Does anyone know of any good home remedies for Chest Congestion & Nasal Congestion?

Question

I would greatly try any and all at this moment!

Answer 1

The steam mentioned above is a good idea.  Hydrating yourself well is another.  Drink plenty of water, or try some hot mint tea.  The mint will help decongest you along with the steam.  Some people will use Eucalyptus essential oil in the room as well.  Just put a drop or two on a cotton ball and keep it near you, or put a drop in bathwater if you are taking a nice long hot bath.  There are also saline nose drops available at most drug stores.

For long term solutions, you may want to get a Neti pot and use it to flush out your nasal passages and sinuses.  They work great for allergies and colds and if used regularly, as a preventative for colds.  Most supermarkets and healthfood stores also carry a brand of tea called "Traditional Medicines" and they have Gypsy Cold Care and Breathe Easy which work really well.

I hope you feel better soon.

Answer 4

Sit in the bathroom with the shower on hot so it gets steamy. The steam breaks up the congestion. You can also put a towel over your face and stand above a pot of boiling water and absorb the steam that way.
