Nose congestion, often from viral infections or allergens, can be managed naturally by promoting mucus clearance and reducing inflammation. Nasal irrigation with saline removes irritants, while steam inhalation with chamomile soothes inflamed tissues. Consuming garlic, rich in allicin, fights infections causing congestion. Warm compresses over sinuses improve blood flow, easing pressure. Staying hydrated with herbal teas thins mucus for easier expulsion. Avoiding cold air prevents nasal passage constriction. Regular handwashing reduces exposure to viruses. These evidence-based practices target root causes, offering relief without side effects.
