Is there any way to treat nasal congestion?

There are many reasons for nasal congestion, such as colds. Rhinitis is also an important cause of nasal congestion. When nasal congestion occurs, it often causes poor breathing and even causes brain hypoxia, leading to symptoms such as headaches. At this time, you can take some small folk remedies to relieve it, and the effect is very good. For example, loofah vines can relieve nasal congestion very well.

1. Luffa vines treat sinusitis

The method is: find several meters of old loofah vines, dry them in the sun, cut them into thin sections, and then bake them on tiles until they are half-burnt (be sure not to let them become burnt), then grind them into fine powder on a panel, and put them in a bottle for later use. When using, clean the mucus in the nasal cavity, wipe the nasal cavity with a clean cotton ball, then use a thin plastic tube (such as the small tube used for drinking yogurt), ask your family to help blow the loofah vine powder into the nasal cavity, and then plug the nostrils with a dry cotton ball. This method is best applied before going to bed at night. It can be cured after several days.

2. Cold water to treat rhinitis

Method: Do not use hot water to wash your face, use cold water. Use the palm of your hand to hold cold water from the tap, cover your nose with it, inhale the cold water into your nostrils, and then blow it out. Then hold hot water again and inhale it, and blow it out again. Repeat this several times every day.

3. Erythromycin tetracycline eye ointment can treat rhinitis

4. Washing the nose with salt water cured my rhinitis

Method: prepare saline solution (put two spoons of salt in a 100 ml bottle and dilute it with boiling water), use a toothpick to roll a cotton ball and dip it in the saline solution to wash your nostrils, then leave the cotton wool in the nostrils temporarily, then either tilt your head back or lie flat, press both sides of your nose with your index finger and thumb, and suck hard to allow the saline solution on the cotton ball to flow into the nasal cavity and then into the throat. At first you may feel an unbearable pungent sensation inside your nose, but you will get used to it after a few times. You can also start by washing with lighter saline and gradually increase the concentration to allow your nasal cavity to adapt slowly.
