-It’s normal for one nostril to feel blocked at night. When you lie down, more blood flows to the nose and the tissues inside swell slightly. The nose also naturally switches airflow between sides every few hours — this is called the nasal cycle. At night, this feels stronger. It’s usually not dangerous. As, u said it’s more than 6 months — —If it’s very bothersome or always the same side, we can examine for a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates. - so visit ENT specialist for proper examination. ----Try this tonight: Slightly elevate your head (extra pillow) Saline spray before bed If one side blocks, lie on that side for 10–15 minutes

At night, one nostril blocking and the other opening is normal nasal cycle. But if it feels too blocked, it may be due to Vata dryness Kapha congestion Allergy or sinus sensitivity Simple Ayurvedic solution: Before bed Put 2 drops warm sesame oil or Anu taila in each nostril (Nasya) Do gently, lie down 2 minutes Steam inhalation Plain hot water steam for 5 minutes at night Avoid Sleeping under direct fan/AC Cold food at night Late dinner Keep pillow slightly high If severe blockage daily, headache, or sinus pain check for sinusitis or deviated septum.(DNS)
