Relieving nasal congestion naturally involves reducing inflammation and clearing mucus through targeted practices. Saline nasal irrigation flushes allergens and mucus, while steam inhalation with lavender oil calms irritated passages. Eating foods high in vitamin C, like bell peppers, boosts immunity to fight congestion-causing infections. Staying hydrated with warm fluids thins mucus, aiding drainage. Using a humidifier prevents dry nasal passages, which worsen symptoms. Avoiding sugary foods reduces inflammation. Gentle exercise, like walking, improves sinus circulation. These methods, grounded in biology, offer effective relief.
