Natural remedies for a blocked nose at night target mucus buildup and inflammation to improve breathing and sleep. Nasal irrigation with saline clears irritants, while steam inhalation with peppermint oil opens airways. Hydration thins mucus, and elevating the head during sleep promotes drainage. Avoiding allergens like dust mites and limiting dairy reduces congestion for better nighttime relief.
- Use a neti pot with saline to flush nasal passages.
- Inhale steam with peppermint oil to loosen congestion.
- Drink warm fluids to keep mucus thin.
- Elevate head with pillows to aid drainage.
- Avoid dairy to minimize mucus production.
