3 Best Juices That Reduce Inflammation, Break Up Mucus And Cure Congestion

Nasal congestion, in most cases, is a result of a mucus buildup or inflammation.

According to Everyday Health:

Nasal congestion, or a stuffy nose, occurs when the tissues that line your nasal passages become irritated, inflamed, and swollen, making breathing a challenge. It’s not mucus clogging your nose that causes those symptoms, although irritated nasal passages can lead to the production of excessive mucus.

Sinus congestion occurs when the mucous membranes become irritated or infected and start to excrete more mucus than normal, filling those hollow areas with thick mucus.

Anything that irritates those mucous membranes can cause them to produce excessive mucus, including these health conditions:

• A bacterial infection
• A viral infection (like a cold or the flu)
• Allergies (including hay fever or sensitivity to dust mites)
• Asthma
• An object lodged inside the nose
• A sinus infection
• A head injury
• Excessive use of nasal sprays

When you’ve got too much mucus clogging your sinuses, it’s common to experience other symptoms too. The mucus can drain down your throat, for example, causing a cough and a sore throat. Excessive mucus can also back up into the ears, clogging them, causing tenderness, and sometimes resulting in an ear infection.

However, before you turn to medications, you should try the following natural remedies that will treat the sinus congestion, clear the nasal passages, and relieve a stuffy nose:
