Natural remedies for a congested nose focus on clearing mucus, reducing inflammation, and improving airflow without medications. Nasal irrigation with saline flushes irritants, while steam inhalation with peppermint oil opens airways. Hydration prevents mucus thickening, and elevating the head during sleep aids drainage. Avoiding allergens like dust and limiting dairy intake reduces congestion triggers, providing fast and lasting relief.
