A stuffy nose can be cleared quickly with natural remedies that target mucus and inflammation. Steam inhalation with hot water and peppermint oil opens nasal passages, loosening mucus rapidly. Nasal irrigation with a saline solution flushes allergens, restoring airflow. Consuming spicy foods like chili peppers stimulates mucus flow, easing blockages. Staying hydrated with warm herbal teas thins secretions, aiding drainage. Sleeping with an elevated head promotes sinus drainage, reducing pressure. These physiologically sound methods leverage the body’s natural responses to clear a stuffy nose fast without medications, providing effective relief and comfort.
