Dear Pushpendre, Thanks for starting these! Do you have a source you can cite for the steam inhalation advice? I don't see it on the CDC guidelines and all the science and public health journalists I know have recommended against it. https://theprint.in/health/does-steaming-help-in-covid-the-answer-is-yes-and-no-heres-why/652172/

Hi , yes younare right that the Steam is not going to cure Covid. thats why i was careful with the phrasing. As the article says, ...

While steaming has emerged as a popular home remedy to beat Covid, doctors say all it does is ease stuffy nose. But do it right, or else it can cause scalding of skin and airways.

my dad personally found it to be a useful thing while he was rexovering from covid, thats why i included it.

i can change the phrasing if you have suggestion.

sorry for any typos, i am on phone.
