Relieving congestion naturally targets mucus buildup, inflammation, and sinus pressure. Steam inhalation with peppermint oil clears airways, while saline nasal rinses remove irritants. Warm fluids like ginger tea thin mucus, and anti-inflammatory foods like garlic reduce swelling. A humidifier keeps nasal passages moist, and elevating your head at night promotes drainage. These methods improve airflow, reduce discomfort, and support the body’s healing, offering a safe and effective alternative to medications with a focus on holistic recovery.
