5 Fixes for Postnasal Drip

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy uses essential oils to clear out mucus triggering postnasal drip. There are many ways to inhale the vapors, such as a handkerchief, a diffuser, or a vaporizer. Some common types of essential oils to use for this purpose include fennel oil, eucalyptus oil, and peppermint oil. Keep in mind that you should avoid this home remedy in infants or children or those people with lung conditions. Otherwise, the substances in these oils can cause some severe side effects. Also, you should never ingest them. [6]
