Clogged nose can be addressed naturally with methods that clear mucus, reduce inflammation, and improve airflow without medications. Nasal irrigation with a saline solution 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 smoke or strong perfumes prevents worsening congestion, while elevating the head during sleep enhances sinus drainage and nasal comfort.
