Getting a runny nose happens to all of us, a condition that we can easily deal with at home.

There are a few reasons why you might get a runny nose. The most common is a viral infection of the sinuses — typically the common cold.

Facial steam
Inhaling hot steam has been shown to help treat a runny nose. A 2015 study of people with the common cold proved that using steam inhalation was quite effective. It reduced illness recovery time by about one week compared to no steam inhalation at all.

In addition to inhaling steam from a hot cup of tea, try a facial steam. Here’s how:

1.Heat clean water in a clean pot on your stove. Heat it just enough so that steam is created —DON’T let it get to a boil.
2.Place your face above the steam for 20–30 minutes at a time. Take deep breaths through your nose. Take breaks if your face gets a too hot.
3.Blow your nose afterward to get rid of mucus.

If you do this before you sleep, you will wake up a free man (personal experience).
