Another good idea is to use a humidifier to increase moisture levels in the air.^{[3]

If you have a small heater turn this on before you turn on the water that way its easier to make the room steamy. But remember to keep the heater AWAY from water!!

This is good to do if you have a child or someone with asthma and they can't get to their medication. The steam will help them breathe easier, though it should only be considered a stand-in; find that medicine and get them the care they need.

This is really bad for the paint work in your bathroom. If you only have a partially tiled bathroom with painted ceilings and walls then this is not a good idea.

This will create mold if the walls and windows stay damp.

Listen to your body—excessive heat and humidity can be dangerous. Take breaks and stay hydrated as needed.^{[4]
