Breathing is a continuous second-by-second process, and it’s no wonder then that a blocked nose is as irritating as a medical condition can get. Blocked nose is a very common complaint that can affect a person of any age group. The nose can be partially or completely blocked, and it can be blocked on one side or both sides varying from case to case. A blocked nose can be attributed to various reasons. It can be caused by cold, flu for a week or two but if it persists for more long time then it could be from some other health conditions. First among these is nasal polyps (soft, non-cancerous growths in the nose), the second is nasal allergies. Another reason can be a deviated nasal septum (DNS) in which there is a displacement of the wall separating the nostrils to one side. Further causes includs sinusitis (inflammation of tissue lining the paranasal sinuses) and hypertrophy of nasal turbinates (the enlargement of bony structures inside the nose). Enlarged adenoids (the enlargement of the tissue present at the junction of the back of the nose and throat) are an important cause of blocked nose in kids. The nose can be blocked in isolation or in conjunction or alteration with nasal discharges. Some other symptoms may also attend like sneezing, headache, post nasal discharge, cough, loss of smell depending on the cause.
Homeopathy is a very effective mode of treatment for nasal blockage cases. Homeopathic medicines, which are made of natural substances are completely safe with no side effects, are best for the treatment of a blocked nose. They function on the core of the issue for effective cure in blocked nose. Simultaneously, symptoms like nasal discharge, sneezing, post nasal discharge, headache, cough, loss of smell are also cured. The instant reaction when a person has a blocked nose is to pop in over-the-counter pills or take a nasal spray / nasal decongestant, but relief with these is temporary. There can be a relapse even after you think you are out of the blocked nose phase. However, natural homeopathic remedies for blocked nose not only ensure relief from symptoms but also roots out the cause of the blocked nose.

Dr Sharma, I am 62 years and for the past 2-3 years I can’t breathe properly through both nostrils. Sometimes one gets blocked and the other is Normal and in some time it changes in reverse. It is usually experienced at the night starting in the late evening. During the day breathing is normal from both the nostrils.
There is no other problem except it disturbs sleep. Quite often I have to use Otrivin for nasal congestion.
I get relief from Homeopathy medicine by my Doctor for a month or two with no need for OTRIVIN.
Please suggest suitable remedy in homeopathy what I can use in case of need.

Hi
I have two nasal problems, night time blockage for which I am taking nix vomica with some success, secondly I have lost my sense of smell by about 90% plus. This I think came about by overuse of sinex to clear congestion sinus some 30 years ago ( during the day ) as a result of going on up to 8 planes a week.
Have you any suggestions please.
