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