how do you clear a stuffy nose - without medication?

Answer 1

This might sound wild but...try blowing it into a tissue!
Just may be crazy enough to work!

Answer 2

Okay this might sound gross but go to a health food store or the internet and look for what is called a Neti pot. It looks a little like an Aladdin's lamp. You fill the pot with a warm saline solution and run it through your nostrils. Instructions will come with how to do this. It sounds gross but is really easy to do and your head will become so clear you will wish you had known about it for years. It is Indian/Chinese cure and works wonders. I was grossed out at first until I tried it. The neti pot clears all allergins out of your nasal passages and gives long term relief.

Answer 3

Netti pots are wonderful. You should look into it. It sounds hard at first and i was weirded out...but trust me it does wonders. Also try diffusing ecualptus oil in a oil diffuser..or makig a spray of 20 drps E.oil to 4 ozs of water and spray in the air around you and inhale. I also put a few drops in a bath and lounge ( liek the baby baths they make for this but natural) Also try asking your local health food store what their remedies are. I will not use medication unless I have too and in 3 years I haven't had too once. Herbal and all natural is the only way to go

Answer 4

Here in Australia we have a product call Karvol its a liquid capsule that you can break open and put in a bowl of boiling water.... u then put your head over it cover with a tea towl and inhale the steam ...this will open your nasal passages and clear them out! If you do not have this product any camphor or vick product with do ....good luck!!!
Note Karvol can be use on kids as young as 4 weeks old....just a few drops on their clothes can help them too when they are stuffed up with the flu
Best of luck

Answer 5

Those Nose Strips work great!

I used them all during my pregnancy without medication.

If you have rebound stuffiness you will need something like a prednisone spray to fix that.

Answer 6

Try wasabi, that will clear a stuffy nose

Answer 7

You can't! No matter how hard you blow your nose, you just can't clear it without medication. Seems to me like you have allergies or a cold. Talk to your doctor as soon as possible to get treated.

Answer 8

Try steam inhalation. Use a facial sauna . If yiu do not have one yhen boil some water in a pan add and enhale the vapour cover your head and the pan with a towel while doing this.

Answer 9

Eat really hot spicy foods. A teaspoonful of tobasco sauce always clears my nose and sinuses in a jiffy.

Answer 10

I drink lots and lots of water and usually within a half hour or so, I can clear my nose.

I've never tried Wasabe for this purpose but it might be worth a try. :)

Answer 11

My granddaughter mist her children's bedroom with Menthol Camphor Breathe Easy Relief Mist from www.watkinsonline.com/gglass
It's great for any room, especially during the cold season.
