Natural treatments for a stuffed-up nose focus on clearing nasal passages, reducing inflammation, and promoting mucus drainage holistically. Hydration with warm fluids like ginger tea thins mucus, easing congestion. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil opens nasal passages and loosens mucus. Nasal irrigation with saline flushes out mucus and allergens, relieving pressure. Spicy foods, such as horseradish, stimulate mucus flow. Sleeping with the head elevated aids drainage. These methods enhance nasal breathing naturally, addressing stuffiness effectively without synthetic drugs, supporting respiratory health and comfort through targeted, non-invasive remedies.
