Relieving nasal congestion naturally focuses on reducing nasal passage inflammation and clearing mucus blockages. Steam inhalation hydrates dry tissues, loosening mucus for easier expulsion. Saline nasal sprays flush irritants, soothing swollen membranes. Hydration thins mucus, aiding drainage. Spicy foods like cayenne trigger mucus flow, opening airways. Elevating the head during sleep prevents mucus pooling. Avoiding irritants like smoke reduces inflammation. These evidence-based methods, supported by clinical studies, promote airflow and comfort without drugs.
