decongesting
Opening clogged airways
Decongesting is the act of relieving congestion—clearing blocked passages or reducing crowding.
Most often it refers to opening up clogged nasal passages: This spray is good for decongesting your sinuses.
It also applies to traffic or crowded spaces: The city is decongesting downtown by adding bike lanes.
