I had issues with my nose for ages and got the tip to use a Rhino Horn from a friend. Using it daily helps a lot, but still one passage gets clogged up regularly. This is a cheap way to clear the passages, as all you need is water and kitchen salt. (later I discovered I have hay fever... ah well, this works better then any medication.

Make sure to boil ALL water first before doing this to avoid brain eating amoeba.

No need, overhere in the Netherlands we have safe tap water.

Lie down on your side with the clogged nostril higher than your clear nostril. Breathe normally and you'll notice your nostril will unclog after a few minutes, works 90% of the time.

Think of the clog as a mass behind your nose and gravity is shifting it to the middle. FYI it might switch to the other nostril, so it might take a few attempts before you clear both and at the very least you get a bit of easy relief without meds or more aggressive methods.

Supposedly it has nothing to do with gravity. It's a physiological reaction to pressure on your armpit. Supposedly you can induce it in any position. Put pressure on your right armpit and your left nostril will clear. I've never tried it.

Not sure if serious

I don't know why this works or if it will work for you, but it works for me like 95% of the time when I have a mild cold or something. Breathe through your nose as slow as you possibly can. That's it. Obviously don't pass out so if you feel you have to, then take a few normal breaths. It helps if you're calm and your heart rate slows down.

I used to get addicted to nasal sprays all the time and haven't used one since I found this method.

I’ve heard it’s because your brain thinks (somewhat correctly) that you can’t breathe and releases “clear that clog right now” chemicals.

Holding your breath until you almost pass out works for the same reason, but I don’t recommend it.
