Natural and home remedies for runny nose

By Lahari Basu

1

Drink hot liquids

Drinking hot liquids can soothe your nose and throat membranes and decongest the airways. It will also hydrate your body keeping viral infections at bay.

2

Take a herbal steam

Facial steam can help relieve your runny nose symptoms by loosening the mucus and helping it drain out easily. You can go for herbal steam using a herb called Mayani.

3

Warm compress

A warm compress can give you relief by boosting blood circulation in your sinus area. Soak a cotton cloth in hot water and place it across your forehead and nose.

4

Use neti pots

Neti pots have a spout that flushes out the nose and sinuses. Add saltwater solution to the pot and then pour the solution through one nostril, and release the water from the other.

5

Maintain a sleep routine

A runny nose gets worse at night as gravity causes the mucus to pool in the head. Put an extra pillow under your head & keep a cool-mist vaporizer nearby to breathe easily.
