New Delhi: The monsoon showers provide relief from the heat, but also bring many types of health problems with them. One of these common problems is closed nose, also known as ‘Nejal Convention’. The risk of allergies and infection increases due to moisture and changing temperatures, causing inflammation in the nasal blood vessels and causing difficulty in breathing. If you are also troubled by this problem, then these 5 home remedies suggested by an expert can give you immediate relief.
1. Taking steam (steam):
This is the oldest and effective way to open a closed nose. Take hot water in a vessel, cover the head with a towel and steam for 5-10 minutes. Hot steam loosens the mucus frozen inside the nose and reduces inflammation, which makes you easy to breathe. If you want, you can also add some mint leaves or eucalyptus oil to the water.
2. Keep yourself hydrated:
Although the monsoon may be less thirsty, it is very important to keep the body hydrated. Drink plenty of hot water, herbal tea or soup. Liquids help dilute the mucus, making it easily out and opens the nose.
3. Hot Sikai:
Soak a clean cloth in warm water and squeeze on your nose and forehead. This hot compress provides relief in sinus pain and reduces inflammation of the nose, which gives relief from the closed nose.
4. Gargle with salt water (saline gargle):
Gargling with half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of lukewarm water reduces the sore throat and swelling. This remedy also helps in cleaning the mucus in the back of the nose, which provides relief in the nasal congestion.
5. Sleep by keeping the head high:
Closed nose problem often increases while sleeping at night. To avoid this, sleep with an additional pillow under your head. Keeping the head high does not accumulate mucus in the nose and you are able to breathe comfortably.
By adopting these simple and effective home remedies, you can easily get rid of the problem of closed nose in the monsoon.
