Nose congestion can be cleared quickly with natural health practices that target inflammation and mucus. Steam inhalation with peppermint oil opens nasal passages, while saline rinses flush out allergens. Drinking warm fluids like turmeric tea thins mucus, and anti-inflammatory foods like garlic reduce swelling. Elevating your head during sleep improves drainage, and a humidifier keeps airways moist. These methods enhance airflow, reduce pressure, and promote rapid recovery by leveraging the body’s natural defenses without the need for pharmaceutical interventions.
