Natural ways to unclog a stuffy nose

Home remedies such as steam inhalation and eating hot soups that have natural decongestants like ginger and peppermint accompanied by adequate rest can help with the stuffiness one experiences when having the common cold.

It begins with a sore or itchy throat, a mild headache, constant sneezing, achy joints and muscles, and a feeling of being unwell. Before you know it, you have a cold and just as annoying as a runny nose is a stuffy one, because it makes your head feel heavy and breathing difficult. 

“While most people think it is due to an excess production of mucus, a blocked nose, or nasal congestion, is your immune system’s response to the presence of the cold virus in your nasal lining,” according to Paulo Angelo D.C. Catindig, MD, an otorhinolaryngologist of top hospital in the Philippines, Makati Medical Center (MakatiMed). 

“As the immune system releases white blood cells to fight the infection, the blood vessels in your nasal passages become inflamed and swell. This narrows the airways, leaving little room for air and mucus to pass through. This results in the stuffiness you experience.” 

A common cold lasts between 7 and 10 days; till then, there is no need to suffer through the stuffiness. “Nonprescription decongestants (in pill, syrup, and nasal spray form) work by shrinking swollen vessels in your nasal passages,” says the MakatiMed doctor. “Look for ingredients like phenylephrine or pseudoephedrine but take them only as prescribed in the package or by your doctor.” 

A number of home remedies have also been known to help clear clogged nasal passages and make you breathe better: 

Nasal inhalers, like the popular Hong Thai and Vicks, combine ingredients like camphor, menthol, and natural herbs that provide a refreshingly cool sensation when inhaled through each nostril. “It does not unclog the nose but rather gives a quick, temporary relief from the stuffiness,” explains Dr. Catindig. 

Steam inhalation involves pouring boiled water into a large bowl, placing the bowl on a steady, flat surface, and leaning over the bowl while draping a large towel or blanket over the back of your head to trap the rising moisture. “Keep your eyes closed and your face about 12 inches away from the boiling water,” advises Dr. Catindig. “Inhale slowly through your nose. The steam softens and loosens thick, trapped mucus, allowing you to breathe better.” Again, this does not cure the underlying cause of your cold, but it does relieve you of the congestion, albeit temporarily. 

Food is also an effective way to address nasal congestion. “Hot soups and broths soothe a sore throat, and the steam can unclog a stuffy nose,” points out Dr. Catindig. “Add a bit of spice to the soup, as they help thin mucus, lessen nasal swelling, and stimulate sinus drainage.” The steam from hot tea has the same effect; choose flavors with peppermint and ginger, which act as a natural decongestant.  

Getting adequate rest can hasten recovery from a cold and the stuffy feeling that comes with it. “Remember, this is just temporary,” says Dr. Catindig. “With these home remedies and a few days at home, you will be breathing better in no time. See your doctor if your cold does not improve after 10 days and if it comes with symptoms like a fever, a persistent sore throat, pain in the ear, and difficulty breathing.”

Lenovo & Motorola Qira Expands Its Reach Across Devices, Apps and Markets

 

Since the initial rollout earlier this year, Lenovo has brought Lenovo & Motorola Qira to more than 80 supported PC configurations across its commercial and consumer portfolios, as well as select tablets and Motorola smartphones. Lenovo & Motorola Qira currently supports six languages, with more coming. Lenovo plans to expand the experience to additional device families and form factors by the end of 2026.

One Personal AI Across More Devices

Lenovo & Motorola Qira is built with the insight that people rarely spend their day on a single device. An idea captured on a tablet may need to be continued later on a PC, while messages, notifications and meeting details can become scattered throughout the day. By bringing prioritized notification summaries and cross-device knowledge into one interface, Lenovo & Motorola Qira helps users catch up on what they missed, recall what matters and continue where they left off with less switching between apps and devices.

Support for eligible Lenovo PCs with 16GB of memory broadens access beyond higher-memory configurations, while continued local model optimization strengthens the on-device AI foundation behind Lenovo & Motorola Qira. Eligible users can download Lenovo Qira from the Lenovo website. Lenovo Qira will come preloaded on supported Lenovo devices at a later date.

Lenovo & Motorola Qira will soon expand to eligible Motorola devices as they receive the Android 17 upgrade. The rollout will take place gradually, with timing varying by device and market. On supported Motorola smartphones currently featuring moto ai and tablets currently featuring AI Now, the Android 17 upgrade will introduce Motorola Qira, bringing Motorola users a new generation of AI.

Motorola Qira will be integrated into the moto watch ultra, the first wearable on which it will be available.  Users will be able to raise their wrist or say "Hey Qira" to ask general questions or get information using Lenovo & Motorola Qira’s cross-device knowledge. 

“Personal AI should not be another app waiting for a prompt,” said Dan Dery, Vice President of AI Ecosystem, Lenovo. “It should understand what matters to you, move with you across devices and help orchestrate next steps across the agents, applications and services you choose. With this next evolution of Lenovo & Motorola Qira, we are bringing that vision closer to reality through intelligence that is built into the device, designed around the individual and developed with privacy, choice and control at its core.”

Expanding Across Everyday Apps and Services

Moving from intent to action often requires users to search across email, calendars and collaboration tools. Through Lenovo’s new collaboration with Workato, Lenovo & Motorola Qira can connect with select applications and services on supported devices, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Slack, Outlook Mail and Outlook Calendar, to help users find relevant information and complete actions.

This creates a more direct path from asking to doing while maintaining user permission and control. If a calendar event changes or an important update arrives in an email or group chat, users will not need to dig through separate apps to find it. They can instead use Catch Me Up and take action from the same interface.

Lenovo is also collaborating with Notion and expanding Lenovo & Motorola Qira’s Perplexity integration, so users can keep making progress in the things that matter to them like moodboards, documents, and research – without switching apps or devices. 

Users will be able to connect their Notion account to Lenovo & Motorola Qira so that they can edit and pull up information from their projects, right from Lenovo & Motorola Qira. With Lenovo & Motorola Qira’s expanded Perplexity integration, users will be able to do more deep research, including often getting visual references for their interests and goals. 

Privacy, security and user control are foundational to Lenovo & Motorola Qira. Its hybrid, local-first architecture prioritizes on-device processing where supported, with information that is added to a user’s personal knowledge base encrypted and stored locally. When cloud processing is needed for a requested experience, Lenovo & Motorola Qira sends only the prompt and relevant context required for that request through secure, encrypted cloud services. 

Availability

The availability, timing and experience of the features showcased at IFA and described above may vary by device, market, configuration and platform. Some features may require software updates, user permission, supported applications or services, account sign-in, internet connectivity, or specific hardware and software configurations. App integrations and connected app functionality may vary by market, service and account type.
