Tips on clearing a stuffy nose

Tips

 * Use steam, that will definitely help you. Do not rub your nose with a handkerchief, use a tissue.
 * If just one side of your nose is clogged, lay on the opposite side of your body and the nostrils may drain.
 * Use a vapor rub to melt away the mucus.
 * Rub along the side of your nose starting at your eyes and slowly move down to where your nose's bone ends. Once you’ve done this multiple times, blow your nose to get rid of all of the mucus that you’ve pulled down.
 * Get a bowl of boiling water and make a tent with a towel over the bowl and your head, allow steam to enter the nasal passage. This is unblock stuffy noses.
 * A Helpful Pressure Point: place your middle finger on the bridge of your nose. Go upwards until you feel a dent/ the bridge of the nose starts going in. This is usually between the eyes, and sometimes higher. Press for 45 seconds, and you should feel your nasal passages starting to clear up.
 * Cough drops may be helpful in releasing the mucus in your nose. It's best to use one with menthol or eucalyptus.
 * Rub gently, with one or both hands, on the sides of your nose, starting at the bridge in between your eyes, rubbing gently on both sides in a circular motion down until right before you hit your nostrils. Repeat a few times (will depend on the severity of the stuffy nose). The mucus will begin to drip out. Lean over the sink and run hot water as you do this. Another helpful tip would be to do this after putting a warm compress over your nose, making sure you keep your nostrils uncovered.
 * Get a pillow that allows you to comfortably sleep/rest and make sure it is soft/firm enough so that you are able to sleep with it.
 * Try having some fresh air. As long as you don't have hay fever, this can sometimes make you feel better.
 * If you use a chest rub, put a heating pad or warm compress on your chest. It helps get the vapor up to your nose.
 * Rub coconut oil underneath your irritated nose, it will moisturize dry skin and irritation from blowing your nose as well as being a disinfectant/antimicrobial.
 * Before going to bed, use a humidifier. If you can, find a scent like lavender or something citrus.
 * Chew on a strong mint or gum as the mint can clear your sinuses to make it easier for you to breathe and can clear most of the inflammation up.
 * Make sure to get enough sleep as, not having enough sleep can make your blocked nose and cold worse.
 * Add menthol crystals to boiling water and inhale. Be careful, it's very strong. Alternatively, leave the bowl nearby.
 * When making your own saline solution, make sure to use distilled water to prevent any possible nasal irritation due to foreign substances in the water such as bacteria and/or chlorine. If you must use tap water you should first boil then cool that water before making the saline solution. Using a salt without iodine is a good idea also to keep the possibilities of extra inflammation and irritation down to a minimum.
 * Use menthol and eucalyptus bath salt in a sink or bowl of steaming hot water. Put a towel over your head and around the sink/bowl edge. Breathe in until the temperature drops. Just like a sauna for your head!
 * Put an ice bag right under your nose as you breath. It will feel better, and after awhile, it'll clear up.
 * By using nasal spray, you can severely reduce how blocked your nasal cavities are.
 * Use aloe Viagra lotion and rub above top of nose down slowly.
