Head congestion, often caused by sinus inflammation or colds, can be relieved naturally by reducing pressure and clearing mucus. Hydration with warm fluids like broth thins mucus, aiding its expulsion. Steam inhalation from a hot shower loosens congestion, while saline nasal rinses flush irritants. Spicy foods, such as wasabi, stimulate mucus flow. Warm compresses on the forehead and sinuses reduce pressure by improving circulation. Elevating the head during rest prevents mucus buildup. These remedies support the body’s natural ability to clear head congestion without the side effects of medications.
