My grandma used to say that nothing better to treat a blocked nose than inhaling vapours produced by boiling eucalyptus tree leaves.

you can get a similar effect by placing a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil in a hot bowl or sink of water

This is great but my tip is make sure your wearing goggles or glasses (and close your eyes tight) if you're putting your head over a bowl of it (with optional Tee-towel) This is because it's incredibly painful if the strong vapors get into your eyes, but otherwise this has always been a very successful decongestant for me.
