Home Remedies for a Stuffy Nose.

Apple Cider Vinegar :- One of the best remedies for a stuffy nose is apple cider vinegar.
First of all, its high potassium content helps thin the mucus. Plus, the acetic acid in it prevents bacterial growth and speeds up the healing process.

Mix 2 tablespoons of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of raw honey in a cup of warm water. Drink this tonic twice daily.
Mix together ½ cup each of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove it from the stove. Put a towel over your head and inhale the steam for 3 to 5 minutes with your mouth and eyes closed. Repeat a few times a day.

Steam Inhalation :- Whether it is plain steam inhalation or infused with herbs or essential oils, it is a highly effective remedy for instant relief from a stuffy nose.
Steam inhalation works as a natural expectorant to clear the blockage. It will also bring relief to the inflamed blood vessels in the sinuses by keeping them moist.

Fill a pan with water, heat it until it boils and then turn the heat off.
Optionally, add a few drops of peppermint or eucalyptus essential oil to the hot water
Put a towel over your head and lean over the pan so that no steam escapes.
Slowly breathe in and out, inhaling the steam for a few minutes.
Do this 2 to 4 times a day.

Nasal Irrigation :- Though not the most preferred remedy, nasal irrigation is very effective at treating a stuffy nose and nasal congestion.
Mix 3 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
Place the mixture in an airtight container for storing.
Add 1 teaspoon of this mixture to 1 cup of lukewarm boiled or distilled water.
Fill a bulb syringe with this solution.
Lean your head over a basin and gently squirt the solution into one nostril, while keeping the other one closed by applying light pressure with your finger.
Allow the water to drain from the other nostril by releasing the finger pressure.
Repeat the process with the other nostril.
Use this remedy once or twice daily.
