Fixing nasal congestion naturally targets mucus buildup and inflammation with proven home remedies. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil loosens mucus, while saline nasal irrigation clears blockages. Hydration with warm broths or herbal teas thins secretions, and a diet rich in zinc from pumpkin seeds strengthens immunity. Avoiding allergens like pet dander and keeping nasal passages moist with a humidifier prevents worsening. Elevating the head during sleep reduces pressure, and gentle nasal massage may improve airflow. These expert-recommended methods, when used consistently, address congestion effectively without medication dependency.
- Perform saline nasal irrigation 1-2 times daily.
- Inhale steam with eucalyptus oil for 10 minutes.
- Drink warm broths or herbal teas throughout the day.
- Eat zinc-rich foods like pumpkin seeds daily.
- Use a humidifier to keep air moist at night.
