Why does this immediately decongest you??

I read somewhere on Reddit once that if you’re stuffed up, you just need to press your tongue to the roof of your mouth while simultaneously pressing your palm to your forehead. I am extremely sick rn and was like “might as well try that” and it works??? Like magic?? Can somebody please explain why? Thank you!

Easiest way for me to explain is that there is a nasal plate there that you are essentially moving allowing the accumulated mucus to empty out. Another similar method is to alternate pressing the top of your mouth cavity with your thing and applying pressure to the bridge of your nose. This creates a sort of rocking motion on the plate that also empties it out.
