Also known as a stuffy nose, nasal congestion refers to the plugged up or blocked feeling of the nasal cavities, adjacent tissues, and nearby blood vessels when they become swollen with excess fluid. It may be accompanied by nasal discharge, or a runny nose. Both Brillia Health products can help relieve nasal congestion, so you can choose whichever one addresses the specific symptoms you are experiencing. For instance if you also have a sore throat or cough, you can take Cough Control on its own or in conjunction with Cold-Flu Recovery.

Nasal congestion occurs when histamine is released by your white blood cells as part of your body’s inflammatory response to minor illnesses like colds or flus, or anything that irritates or inflames the nasal tissues. This is why histamine is the direct target of tha antihistamine active ingredient in both Brillia Health products, which helps your body to not cause nasal congestion, versus other antihistamine medications that work against your body’s histamine response.

Getting quality sleep is crucial when you’re sick as your body releases protective cytokines to fight off the illness. But nasal congestion can get in the way of breathing, which can make it difficult to fall or stay asleep. To get some sleep with a stuffy nose, try sleeping with your head propped up, take a hot shower or bath before bed, use a humidifier, drink chamomile tea, and consider taking Brillia Cold-Flu Recovery to ease symptoms without harsh chemicals that cause harmful side effects and shorten the duration of your illness. If you have any coughing or sore throat with your nasal congestion, you can also take Brillia Health Cough Control, which also has the antihistamine active ingredient.

Common causes of nasal congestion include the common cold, the flu, acute sinusitis, allergies, dry air, a deviated septum, nasal polyps, a foreign object in the nose, hormonal changes, stress, spicy foods, sleep apnea, and tobacco smoke. Brillia Health can help control nasal congestion no matter the cause due to its antihistamine active ingredient.

Besides taking an over-the-counter homeopathic medication like Brillia Health (both products can help with nasal congestion), which are clinically proven to help the body recover faster, there are numerous home remedies you can try to clear nasal congestion. These include drinking plenty of fluids, getting adequate sleep, using a humidifier or vaporizer, applying a hot, moist compress, and taking a hot shower to clear your sinuses while also easing body aches.

Both Brillia Health products contain lapine histamine immune globulin antibody, which binds to the histamines your body releases when sick or having an allergic reaction and prevents them from causing inflammation. This efficiently reduces nasal, sinus, and chest congestion at the source of symptoms.  Other targeted antibodies found in Brillia Health’s Cold-Flu Recovery product target immune cells, helping to fight off illness more efficiently. So if you suspect that your nasal congestion is from a cold or flu, then Cold-Flu Recovery is recommended. This is achieved without any harsh chemicals or harmful side effects associated with other allergy medication. Brillia Health products can also help you avoid secondary infections if you don’t have one already.
