Clearing nasal congestion quickly can be achieved with natural methods that reduce mucus and inflammation. Nasal irrigation with a saline solution flushes allergens and mucus, restoring airflow. Steam inhalation with hot water opens nasal passages, loosening secretions. Eating spicy foods like cayenne pepper stimulates mucus flow, easing blockages. Staying hydrated with warm teas thins mucus, aiding drainage. Elevating the head during sleep promotes sinus drainage, reducing pressure. These biologically grounded techniques leverage the body’s natural responses to clear nasal congestion efficiently without medications, providing rapid relief and improved breathing comfort.
