Here is How to Clear a Stuffy Nose With Garlic Steam

Try this simple home remedy to clear your airways and prevent cold.

All you need to prepare this garlic steam is 3-5 garlic cloves, a pot of water and a bath towel.

Here is how to prepare a garlic steam:

Bring the pot of water to boil. Crush he garlic cloves with a knife and remove the skins. Add them in the pot of boiling water and turn off the heat. Put your head over the pot at a safe distance (at least 2-4 inches) and put the bath towel over your head and the pot so the steam doesn’t escape. Then, take long, deep inhales and exhales for a couple of minutes (or long enough to feel it start to work).

Here is how it works:

Garlic has antibacterial properties and when crushed, it releases a healing component called allicin. This compound  helps thin the mucus blocking your nasal passages. It also reduces the inflammation that’s contributing to clogged airways. Just breath in and clear your stuffy nose.
