I saw this remedy on a website tried it and saw it worked pretty well so thought I'd share it Pinch your nose and walk fast with your blocked nose pinched and your mouth closed all the time. (You need to accumulate CO2 to dilate arteries and arterioles). You will probably be able to make around 20-30 steps. While walking, you should hold your breath until a strong urge to breathe. Then sit down with your spine totally straight and focus on your breath. After you release your nose, you need to keep the mouth closed (no gasping for air) and start reduced breathing (breathing little bit less than before this exercise). How? Instead of taking a big (or deep) inhalation take a smaller one, but using the diaphragm only, and then relax all muscles for exhalation, especially the upper chest and all other respiratory muscles. Make another shorter inhalation and again relax. With each inhalation, practice this reduced breathing while remaining relaxed.

I get stuffy noses a lot, so here is how I cure it.
I get some boiling water and put garlic in it. Next, i put my head over the poy with a towel over my nead to funnel the steamm to my face. Works wonders for me!

Here are a few that work quite well! I did not make them up, but my children have tried them and they are wonderful!
INGREDIENTS: one clove of garlic (or more if needed)
or a piece of an onion
little bit of honey
a piece of an aloe plant (just the tip of a leaf thingies)
INSTRUCTIONS: This is what my grandmother did for me when I had a stuffy nose. Grind up the garlic so the juice comes out, mix it up with honey and squeeze out a bit of the juice from the aloe plant into the mixture. Then soak two cotton balls in this and stick them up your nostrils... Maybe five or ten minutes?
Ingredients: A cup of hot water
A cold bath cloth
Instructions: First you stand up straight and put the cup of hot water to your nose. Then you suck in the water. The water might burn a little like water would burn if you were swimming and you got alot of water in you nose. After that you blow your nose in the cold bath cloth. You might want to do that every 4 hours.
Sniff an onion, that usually works.

Brush your teeth with mint toothpaste while you lean forward a little. At first it almost burns your throat but then Atleast one nostril will give way. If your like me being able to breath out of one nostril is better than none. Relief time always varies for me.
