Take a deep breath, drawing the steam into your mouth and nose, and do this for about 5 to 10 minutes. Repeat several times a day.

To make it, mix 1 teaspoon of dried chamomile flowers with 1 to 2 cups of boiling water and soak for 5 minutes. When the chamomile is fully soaked, pour out the water and wrap the chamomile in gauze or cheesecloth and apply directly. When the compress thickens, remove it and repeat this process several times.
