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.

I hope you can help me. I am 68 years old. Vegetarian since I was about 18. For about 5 years now I’ve had allergy issues; sneezing attacks, runny nose, itching inside my nose and places I can’t scratch. At times my nose would get blocked for a day but get better next day. Last Sunday my nose got blocked during the night so I couldn’t sleep past 2:00 AM. I have to breathe through my mouth and I just can’t sleep. I was able to sleep until 3:00 Monday night. Tuesday a little better. Friday night I slept pretty good, but last night I woke at 4:30 again feeling like I’m not getting enough air.
I am consulting with a naturalpathic doctor in Oklahoma (I’m in Indiana) and he has me taking several supplements that seem to help for a while, then not so much. He only sends whole food supplements. I have used homeopathic remedies, but I’m having a hard time figuring out what would help with this now. I want so bad to be able to sleep good.
After blowing my nose this morning it just got totally blocked and I tried sleeping sitting up but that doesn’t work either, and I just can’t sleep with my mouth open. Sometimes I feel I’m not getting sufficient oxygen even breathing through my mouth. What do you recommend?
