How To Help With Nose Congestion

Helping with nose congestion naturally emphasizes clearing airways and reducing mucus through expert-backed methods. Steam inhalation with peppermint oil opens nasal passages, while saline rinses flush out irritants. Drinking warm fluids like chamomile tea keeps mucus thin, and a diet with omega-3s from flaxseeds reduces inflammation. Avoiding dairy and using a humidifier prevents mucus thickening. Elevating the head during sleep aids drainage, and gentle nasal massage may improve circulation. Consistent application of these remedies supports long-term relief, addressing the root causes of congestion without pharmaceuticals.

  • Use saline nasal spray or neti pot daily.
  • Inhale steam with peppermint oil for 10-15 minutes.
  • Drink chamomile tea 2-3 times daily.
  • Eat omega-3-rich foods like flaxseeds or walnuts.
  • Keep a humidifier running at night.
