Tip 1: Nasal irrigation with saline (once in the morning and once at night)

This is the basic and most important step emphasized by doctors!

▪️ Effect: Washes away allergens and secretions from the nasal cavity, instantly clearing the airway.

▪️ Method: Use a dedicated nasal irrigator and saline solution, lean forward, instill from one nostril and let it flow out the other. It may feel unfamiliar at first, but after a few times it becomes really pleasant!

Tip 2: Steam to moisturize the nasal cavity (super comfortable before bedtime)

▪️ Effect: Moisturizes the nasal mucosa, relieves dryness and itching, and can also soften congested nasal mucus.

▪️ Method: Pour a cup of hot water and slowly inhale the steam through your nose for 5–10 minutes. Alternatively, take a hot shower—the steam in the bathroom is a natural soother! ♨️

Tip Three: Dietary regulation

▪️ Effect: Internal modulation reduces the body's inflammatory response, alleviating symptoms at their source.

▪️ Method: Eat more foods rich in Omega-3 (such as deep-sea fish) and vitamin C (such as oranges and kiwifruit). Strongly recommend "honey lemon water," brewed with warm water to soothe the throat and nasal passages! During this period, eat less spicy, stimulating foods and raw or cold seafood.

Tip Four: Improve the environment

▪️ Effect: Reducing contact with allergens is like cutting off their escape route!

▪️ Method:

Change bedding frequently: wash sheets and duvet covers weekly in hot water above 60°C to effectively remove dust mites.

Use a humidifier: keep indoor humidity at 50%–60% for much more comfortable nasal passages.

Change clothes when you get home: promptly change outerwear that has accumulated pollen and dust mites outside.

Tip Five: Nasal massage exercises (can be done anytime, anywhere)

▪️ Effect: Promotes blood circulation around the nasal cavity to quickly relieve nasal congestion.

▪️ Method: Use the index finger to massage the “Yingxiang” acupoints on both sides of the nasal bridge up and down until a slight warmth is felt. If the nose is severely blocked, pressing these points can really help clear it!

Key point‼️

These methods are only adjunctive relief. If symptoms are very severe and affect sleep and daily life, be sure to see a clinician in person — targeted medication will help you recover faster~
