Nasal congestion can be cleared naturally by targeting mucus buildup and inflammation with evidence-based remedies. Steam inhalation with hot water and eucalyptus oil loosens mucus, opening airways. Saline nasal sprays hydrate and flush irritants, reducing blockages. Consuming foods high in vitamin C, like kiwi or strawberries, boosts immunity to fight infections causing congestion. Gentle facial massages around the sinuses encourage drainage. Keeping indoor air moist with a humidifier prevents nasal drying, aiding mucus flow. These methods, grounded in physiology, promote clear breathing without medications, leveraging the body’s natural healing processes for effective relief.
