What Are the Benefits of Using Saline Water for Nasal Congestion and How Can Ayurveda Enhance Its Effectiveness? - #14915
I’ve been suffering from nasal congestion for a while, especially when the weather changes. I’ve tried over-the-counter decongestants, but they only provide temporary relief and often leave my nose feeling dry. I recently heard about using saline water as a natural remedy for nasal congestion and decided to give it a try. I’ve been using a saline nasal spray, and while it helps clear my nose for a short time, the congestion seems to return after a few hours. I’m wondering if there’s a more effective way to use saline water for congestion. I’ve heard that nasal irrigation with a neti pot can also help, but I’m not sure how often I should be using it. Could saline water be a long-term solution for nasal congestion, or is it just a temporary fix? Also, I’m curious if Ayurveda offers additional treatments that can support the use of saline water in clearing up nasal passages. Are there any herbs or oils that can work in combination with saline water to prevent frequent congestion and promote overall sinus health? I’ve heard that Ayurvedic oils like sesame and eucalyptus can be beneficial—could these help open up the nasal passages and improve breathing? Has anyone here used saline water for nasal congestion along with Ayurvedic remedies? What worked best for you, and how did it help with long-term relief from congestion?
