If you’re expecting or are a new mom, you know how miserable nasal congestion can be—especially when pregnancy comes with a whole host of hormonal changes that make sinus issues even worse. As a currently pregnant mom on my fourth kiddo, I’ve gathered the best natural and safe remedies to help clear your sinuses and make it easier to breathe, all while keeping you and your baby in mind. Here are my top tips!
- Vicks Nasal Inhaler: This is a lifesaver, especially when you're feeling stuffy. Simply apply a bit of Vaseline to the tip of your nostrils, then use the Vicks nasal inhaler. The soothing menthol clears your airways and helps you breathe more easily, all without harsh chemicals.
- Natural Menthol Rub: During the day, a natural menthol rub is a great option to help with congestion. Apply a small amount on your chest and around your nose once or twice daily. It’s a safe and effective way to clear your sinuses while keeping you energized and focused.
- Vaseline for Moisturizing: Keeping your sinuses hydrated is key. Gently apply Vaseline to the inside of your nostrils both during the day and at night. This helps keep your nasal passages moist, which can relieve that dry, uncomfortable feeling often associated with congestion.
- HydraSense Nasal Spray: This non-medicated saline spray can be used as often as needed throughout the day. It’s gentle, safe and effective at clearing out mucus and hydrating your sinuses.
- Navage Nasal Irrigation System: This one is a game-changer! The Navage system uses salt pods and gentle suction to rinse out your nasal passages. Use it once or twice daily to flush out mucus and allergens.
- Tylenol Sinus: If your congestion is especially bothersome, Tylenol Sinus can be a good option for daytime relief. It’s a safe alternative to antibiotics and can help alleviate the pressure and pain associated with sinus issues.
By incorporating these tips into your daily routine, you can breathe easier and feel more comfortable during pregnancy and beyond!
