I wonder: if my nasal congestion is caused by vasodilation (which seems to be the case), would that mean that I should I use the lowest temperature possible for my humidifier in order to facilitate vasoconstriction instead? It's currently set at a high temperature of 27C = 80F. My room temperature, on the other hand, is 65F. What do you think?
You have to experiment. 27c caused complete blockage in my case, so I turned it off and set the other setting to 0 (completely off). I notice that my nose likes cool moist air, but condensation is a disturbing factor, so I get away with just passover humidification.
