1. Massage the point between the eyebrows.

This massage affects the nasal mucosa.

1. Massage the point between the eyebrows.

Make circular motions in the area of the wings of the nose for 1-2 minutes with your index and middle fingers, pressing gently. This procedure will help open your nasal passages and blow your nose much easier.

3. Massage the point between the nose and lip.

Massage the point between the upper lip and nose with light movements for 2-3 minutes. This trick will help remove swelling in your nose.

4. Use a humidifier.

When the humidity is less than 40%, the mucus in the nose dries out and interferes with free breathing. If there is already too much mucus and the humidity is low, severe bacterial complications can develop. The optimum moisture content is 40% to 60%.

5. Warm the bridge of the nose.

Take a warm piece of cloth (you can warm it up in the microwave or put it in hot water and wring it out gently). The compress should not be too hot, just at a comfortable temperature. The heat will make any mucus thinner. After rewarming, blow your nose or rinse your nose with saline.

6. If allergies are causing a runny nose, exercise.

When your heartbeat is fast enough and your body warms up, it is good for thinning the mucus in your nose, and it will be much easier for you to blow your nose. 15 minutes of physical activity will be enough to deal with allergic rhinitis (if you avoid allergens).
