How to Instantly Fix a Stuffy Nose

Dr. Rowe shows three methods that can instantly relieve a stuffy nose.
These easy exercises will focus on covering all bases. This includes helping to clear up sinus and nasal congestion, and improving lymph flow to flush out bad bacteria and mucus (helpful for allergies, colds, and flu).
All of the exercises can be done at home, require no equipment, and may give stuffy nose relief within seconds.
Let us know how the exercises work for you!

You got that right. He fixed my back problem and now my nose problem. Dr. Alan Mandell is helping me lose weight with a drink that I drink at night. And Gloria Song is also helping me lose weight by doing stretching. These 3 people on KZbin are incredible. Better than my doctor.

[@amberrhyno1455]

Wow! It’s 3am and I can’t sleep because my sinuses are so clogged up. I mean so much so that I can’t breathe any air in at all! I’m a “nose breather” and just cannot breathe from my mouth which results in zero sleep 😢 I tried the very first method you demonstrated and within 30 seconds that nostril was 100% cleared, allowing me to breathe fully! At first I wasn’t able to breathe any air in but kept going anyway and the RELIEF!! It’s mind blowing that these simple methods aren’t well known considering how much relief they provide. 100% more affective than nasal sprays! THANK YOU!! I’m finally going to be able to sleep 😭 I’m going to try this technique on my 7 year old and hope it works 🤞

[@theartofliving5001]

Didn't open up anything, no Niagara falls, unfortunately. But my headache is almost gone and eyesight improved!! No need to take pain relief medication now. Thank you so much! I will be doing these exercises again for sure!🙏👍

I genuinely feel glad whenever KZbin shows content of this guy on my homepage.

[@helimax]

This works ! Exhale fully, pinch nose closed with fing and thumb. Hold that breath out with mouth closed and nose pinched, Now gently nod your head up and down a bit. When you feel first urge to breathe extend you neck to look up and hold until very strong urge to breathe. conclude by inhaling through the nose and stay looking up - you will feel the drainage immediately :)

[@buriedtoodeep1508]

[@railyard77]

My solution: Fill a 3 qt saucepan about halfway with water, add about 2 tablespoons of salt and a lemon or lime sliced about 1/8" thick. Heat over medium-high heat until it comes to a hard simmer, but not quite a boil. You want steam, not a scalding splatter. While the water is heating, get the following together: a chair, a box of tissues and a damp (not wet) hand towel. Put the chair in front of the stove, turned sideways (this gives you a place to rest one let at a time and the back of the chair can be used for balance, if needed). Lean forward over the pan of water. Drape the damp towel over the back of your head, so that it creates a "tent" over your head to capture that steam and heat around your nose and sinuses. Be careful that the towel doesn't hang down far enough that it comes in contact with the burner on the stove. Breathe in the steam, if you can get air through your nose, it will work best to bring the steam in that way. However, if you can only breathe through your mouth, go ahead and breathe that way, until things start flowing. When it does, step back, grab the tissues and blow out as much as you can and then come back for more. This may sound gross, but I have one friend who has an old saucepan which he never uses for food, but when he does this procedure, just lets the snot flow. If it runs out, it drips into the extremely hot water and the germs get killed. Hear them scream as they fall to their deaths :)

[@DrRowe]

Thanks for the tip!

[@SuzyQT]

Wow this WORKS GREAT!! Been suffering severe allergies, sinus congestion/pressure & headaches. I can’t believe how much pressure this relieved whilst opening my nasal passages! I’m subscribing & binging your videos to help relive my back pain! Thank you so much Dr. Rowe, you’re a lifesaver!!

The first one did not work at all for me because that side is completely blocked.

[@3monkey3]

Super help, great timing! I am just recovering from covid, headache and sinus problems are the last to go. Your tips worked. I guess I’ll repeat until i can breath normally, but improve was immediate. Next on my list, repairing and strengthening climber’s knee. I’m 67 so need to be prudent with exercises. (update edit) I slept well all night, breathing easily. I have no blockage at all and the headache from sinus pressure is completely gone. I'm really appreciative of your post and tips, thank you!

[@JoyfullyOrangeDeborah]

I also like to take a very warm, wet washcloth & hold over my mid face from over eyebrows to under nose & breathe in the warm moist air. I rewarm it after a few breaths in as it gets cold spots. That usually gets things started breaking up. Your techniques are things that I will incorporate to follow that. Thank you so much for your techniques!

[@DrRowe]

Thanks for sharing!!

This is a huge help thanks. In schools students can positively actively do as often as they need! as well, as saying a prayer for their teacher. Helping that all will work out for the better. TEACHERS need helpers as well and allow their students to look after themselves, when it comes to congestion in the nasal.

[@non9886]

for stuffy nose i use: 1. just jala néti - rinsing nose with warm salty water 2. sútra néti - is variation when you stuff your nose with some kind of fibre. originally cotton one where cca 5 cm is soaked in bee wax but today they use usually some kind of rubber one cca 2 mm thick. it activates all nerves in nose and it is very intense 🙂wet out fibre little bit before 3. i use aroma oils - lemon one for freshness + tea tree oil for desinfection + eucalyptus for improving breathing 4. tiger ointment - traditional oriental thing which could be used also for this, just to sniff is enough 5. chicken soup with enough salt and plenty of black pepper

This was super helpful, thank you! I'm with Warren Remmey on the hot cup of tea. I like to stick my head over the steam and breath it in. Qigong nose massage has also been helpful to loosen some of the gunk. Using your middle fingers, place them at the base of your nose where the nostrils connect to the face. (I believe it is LI20) Move your fingers in slow circles, massaging the points. Then slowly move up the nose, massaging gently until you reach the top.
