Healing a stuffy nose naturally focuses on clearing blockages, reducing inflammation, and supporting sinus health. Steam inhalation with peppermint oil opens airways, while saline nasal rinses flush irritants. Drinking warm fluids like ginger tea thins mucus, and anti-inflammatory foods like garlic reduce swelling. Elevating your head during sleep aids drainage, and a humidifier maintains airway moisture. These approaches restore airflow, reduce pressure, and promote healing by leveraging the body’s natural mechanisms, providing effective relief without reliance on medications.
