There are several varieties of household steam humidifier. This is a simple plastic or metal bowl with nozzles for inhalation by the mouth and nose, as well as an electrical analog, which is often used for cosmetic purposes to cleanse the sebaceous glands and pores of the skin under the influence of hot steam.
Usability
You can, of course, use the old-fashioned pan with a decoction of medicinal herbs heated over a fire, over which you need to bend over with a towel and inhale the vapors. At the same time, it is easy to get a burn, to experience terrible inconvenience, and there is always a danger of pouring boiling water on yourself. It is generally impossible for a child to do such a procedure, so we turn your attention to modern convenient inhalers that have proven their effectiveness.
The steam humid inhaler is lightweight, made of heat-resistant material. It consists of a bowl into which a hot broth is poured, tightly closed and safe, an adapter and a mask for the nose and mouth. If you have a runny nose, you need to breathe herbs through your nose, and when coughing, use your mouth.
