Publish Date： 2024/7/8
Nasal congestion, a common small annoyance in life, may seem insignificant, but it truly affects our quality of life. Whether caused by a cold, rhinitis, or other issues, nasal congestion can result in difficulty breathing and, in severe cases, even affect sleep and work. So, what tricks can effectively relieve nasal congestion?
Method 1: Thermal therapy
Nasal congestion is usually caused by irritation of the mucous membrane in the nasal cavity, leading to swelling and narrowing of the airway. The principle of thermal therapy is to promote blood circulation in the nasal cavity, help reduce mucosal swelling, expand the gaps in the nasal cavity, and alleviate nasal congestion symptoms. So, we can use hot towels to apply to the nose or steam fumigation, but when using thermal therapy, we should pay attention to controlling the temperature to avoid skin burns caused by overheating.
Method 2: Massage technique
Massage can directly act on the skin and mucous membranes around the nasal cavity. By massaging specific acupoints around the nasal cavity (such as Yingxiang, Hegu, Yintang, Fengchi, etc.), it can promote local blood circulation, unblock meridians, and alleviate nasal congestion. It should be noted that massage should be performed under the guidance of professional traditional Chinese medicine to ensure accurate acupoints, moderate massage intensity, and avoid side effects caused by improper operation.
Method 3: Wash the nose
Saltwater nasal washing is a safe and effective method for cleaning the nasal cavity. Rinsing the nasal cavity with physiological saline can effectively remove harmful substances such as allergens, bacteria, viruses, etc. from the nasal cavity, improve nasal ventilation, and prevent nasal diseases such as colds and sinusitis. When using physiological saline to rinse the nose, please follow the correct operating method. If the symptoms continue to worsen or are accompanied by other discomforts, seek medical attention promptly.
