Thanks Paul for providing a steam-inhaler contact for your side of the Atlantic. Not only is Italy inconvenient for US/Canada - the product I bought from Italy runs on European mains voltage ( of course ).
Just a little to add to my post... I have tried Flixonase, Nasonex etc and still really do prefer the steam inhaler.
Also, the real benefits of steam inhalation are to be seen by using a good quality inhaler for 30 minutes per session. The Virotherm that I keep 'singing praises' of has been described ( by an allergy specialist I know ) as the "Rolls Royce" of steam inhalers. A rough price guide is $250+ !!! - ( or whatever the exchange rate works out at ).
I have also tried the Vicks "Personal Inhaler". It helped, but was not even close to the relief I experience with the Virotherm.
I have no commercial interest in Virotherm. Honest !

> I too have had good results with a steam inhaler. The Canadian Voice Care Foundation sells them for $68 Cdn, 1-888-284-9590 for information.I ordered my own many years ago from a magazine advertisement by The Magellan Group in the U.S. They are/were a mail-order company, contact number (if they still exist) 800-279-2018.
