How to Get Rid of Congestion: Things I've Realized

Getting rid of congestion is an ongoing task for me. I'd say, oh, six days out of seven I'm walking around with a stuffy nose. And although I'd much rather have a stuffy nose than a runny one, I still don't like to feel congested, either. After a lot of thought and frustrion, I realized that a lot of my congestion problems are directly related to the way I eat and drink. So I guess in other words, what you put in your body definitely DOES matter - especially if you're trying to get rid of nasal congestion or polyps

I think that one of the most important things when it comes to getting rid of congestion is staying well hydrated. I'm pretty bad about drinking enough water sometimes - I just get busy and forget to drink and eat until later in the day when I stop for a minute and realize how thirsty/hungry I really am. So, I've decided that it's in my best interest to keep a jug of water next to me at all times. Hopefully reaching down and sipping on it throughout the day will start to become second nature after a while!

Hi there! I'm just one really frustrated nasal polyp sufferer that's finally tired of covering them up with Band-aids, like steroid nasal sprays. I haven't been able to smell, sleep well or breathe for the past four years and I would love to find a natural way to manage my polyps and sinus congestion.
