Dry nose causes and remedies

A dry nose often is irritating and often causes nasal and breathing problems. The best remedy to clear a dry nose is the use of chicken soup. The chicken not only heats up the nasal passage but contains selenium which is an important element for the development of a proper immune system and good health.


Another remedy you can try using salt water to help clear out the nasal passage. Take about one quarter of a teaspoon of salt and mix it into a glass of warm water. Close the right nostril and use a clean medicine dropper to squirt the solution into the left nostril about two or three times.


Every time you squirt the solution in your nose let it drain out before you can squirt again.The salt water solution cleans the passage and fights off the bacteria.

Apart from this you can also try the use of steam baths and humidifiers. This will help reduce the congestion for a short period of time, but does not have any long term effects. Make sure to drink a large number of fluids as it increases the hydration levels and rinse with salt water to clear the nasal passages. Gargling with salt water will also help relieve blockage in the nose and throat area.
