The best way to clear nasal congestion combines hydration, heat, and herbal remedies to reduce swelling and promote sinus drainage. Drinking warm fluids like herbal teas with nettle keeps mucus thin and supports immune function. A warm compress over the sinuses reduces inflammation and encourages mucus flow. Nasal saline sprays hydrate nasal passages, flushing allergens. Avoiding cold drinks prevents mucus thickening. Gentle facial massage stimulates sinus drainage, providing quick relief when consistently applied alongside hydration and heat-based methods.
