Fixing a stuffy nose naturally involves practical remedies to clear mucus and reduce inflammation. Steam inhalation with tea tree oil loosens secretions, while saline nasal irrigation removes blockages. Hydrating with warm herbal teas like thyme tea keeps mucus thin, and a diet high in vitamin C from kiwis boosts immunity. Avoiding irritants like cigarette smoke and using a humidifier maintains nasal moisture. Elevating the head during sleep promotes drainage, and acupressure on sinus points may provide relief. These expert methods, applied consistently, alleviate stuffiness effectively without medication.

- Inhale steam with tea tree oil for 10 minutes.
- Drink thyme tea 2-3 times daily to thin mucus.
- Eat vitamin C-rich kiwis or strawberries daily.
