Nasal congestion can be relieved naturally by focusing on clearing mucus, reducing inflammation, and improving airflow through practical remedies. Nasal irrigation with saline flushes out mucus and irritants, providing quick relief. Steam inhalation with peppermint or eucalyptus oil opens nasal passages and loosens secretions. Staying hydrated with warm fluids like herbal teas thins mucus, aiding expulsion. Applying warm compresses over the sinuses reduces pressure and promotes drainage. Avoiding irritants like dust or strong odors prevents worsening congestion, while elevating the head during sleep enhances sinus drainage and nasal comfort.
