Nasal Congestion also known as Stuffy Nose is a condition in which the nasal tissues swell due to an inflammation in the nasal membranes and due to this the nose becomes blocked. There can be a number of reasons that can result into blocking of the nasal passage - the most common ones among them are: Allergies, Pollutants, Bacterial or Viral Infections, Nasal Polypus etc.Nasal congestion is very similar to an uninvited and unpredictable guest, which comes anytime any season and has the only one motive i.e. to irritate you. But, there is no reason to worry, as in this article I am going to highlight some of the very powerful natural ingredients that can help you to relieve your blocked nose.1. Fluids: Fluids are your best friends, they maintain the quantity of water in your body and hence help in thinning the mucus. Fluids like soups, juices and non caffeinated beverages are the best among this category as apart from water they also replenish your body with other vital vitamins and minerals.2. Vitamin - C: According to researchers, Vitamin-C is one of the most powerful naturally existing anti-histamines. The role of an antihistamine is to block the supply of histamines. Histamines are the chemicals that are released by the human body during an allergic reaction. So, if the cause of your stuffy nose is allergy then Vitamin-C is the best cure for it.3. Hone and Lime: A luke warm mixture of honey and Lime can cure a blocked nose. To make this - Add two tablespoon honey and 5-6 drops of fresh lime juice in a glass of luke warm water. Drinking this solution at night-time can also cure night-time stuffiness.4. Steam Treatment: Steam treatment is one of the best ways to cure a blocked or runny nose. Steam gets mixed with the thick nasal mucus thereby thinning it. To use this method - Take a bowl of hot boiling water, keep your head over the bowl (but keep your face a safe distance from it). Cover your head and the bowl with a towel and inhale the steam for few minutes. Doing this will ease your congestion and will help you to feel better.5. Ginger: Chewing small pieces of raw ginger can also make you feel better. Ginger is a naturally existing decongestant which has the natural qualities of unclogging a plugged nose. Apart from this ginger also helps in maintaining a constant body temperature.
