SO I found this online and it really worked. I liked the taste so much that I had 2 big mugfulls in a row. After I was able to use the Neti pot with no problem. Before I drank it I couldn't even get the saline through my nose!
I used all organic ingredients:
A big mug of tomato juice
3 cloves of garlic chopped up small
as much hot sauce as you can handle
juice of half a lemon
a splash of apple cider vinegar
Heat it all up in a pan on the stove and then drink. I ended up chewing the garlic and it really cleared me up. Not permanently or anything, but it was nice to get relief for a short time anyway.
I loved the taste too! Like spiced up tomato soup. >:D
Ouch, that would clean my pipes out!

Like a Bloody Mary with attitude!! Call it a Bloody Molly Malone!!
Wow, that sounds really good actually.....I would probably drink that even when I am not clogged up!
yeah, i think its going to become a staple for those cold/ rainy days. I had more today and really enjoyed it! i want someone to try it and tell me what you think!!! especially a stuffed up person. certainly i can be the only one!
I must get sick in March....I haven't been stuffed up in a long time (since I started this thread) but now I've got a cold I just can't kick!
I just made this....thought I'd bump this up in case someone else is stuffed up too!
You could also try steam, and the best herbal steam recipe I have is :
2 Bay leaves
1 TB oregano
Optional to add:
rose petals
peppermint (leaves or oil)
eucalyptus (leaves or oil)
instructions: HAVE TISSUES/HANKIE READY NEARBY!
fill a pot with water, and bring to a boil. turn the heat to low(we want it to steam, not burn our face!) and dump in the herbs. wait 5 min, then bend over the pot, drape a towel over the back of your head and breathe! after about 5 min...
use tissues/hankie...lots
