warm peppermint steam so as to relieve the blockage in the nasal cavity and
sinus. Another comforting steam that one can do is to have a warm, steamy
shower to further loosen up the nasal congestion.

drink the whole pepper corn tea. I may not know the scientific reason why it
worked for me but it did!
