Day 4 '?s' - Steam Inhalation?

[ScotTex]

Is vaping another form of Steam Inhalation?
Have any of you used this method to clean out your lungs faster?
Have any of you used any of the oils listed below in your e-liquid?

How To Choose The Oils
For upper respiratory and sinus congestion try one of each or combine the following:

• Peppermint 3-5 drops
• Eucalyptus 3-5 drops
• Camphor 3 drops

vaping is not the same as steam inhalation. Steam inhalation uses a warm steam to help clear out your sinuses and loosen up mucous and phlegm. Steam inhalation does not utilize VG or PG like vaping, so the liquid is not hygroscopic and should not dehydrate like vaping can.

Oils are tough to work with when making juice and I've never tried those or wanted to.

Thanks for the replies, I really want to try it (Steam Inhalation) and see if it helps with my cough and mucus\phlegm.

 

[Strigoi]

just give it a little bit of time. the coughing and mucus/phlegm will go away.

 

[ScotTex]

OK thanks, I'll probably go ahead and buy some of that oil, just to be ready for a winter cold.

It certainly isn't going to hurt anything for you to use steam inhalation to loosen up all the phlegm and mucous. It could make clearing things out a little easier on you. Just be very careful with what you use for steam inhalation and make sure that your equipment is clean at all times.

Rosemary oil! Eucalyptus and rosemary oils are always my favorites to clear my lungs and sinuses. Peppermint and camphor work too. But don't vape them. Oil is not good for your atomizer so probably not good for a cartomizer either. Just put a few drops on a napkin, a glass dish or even a no-longer-need-it-cuz-I-quit-analogs ashtray. Within a few minutes the smell will permeate the room and your breathing will improve. Use caution - too much and your family may complain. Honestly, just sniffing the bottle will help. Rosemary is my favorite. It's great for mornings. Clears the lungs and is energizing. I always use rosemary shampoo or bodywash. A coworker keeps peppermint oil in a 3 ml sample juice bottle. A few sniffs clears her sinus allergy headaches. Beats a pedipot or meds!

Thank you both, I have Eucalyptus on the way and I'll give Rosemary a try in the future.. When I smoked, guess I just thought "Why bother trying that, my lungs and sinus will be even cruddier tomorrow". lol

How about that lung juice from Nhaler? Anyone try that?

As nice as that might sound, I wouldn't vape it simply because of their warnings regarding alkaloids. It's bad enough that I vape to get my nic fix. I don't need to add another addiction to it.
