I like to put a dab on it in each nostril which helps me breathe better. I put it on the front part of my neck and chest.

Many years ago they used to sell Vick's nose inhalers. It was like chapstick except you just put it in each nostril and suck hard with your nostril to get the vapors to go far up in your nose. There wasn't any gooky run inside of it, but inhaleling it cleared out the nose passages. My friends and myself always bought them and put them in our purse.
I don't know if they still make them or not.

Another thing that clears your nose is to put your hear over the bathroom sink and put a towel around your head and the sink so the steamwon'tescape, turn on the hot water and soon the steam should clear your nose. Taking a hot steamy shower does the same thing.
