The best way to get rid of nasal congestion focuses on reducing nasal swelling and enhancing mucus clearance through natural means. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil relaxes nasal tissues and thins mucus. Saline nasal rinses remove irritants and hydrate the nasal lining. Consuming spicy foods like cayenne pepper stimulates sinus drainage. Keeping the bedroom humid with a humidifier prevents nasal drying. Elevating the head during sleep aids gravity-assisted drainage, combining effectively with other methods for rapid congestion relief.
