Gather ingredients and place in medium pot filled half way with water.

Step 2:
Bring water and ingredients to boil.

Drape a towel around bowl placing your face inside the towel (like a tent). Keep face inside towel for as long as you can tolerate (up to 10 min) and take deep breathes in through the nose and out through the mouth. Repeat until your headache and stress subsides.
