If you deal with sinus pressure, allergies, or congestion, a clove steam can help clear your airways and refresh your skin.
Here’s how:
- Boil a pot of water.
- Add a handful of whole cloves.
- Remove from heat, place the pot on a safe surface.
- Drape a towel over your head and lean over the pot (keep a safe distance).
- Inhale the steam deeply for 5–10 minutes.
It’s an easy way to support circulation, open your sinuses, and reduce tension—especially helpful during cold seasons.
