Nasal congestion can sometimes be reduced by using saline irrigation (nasal lavage) using a Neti pot or bulb syringe.  Also, you might consider steam inhalation, with or without a couple of drops of eucalyptus oil or camphor.  Often hydrotherapy poultices (3 min.


hot/30 sec. cold x 3) can help reduce sinus congestion.  To "cure" you need to identify the cause--respiratory allergies, food sensitivities, structural  anomalies, etc.   Seek the advice of a trained health care professional to help determine the cause of your congestion.

Firstly eliminate milk and milk products from your diet, try this for at least one month.  Then apply a hot compress to the back of your neck before giving the back of your neck a firm and deep massage. You may also soak your feet in a bowl of hot water, rub your feet dry and wear woolen socks before you go to bed each night. Checkout the pranayama regime advocated by Swami Ramdev on google - this will clear your nose.
