How To Relieve A Congested Ear

Relieving a congested ear naturally focuses on reducing inflammation and clearing Eustachian tubes with hydration and herbal support. Warm fluids like ginger tea thin mucus, while steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil opens airways. Anti-inflammatory foods like garlic and gentle ear massages promote drainage. Avoiding dairy reduces mucus buildup.

  • Drink warm ginger tea to thin mucus.
  • Inhale steam with eucalyptus oil for airway relief.
  • Eat garlic for anti-inflammatory effects.
  • Apply a warm compress to encourage drainage.
  • Avoid dairy to minimize mucus.
