Can't sleep because of nasal congestion? Please remember these four methods to clear your nose!

In the hot summer, the air conditioner is turned on every day, and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor becomes larger. Some people with weak immunity have symptoms of sneezing, runny nose, and long-term nasal congestion. Especially at night, the nasal congestion worsens, making it difficult to fall asleep~

But don’t worry, Qingbi Hall will give you four methods to clear your nose!

Qingbitang: Please remember these four methods to clear your nose!

1. Change the environment

When the nasal mucosa is stimulated by cold and dry air, it is easy to get a stuffy nose, so we can use air conditioning or humidifiers to appropriately increase the indoor temperature and humidity, which can help relieve nasal congestion. The appropriate room temperature is generally 18℃～21℃ (slightly higher in winter), and the humidity is preferably 40～60%.

If it is inconvenient to maintain room temperature, you can also apply a hot towel to the base of the nose, which can also help clear the nose. It is also effective for nasal congestion caused by colds and acute rhinitis.

2. Wash your nose

If the nasal congestion is caused by excessive secretions in the nasal cavity, nasal washing can effectively relieve this situation. However, there are a few precautions for nasal washing: First, you cannot use tap water or saline prepared by yourself, you must go to the pharmacy to buy normal saline; second, the water temperature must be kept at around 37°C, and too cold or too hot water will irritate the nasal mucosa.

3. Nose massage

Massage is a good way to promote nasal blood circulation and restore nasal mucosal function. Friends with nasal congestion may wish to do it every day. Long-term persistence will lead to improvement. The technique is: point Yingxiang 16 times, press Yintang for 2-3 minutes, rub Jingming for 2-3 minutes, and rub the nose 30 times.

4. Rhinitis fumigation prescription

When the nose is blocked, fumigation therapy can also help to clear the nose. It can effectively relieve the symptoms of nasal congestion, runny nose, etc. caused by various types of rhinitis, sinusitis and colds. It can also be used for daily conditioning of rhinitis and sinusitis to reduce and prevent attacks. It can be used by both adults and children.

Qingbi Hall kindly reminds you: If rhinitis is not cured for a long time, nasal congestion and insomnia will not only seriously affect sleep and growth, but also induce a variety of complications.
