eat a lot of  chili

Answer 2

A neti pot, vapor rub, or, if you have a cold, Zicam is expensive, but it works well!  Use throat lozenges with it though, 'cause you'll have drainage, and you know how hard that can make singing.

Answer 3

HI, I agree with James Dean! Chillies the best way to get your stuffy nose unblocked. So eat hot ethnic food like Thai, or mexican, even a hot indian would do. However if you cannot tolerate hot stuff, get essential oils, Basil, Eucalyptus and Peppermint, hold the 3 bottles open together, and sniff them very hard, in a long, steady sniff. It should help within minutes. I used to do this with people when I was working with essential oils, I had a person who always had stuffy nose, she sniffed the bottles, and within a couple of minutes she was OK. It does not keep forever though, if there is an underlying cause (narrow air passages) but if it is a seasonal thing, or a cold related issue, it should be helpful.
