There are various ways to clear a stuffy nose. If your nose has been congested for more than 2 weeks, visit a doctor. Otherwise, these tips will help you breathe easier.
Steam
From a hot shower to a hot cup of tea, steam works wonders in thinning the stuffy nose. For faster relief, take boiling hot water in a bowl. Lean over it with a towel covering your head.
Nasal Wash
Using a Neti Pot or Nasal Irritation Kit softens out the mucus and relieves the stuffy nose. Neti Pot is available at any local drugstore.
Chicken Soup
Chicken Soup not only loses out the mucus, relieving out the stress.
Decongestants
When the blood vessels in our nose swell up, they make our nose stuffy. Decongestants help shrink your vessels and give your relief. Decongestant nasal sprays work the same way.
Peppermint
Peppermint and menthol are natural decongestants that work similarly. One can also drink peppermint tea. Drink a cup up to five times a day.
