Treating nasal congestion naturally focuses on clearing airways and reducing inflammation with proven methods. Saline nasal irrigation flushes mucus and allergens, while steam inhalation with lavender oil soothes passages. Consuming spicy foods, like horseradish, triggers sinus drainage. Staying hydrated with warm broths thins mucus, aiding expulsion. Using a humidifier keeps nasal passages moist, preventing worsening symptoms. Avoiding sugary foods reduces inflammation. Gentle facial massage promotes sinus circulation. These practices, based on physiological benefits, provide relief without drugs.
