I have a stuffed nosed, but not a runny nose. When I breathe, I can take in air from my nose slowly. But when I take in a quick deep breath, i can' t cause my noses is stuffed. Any suggestions on clearing my nasal passages. Please give me suggestions. Home-made remedies that work would be really nice.

You could try the steaming method, boil the kettle and get some red hot water and put it in a bowl, then lean over the bowl with a towel over your head breath it in. Make sure the towel is covering the bowel too so that the steam doesn't escape. You could add some Vicks or Olbas Oil to this.
I think fresh air helps most of the time though.

Go to drugstore and get saline spray from druggist (saltwater) it is called Ocean drops, or natural tears..just a little squeeze bottle..about a dollar or two. If this doesn't work try Sudafed tabs. Cheap and effective. Don't use anything like Vicks sinus spray they will only make it worse over time and then you will have a worse problem.

Boil a glass of water. Collect a towel to cover your head and the pot having hot water. Now mix a spoon ful of Vicks or some other medicine used for applying to head while have headache, to this hot water. Vapours will come up to your nose. Smell em upto your limit to intake air. Do this several times. You will feel great!

If you can handle it, you can pick up a natty pot at a health food store. It is a sinus cleansing system that works wonders! It's a little gross at first but worth the effort. Basically you flush your sinuses with water mixed with saline. You also might try some olive leaf extract in OJ.

The tissue lining your sinusses is swollen. I use an over the counter nasal spray containing 1 % xylometazoline hydrochloride. It works in seconds.

A Netti pot would work wonders. Best thing I've found that actually cures the problem instead of masking the symptoms.

vicks works the best for stuffy noses. I don't even put any on, I just sniff it out of the bottle. Plus, any hot liquids, and soup works well.

Inhale Olbas Oil in hot (not boiling) water under a towel.
