How To Treat Nasal Congestion

Nasal congestion, often caused by inflammation or excess mucus, can be alleviated through natural health practices that reduce swelling and promote drainage.

  • Steam inhalation with hot water to loosen mucus.
  • Saline nasal sprays to hydrate and clear nasal passages.
  • Hydration with water or herbal teas to thin mucus.
  • Elevating head during sleep to improve sinus drainage.
  • Using a humidifier to maintain moist air.
