Steam
The best way to reduce inflammation of the nasal passages, and prevent a super stuffy nose, is to keep them clear in the first place. One of the best things that can be used is steam, it’s an old cold remedy that actually works! Inhaling steam or humidified air can help to clear congestion, improve breathing and kill the cold virus.
The easiest way to get steamy is to have a hot shower. Another thing you could try is to pour some boiling water into a bowl, and, while covering your head with a towel, inhale the steam as the water evaporates. For added relief, try adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil to the water.
Another thing to try, if you have one available to you at your gym or home, is to sit in a hot tub, sauna or steam room. This is also an excellent way to combat a cold virus as increasing your body temperature will also help fight the virus.
