the effects of the medicine that you have been prescribed by a doctor when you are properly sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Eucalyptus<\/h4>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/bathbombguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/eucalyptus-1024x683.png\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOne of the best-known oils for respiratory problems the claims for this oil are vast, and when used on the skin or as a vapor rub it can have properties of being antibacterial, antispasmodic, antiseptic, and analgesic. This oil should be added as the main oil to your shower steamer as it will not work as a supporting smell.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Peppermint<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps the go-to oil to use when creating a shower steamer for working on congestion, this is the strongest smelling oil that you may have. Usually, this oil will be used entirely on its own and at a lower dosage as it can burn the eyes and throat if too much is used. As a bonus, the headache that you receive from the congestion will help to be cleared away by the peppermint oil.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Tea Tree Oil<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
One of the more versatile oils, many people swear by tea tree oil to help heal all ailments that you may have. This is because of the strong antimicrobial and antiseptic properties that the oil has, however, for congestion it can be a bit limited. It will help with sore throats and a sore nasal passage but using it as a support oil for peppermint or eucalyptus shower steamers will be much more effective.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Lavender<\/h4>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/bathbombguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lavender-1-1024x683.png\")
<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nLavender is the first essential oil that does not directly clear out the nasal passages and those looking for something stronger should avoid using it. However, if you are stressed, or just feel some pressure building in your nose, then a lavender shower steamer will relax your body and help congestion to go away.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Oregano<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
With a strong smell oregano should be used sparingly as it can easily burn the throat, nose, and eyes when added to a shower steamer. However, if used right and in conjunction with another strong oil, it will clear out your throat and have a lasting effect that will have you breathing fresh air for the whole day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Lemon<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Lemon oil has the same properties that lemon might have, with a fresh smell that greatly relieves the tension from congestion. Usually, lemon oil is used in conjunction with peppermint oil as the two smells and effects greatly complement each other. However, it should be noted that you should never use too much lemon oil as it can and will cause your eyes to be sensitive for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Thyme<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Thyme is the oil we recommend using when you are coming down with the common cold, it\u2019s antiseptic properties have proved to be great at fighting against the bugs that make us all sick.
