Getting rid of nasal congestion naturally focuses on clearing airways and reducing inflammation with expert remedies. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil thins mucus, while saline nasal rinses flush out allergens. Drinking warm fluids like ginger tea promotes mucus flow, and a diet rich in zinc from sunflower seeds supports immunity. Avoiding dairy and using a humidifier prevents mucus buildup. Elevating the head during sleep aids drainage, and gentle nasal massage improves airflow. Consistent use of these methods, grounded in expert knowledge, provides effective relief without medication reliance.
