The best solution is to steam your face with a few drops of eucalyptus oil in the water. This will open up your pores as well as your sinuses, allowing you to breathe better. A paste of honey and fresh ground ginger should be consumed to loosen up the mucus inside. Prepare tea by steeping a teaspoon each of coarsely ground cloves, black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom and holy basil, with a dash of tea leaves. Sip this while hot, several times a day. Raw garlic is a well known remedy for curing runny noses. Eat a clove, or if you feel unable to do that, swallow at least 2 every day. Boil a variety of vegetables (especially include onions and garlic) in water and drink this broth, at least 4 cups a day to flush out toxins and help get rid of the runny nose faster. Ginger tea is one of the most effective remedies for cols. Grate a half-inch piece of ginger in two cups of water. Boil till reduced by half, and add a few tea leaves. Drink this while hot, as often as you like. To tamp down the strong biting taste of ginger, you can add some sugar to this tea. For your raw nose, apply Vaseline to the inside of the nose and try not to squeeze it while clearing.
