Stuffy noses, often due to colds, allergies, or dry air, can be relieved through natural health practices that reduce mucus and inflammation. Hydration with warm fluids like herbal tea thins mucus, easing breathing. Steam inhalation from a bowl of hot water loosens congestion, while saline nasal rinses remove irritants. Spicy foods, such as ginger or garlic, stimulate nasal drainage. Elevating the head at night prevents mucus buildup. Warm compresses on the face reduce sinus pressure by improving circulation. These approaches support the body’s natural ability to clear airways without medication side effects.
