What Are the Best Indian Home Remedies for Runny Nose and Sneezing That Work Fast? - #12446

Anonymously

For the past week, I’ve been dealing with a constant runny nose and sneezing. It started as mild irritation, but now it has become really frustrating. Every morning, as soon as I wake up, I start sneezing 6–7 times in a row, and my nose just keeps dripping. I don’t have a fever, so I’m not sure if it’s a viral cold, an allergy, or some other issue. I want to avoid taking antihistamines because they make me feel drowsy all day. That’s why I started looking for Indian home remedies for runny nose and sneezing. I know Ayurveda and traditional Indian medicine have many natural solutions, but I’m confused about which ones actually work. I have heard that ginger tea with honey and black pepper helps, but does it work instantly? Some people suggest chewing raw tulsi leaves or drinking turmeric milk before bed. I also came across a remedy where you mix carom seeds (ajwain) and garlic, heat them, and inhale the vapors. Has anyone tried this? Does it help with chronic sneezing and mucus buildup? Another thing I’m wondering about is whether my diet is making the problem worse. Should I stop eating dairy products like milk, yogurt, and cheese? I read that cold and sour foods increase mucus. Also, does sleeping with a warm towel on my chest help reduce symptoms? If anyone has personally tried Indian home remedies for runny nose and sneezing, please share what worked for you. Which remedy gave you the fastest relief? Are there any lesser-known traditional methods that work better than common herbal teas?

For chronic sneezing and a runny nose, Ayurveda recommends focusing on balancing the doshas, especially Kapha, which is linked to mucus production. Ginger tea with honey and black pepper is indeed effective in alleviating nasal congestion and clearing mucus due to its warming properties. Drinking turmeric milk before bed can also help reduce inflammation and strengthen immunity. Chewing raw tulsi leaves works as a powerful expectorant, and inhaling the vapors of ajwain and garlic can help clear the respiratory passages. As for your diet, avoiding cold, sour, and heavy foods like dairy can indeed reduce mucus production. You can replace them with warm, light foods to support digestion and reduce congestion. Sleeping with a warm towel on your chest may also help ease symptoms by soothing the respiratory tract and reducing mucus buildup. The key is consistency, and these remedies can provide gradual relief without the side effects of antihistamines.
