Getting rid of nose congestion naturally involves clearing airways, reducing inflammation, and thinning mucus. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil opens nasal passages, while saline rinses flush irritants. Warm fluids like peppermint tea keep mucus loose, and anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric reduce swelling. Elevating your head during sleep aids drainage, and a humidifier maintains airway moisture. These approaches enhance breathing, alleviate pressure, and support the body’s healing processes, providing effective relief without the side effects of decongestants.
- Inhale steam with eucalyptus or peppermint oil.
- Use a saline nasal spray or neti pot.
- Drink peppermint tea or warm broth.
- Eat turmeric or ginger for anti-inflammatory effects.
- Elevate head during sleep for better drainage.
