Fixing a congested nose naturally involves techniques that clear mucus and reduce inflammation effectively. Steam inhalation with hot water and thyme oil loosens mucus, opening airways. Saline nasal sprays flush irritants, promoting clear breathing. Consuming foods high in vitamin C, like oranges, boosts immunity to fight congestion-causing infections. Gentle facial massages encourage sinus drainage, reducing pressure. Using a humidifier keeps nasal passages moist, aiding mucus flow. These evidence-based methods, rooted in physiology, clear nasal congestion without drugs, leveraging the body’s natural healing processes for rapid relief and improved respiratory comfort.
