Mira Kapoor, a popular celebrity shares how steam inhalation with trusted Vicks VapoRub helps relieve cough and cold symptoms. Along with this, she also encourages mothers to include amala juice, warm haldi doodh and exercises in their family health regimes this winter to manage respiratory health effectively.
Mira Kapoor said, “As the winters approach, I turn to a few simple measures to help fight against the seasonal flu and strengthen my body’s immunity. Apart from eating a balanced diet of fruits and vegetables, I also practice steam inhalation with Vicks VapoRub for 2-5 minutes daily when I have cough and cold symptoms. I also read that steam inhalation has been recommended by the Ministry of Ayush. Since this is recommended especially with natural ingredients like Pudina and Ajwain, I’ve been using Vicks VapoRub, as it has the benefits of Pudina, Ajwain, Kapoor and Nilgiri in one jar, which gives fast relief from blocked nose and cough.” She demonstrated how adding 1-2 teaspoons of Vicks VapoRub into a bowl of hot water, not boiling, covers her head with a towel and how inhaling the aromatic steam helps her with nasal congestion.
