If your nose is blocked, another easy solution is to take a hot shower. As with a humidifier, hot shower water will thin the mucus. It will be easier for you to blow your nose and clear your nose. You can also fill the sink with very hot water and breathe in the water vapors that emerge from it ... or have a hammam!

They will clear your airways immediately and you will regain the pleasure of breathing normally. Check out the recipe here.

11. Onions

If you've ever peeled an onion, you know it makes you cry! And that's pretty good, because crying stresses the sinuses and causes the production of very liquid mucus. Perfect for clearing your nose! You just need to breathe an onion cut in half to clear the airways. Find out how to do it here.

If you have a stuffy nose at night, this is not the best place to sleep. Fortunately, onion can be of great help in clearing your nose, even at night. Just leave a cup of chopped onions on your nightstand, as explained here. The scent of onions will unblock your nose and you can sleep peacefully.

12. Mint

Breathing in crushed mint leaves also helps thin the mucus. It works the same way as with the half onion. The scent of mint causes the production of liquid mucus. Since the mucus is more liquid, it is easier to remove it by blowing your nose.

To achieve this result, take the mint leaves in your hands and crush them by rubbing your hands together. Then cup your hands and bring them closer to your nose. Take a deep breath to breathe in the scent of mint.

13. Cardamom

Same cause, same effect. The scent of crushed cardamom induces an overproduction of liquid mucus. As a result, the mucus drains more easily and clears the nose. Easy, fast and natural!

14. Inhalation with garlic + white vinegar

A cold or an allergy ... and it always ends the same: with a stuffy nose. Like white vinegar, garlic is a powerful remedy for clearing the nose. So imagine if you combine the two! You get a radical remedy to unblock your nose and finally breathe normally. To do this, just crush garlic cloves in a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of boiling water. With a towel over your head and with your eyes closed, take inhalations of this decoction twice a day. You will see it is super efficient. Check out this remedy here.

When your nose is stuffy and stuffy, this homemade decongestant works wonders. This 100% natural recipe is super easy to make. And it combines the properties of honey, lemon, cayenne pepper and ginger. Hence its effectiveness! Check out the recipe here.

16. Humidifier

If you live in a dry environment, it's normal to have a stuffy nose, even if you don't have a cold. In this case, the best solution is to install a humidifier at home. Not only will you get rid of your stuffy nose problem, but you will also prevent it from happening again.

On the other hand, if you live in a humid environment, you can also have problems with a blocked nose, especially because of mold. So get a dehumidifier. You can even make it yourself. Find out how to do it here.

Remember that the ideal humidity level is between 35% to 45%. To find out what the humidity level is in your home, get a hygrometer like this one.

17. Water vapor

Fill a bowl with boiling water and place your face above the vapors. Check that the steam is not too hot so as not to burn yourself and remember to close your eyes to protect them. Put a towel over your head and breathe in deeply through your nose. The water vapor will moisten the mucus and liquefy it. And the breathing will become easier. This natural treatment works if you have a stuffy nose from a cold or because you live in an environment where the air is too dry.

18. Shea butter + camphor oil

This remedy allows you to breathe normally again in less than 5 minutes! Take some shea butter and mix it with a drop of camphor oil. Place your homemade ointment under your nose and inhale deeply. Camphor oil is easy to make: you have to mix 2 ml of camphor essential oil with 60 ml of sweet almond oil. If you don't have camphor essential oil, replace it with eucalyptus essential oil.

19. Hot mustard, Cayenne pepper or Wasabi

It is no coincidence that we say "mustard comes to my nose"! Eating a spicy food, such as mustard, Cayenne pepper or Wasabi, helps clear your nose very quickly. Usually it stings and brings tears to my eyes. And as we have seen with onions, crying acts on the sinuses and helps the mucus to liquefy.

20. Mustard poultice

If you don't feel like eating mustard to clear your nose, you can also make a mustard poultice that you apply to your chest. To decongest the nose and the bronchi, it is very effective. Find out how to do it here.

21. Camphor inhalation

Camphor looks like a small white crystal. It is a decongestant, a disinfectant and an anti-inflammatory recognized for its effectiveness. Its strong and pungent odor is characteristic. To make an inhalation, it is necessary to crumble a very small piece of it in a bowl filled with boiling water. It is not always easy to find pure camphor. If you have difficulty obtaining it, replace it with essential oil of rosemary with camphor. You just need to put 2 drops in the bowl of very hot water. The result will be just as effective.

22. Inhalation with essential oil of lavender, eucalyptus and niaouli

Here is the winning trio to finally breathe properly! The combination of these 3 essential oils is very effective in decongesting the nose. Pour 2 drops of organic lavender essential oil, 2 drops of eucalyptus essential oil and 1 drop of niaouli essential oil in a bowl. Pour hot water over it and in 5 minutes of inhalation, you're done. Your nose is clear!

23. Sea water spray

Seawater sprays can be of great help in removing dust and bacteria that have gotten into the nose. They make it possible to moisten the nose and to find a healthy flora.

Pour 3 to 4 drops of peppermint essential oil in a bowl of very hot water. Lean over the bowl with a towel over your head and breathe in the scent. The strong and fresh smell of mint will clear your nose very quickly.

25. Rhino Horn

Do you know the Neti pot? It is a small pot, ceramic or plastic, with a suitable spout that irrigates the sinuses. It allows lukewarm, salted water to be poured into a nostril. Water rises in the nasal cavity and flows out through the other nostril. The mucus and bacteria that clog the sinuses are thus expelled. The Rhino Horn works on the same principle as the Neti pot but we add water mixed with non-iodized salt to wash the nose. Find out how to do it here.

26. Do push-ups

This is undoubtedly the most surprising way to unblock your nose. To breathe better, do push-ups, it works! And not only do you unblock your nose, but you also play sports. Find out how to do it here.

Precautions

Warning, camphor and essential oil of camphorated rosemary are prohibited for pregnant and breastfeeding women, children under 8 years old and people prone to epileptic seizures.

Inhalations are super effective forclear your nose but you should not neglect certain precautions. Always wait 1 to 2 minutes after boiling your water before starting your inhalation. This will prevent you from burning your airways. When you lean over the bowl of very hot water, close your eyes well so that they are not irritated during inhalation.

Be careful not to burn yourself during inhalation, especially if you sneeze on your boiling water! One inhalation lasts about 5 min. And know that it is recommended not to do more than 2 inhalations per day.

And once you've done an inhalation, stay nice and warm for at least 1 hour. Why ? Because the mucous membranes are dilated after inhalation and they are more sensitive to cold and germs.

And remember that inhalations should not be performed on children under 6 years old.

How to give a nasal injection?

Why does the nose get blocked?

More than a hundred viruses can cause a cold. In other words, there is every chance that we will catch a cold several times a year.

In this case, the mucous membranes of the nose react to the virus by thickening. They congest and swell. As a result, the nose becomes blocked.
