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.
