Has your nose also become an open tap in winter? This is a home made trick to close it in 5 minutes.

News India Live, Digital Desk: When winter season comes, it brings with it the joy of quilts, peanuts and ginger tea. But, to spoil the fun, an uninvited guest also comes – “Runny Nose”. We all have faced this. Whether you are in office or at a wedding, if you have to wipe your nose again and again, your entire personality gets spoiled. After wiping it with a handkerchief, the nose becomes red and the head becomes heavy. It is not right to take pills every time, because these medicines often induce sleep. So, let us take you to your kitchen today. We have such amazing home remedies which can stop this ‘flowing Ganga’ in a jiffy.1. Steam: The oldest and surest companion, this recipe has been around for centuries and is still number one. Take hot water in a big bowl. If there is Vicks or Eucalyptus Oil in the house then add two drops of it, otherwise the steam of plain water is also sufficient. Cover your head with a towel and take deep breaths for 5-10 minutes. This hot steam directly opens your veins and melts the accumulated phlegm. Do this twice a day, and see the difference.2. Mustard Oil: Not just for cooking, our grandmothers always considered mustard oil as ‘sanjeevani’. If your nose is constantly running, then apply lukewarm mustard oil before sleeping at night. Put one drop of it in both the nostrils of your nose and pull up forcefully. It may sting a little for a couple of seconds, but it works faster than any antibiotic. It eliminates bacteria.3. Turmeric Milk (Golden Milk) If you did not drink turmeric milk during cold and cough, then what did you do? Turmeric is a natural antibiotic. Before sleeping at night, drink a glass of warm milk mixed with a pinch of turmeric and a little jaggery or honey. This will not only cure your runny nose but will also relieve sore throat and body aches. You will feel very refreshed the next morning.4. The magic of ginger and honey: Ginger keeps the body warm from inside. Extract one teaspoon ginger juice and mix it with honey and lick it. If you want, you can also add some black pepper to it. This mixture works as a tonic for the throat and nose. Take it 2-3 times a day.5. Keep yourself hydrated (Warm Water) When there is a cold, the body feels the lack of water. Say absolutely ‘no’ to cold water. Keep drinking lukewarm water throughout the day. It helps in loosening the mucus and expelling it. You can also drink soup or herbal tea (kadha). A little advice: Along with these remedies, the most important thing is rest. Give your body the warmth of a quilt. These home remedies work 100%, just try them!
