What are the benefits of hot compresses on the nose for nasal congestion?

In winter, the temperature is one factor, and the environment is another. Many people with rhinitis often experience discomfort in their noses at this time, such as runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, etc. In fact, there are two keys to protecting the nose in winter. One is moisturizing and the other is keeping warm. It is also necessary to reduce the irritation of cold air and pollutants to the nose. Therefore, applying a hot towel to the nose in the morning and evening can make the nasal cavity warm, humidify the nasal mucosa, and further promote the discharge of dirt in the nasal cavity, keeping the nasal cavity clean and hygienic. However, it should be noted that hot compress is only for simple rhinitis. Hot compress should not be used for hypertrophic rhinitis accompanied by symptoms such as nasal congestion and headache. Be careful that the more you apply hot compress, the more swollen your nose will become.

How to apply hot compress to the nose

1. If there is a foreign object in your nostrils or if you start to feel pain or rot when pinching your nose, do not put your fingers in to pick it, as this will cause the nasal inflammation to become more and more serious. If you encounter this situation, you should boil some water, find a clean towel, then put the towel into the hot water, take it out while it's still hot and wring it out (don't wring it dry, just enough to prevent it from dripping). Then cover your nose with a hot towel, or you can directly cover your nostrils and breathe, which will be more effective. Keep doing this for about ten minutes each time, until your nose feels soft and isn't so painful when you press it.

2. Apply hot compress three times a day, morning, noon and evening. Generally, simple rhinitis will be cured in 2-3 days. If it recurs, it can be cured after a few times.
