According to a study conducted in 2008, consuming hot drinks may be an effective way to reduce nasal congestion.
It turns out that steam rising from hot liquids can help clear the nasal passages. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to drink hot beverages during cold or allergy seasons to ease breathing.
Additionally, consuming hot liquids like tea or broth aids in moisturizing the nasal mucosa and thinning mucus, which also facilitates easier breathing.
Doctors also advise adding honey or lemon to hot beverages to enhance the positive effects on blocked nasal passages.
Thus, when experiencing congestion, do not forget that hot drinks can serve as an additional means for relieving symptoms and quick recovery.
