Causes of Congested Nose

How infections cause stuffy nose A stuffy nose (also known as “Congested Nose”) occurs only in conditions of low body-oxygen levels (less than 20 seconds for the body-oxygen test). Low cell-oxygen levels are caused by chronic overbreathing, upper chest breathing (which drastically reduces blood oxygenation), and habitual mouth breathing.

How allergies cause stuffy nose

Congested NoseWhile main superficial causes of congested nose include bacterial and viral infections, low body-oxygen content, on a cell level, is always the key factor. When nasal congestion is caused by infections, the person will notice that his or her mucus is yellow or green. This indicates the presence of dead bacteria or viruses in mucosal discharges.

A stuffy nose can also be caused by allergies or allergic reactions to some airborne substances (e.g., as in the case of hay fever). However, even in this case, the hypersensitive state of the immune system is caused by
chronic overbreathing. As you can see in the right diagram, the cause is the same, but the mucus is going to be clear.

Another possible cause of a large production of clear mucus is dairy products. Such allergic reactions occur due to either casein (the main protein in milk) or lactose (milk sugar).

Natural remedies for a stuffy nose due to allergies

If your congested nose is caused by allergic reactions, you need to avoid them. For example, you can test your reaction to dairy products by eliminating all dairy products from your diet for 3 days.

If you are allergic to tree pollen or cat or dog proteins, these airborne triggers are to be avoided. Once you achieve more than 30 seconds for the body-oxygen test, most of these substances (dust, dust mites, tree pollen, cat proteins, dog proteins, and so forth) will not produce an auto-immune response due to normalization of the immune system.

Natural remedies for congested nose due to infections

5 young MDs smilingIf you slow down your basal breathing patterns (get closer to the medical norm for breathing at rest) and achieve more than a certain number (in seconds) for the body-oxygen test, your frequent upper respiratory infections will also disappear. Hay fever eradication usually requires a little higher numbers (by about 10 seconds) for the body-oxygen test and avoidance of all triggers for gradual desensitization of the immune system for about 2-3 months. You can find out these exact numbers (to cure nasal congestion and defeat hay fever) right below here as your bonus content.
