• Answer:

  you can: Flushing – Mixing a teaspoon of salt with warm water and placing a few drops, using an eyedropper a few drops in each nostril will help to irrigate the nasal passages in addition to cleaning out your nose. Another option would be to buy saline drops or saline nasal sprays at any your nearby pharmacy or retail store. We highly recommend saline nasal sprays because it is a natural and effective treatment and help by shrinking swollen tissue in the nose. Ginger Root – Chewing a small piece of ginger root has shown to increase circulation and reduce mucus in your nose. For best results it is recommended to repeat this 3 to 4 times a day for best results. Humidifiers – Dry environments irritate and clog up your nose. Sleeping with a humidifier in your room keeps the air moist which reduces dryness and irritation. The moist air also keeps the mucus in your nose thin, allowing it to discharge freely. Hydrate – Drinking lots of fluids helps by keeping the mucus thin and easy to go out of your nose which reduces the irritation in your nasal cavity, again aiding easy discharge. Garlic – Chewing a small piece of garlic is another natural remedy to stop runny nose. Garlic has the same effect as chewing ginger root, though it should be noted that garlic can cause a noticeable odor to mouth and skin if used excessively. Mustard Oil – Another natural treatments to stop a runny nose is to please a “single drop” of mustard oil with an eyedropper into each nostril, then allow it to settle by breathing naturally for a few minutes and repeats the process in the other side of the nostril.
