PROCEDURE FOR STEAM INHALATION
Steam inhalation is useful in relieving the congestion of bronchitis, common cold, sinusitis and other respiratory conditions. It decreases the viscosity of the mucus, so that it can be discharged and patient can breathe more easily. It is given either as plain water inhalation or with herbs added to it.
Procedure -
Either a sink or a pot (stainless steel or glass/enameled) can be used. If herbs are added to the steam, glass or enameled pot is preferred.
When using a sink, fill the sink with very hot water. Keep the water hot and steaming. Hold your head over the sink with face far enough from the water and breathe in the steam for 5-10 minutes.
When using a pot, fill a wide pot with water and bring it to a boil. Remove the pot from the store and allow the water to cool slightly, hold your head over the pot and breathe in the steam. Drape a towel over your head and the pot to prevent escape of the steam. Continue for 5-10 minutes.
After each steam inhalation treatment, take several deep breaths to clear lung congestion. Therapy may be repeated as and when required.

Procedure for Urine Test and Collections
Why is urine test required?
Urine is created by the kidneys. Kidneys remove water and various other waste products from the blood and form urine to discard the various wastes of the body. Thus kidneys purify the blood in this manner. Urine test thus helps to identify problems in the kidney functions, infections in the urine tract and various other problems in the blood stream.
