Sneezing is a sudden and forcible expulsion of air from the nose and mouth. It occurs when the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity gets irritated. The nose helps clean the air that goes to the lungs by trapping irritants like dust and germs in the mucus (produced by the mucous membranes). When these irritants manage to enter the sensitive mucous membrane, they may cause sneezing. Sneezing is the body’s response to remove irritants from the nose and throat. In most cases, it occurs without warning. Although an uncomfortable and troublesome condition, it is not usually considered to be a serious health concern.
Homeopathy offers an outstanding treatment for cases of sneezing. Homeopathic medicines for sneezing work by stimulating the body’s self-healing process. This helps to promote natural recovery. Besides sneezing, these medicines also help to improve associated symptoms like nasal discharge, nasal irritation, burning sensation in eyes, itchy eyes, eye discharge, headache, etc. In modern system of medicine, anti-allergic pills or antibiotics are given as per the cause to treat sneezing. These aid short-term relief and can have side effects as well. On the other hand, homeopathy offers long term help rather than temporary relief without any side effects.
There are many medicines in homeopathy to treat cases of sneezing. The appropriate homeopathic medicines for sneezing are decided by analyzing individual symptoms in every case. A detailed case history is taken from the patient by a homeopathy doctor followed by its detailed evaluation to finalize the medicine for a given case. This is the individualized way of prescribing medicine to suit the requirement of the patient that brings about excellent results.
Homeopathy treats sneezing by aiming to treat the underlying cause of sneezing like allergy, common cold, etc. Once the cause is addressed homeopathic medicines bring about a complete recovery. Firstly these control the acute sneezing episodes. Afterwards gradually these reduce the intensity and frequency of this complaint till it gets completely resolved. For getting best results it is advised to take medicine under the guidance of a homeopathic doctor for a suggested time period. In no case should self-medication be done.
Homeopathic medicines are made from naturally occurring substances. These work very gently in a harmless way and restore the body’s natural healing mechanism to overcome the complaint of sneezing. Therefore, these are safe to use and do not cause any harmful effects.

আমার ২০১৪ সাল থেকে খুব শ্বাসকষ্ট হয়, তার জন্য আমার হার্ট বাই পাস অপারেশন হয় কিন্তু তাতেও শ্বাসকষ্ট কমেনা। একটু বেশী হাঁটলে, সিড়ি দিয়ে উঠলে, ধূলোবালি ঢুকলে বেশি শ্বাসকষ্ট হোতো। একসময় খুব স্মোক করতাম বর্তমানে ৬/৭ বছর ছেড়ে দিয়েছি। ২০১৬ থেকে পালমলজিষ্ট দেখাচ্ছি। উনি আগে ঔষধ ও ৩ কে ইঞ্জেকশন দিলেও এখন শুধু ইনহেলার (রোটোক্যাপ) সারাদিনে একবার নিতে হয়। ডাক্তার বাবু বলেছেন COPD এবং এলার্জি। ২০২৪ সালের ২৮শে মে আমার ডানদিকের কিডনিতে টিউমার থাকায় কেটে বাদ দিতে হয়, এতো সব রোগ থাকায় যে কোন ঔষধ খেতে ভয় হয় তবুও আমার এক পরিচিত হোমিওপ্যাথি দোকান থেকে গ্যাস অম্বলের ও আমাশার জন্য কার্বোভেজ, চায়না, লাইকোপোডিয়াম ও মার্কসোল ২০০ সব সময় ঘড়ে থাকে। এখন নাকি দিয়ে জল পড়ছে ও বুকে হাল্কা ও পাতলা কফ রয়েছে, মাঝে মাঝে পাচ্ছি হচ্ছে ও পাতলা কফ বেরোচ্ছে। আমি কি ঔষধ খেতে পারি জানালে উপকৃত হইতাম। আমার মা-র ও এজমা শ্বাসকষ্ট ছিল।
