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), second it 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 also 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.

Respected Sir,
I am Pluto Barua. I am from Bangladesh. How are you Sir? I hope you are well.
Sometimes I watch your Video about Homeopathy treatment. I have some problems which are given below.
I am now about 37 years old. So far as I can remember, I have been suffering from runny nose, sneezing and blocked nostril since very young age.
Sometimes watery discharge comes out from my nose and I get blocked nostril. Sometimes I find dry nose and blocked nostril.
My both inferior turbinates are hypertrophied also.
When I go to open air or hot place, my blocked nose opens. While eating foods my blocked nose opens. But, most of the time my nostrils remain blocked.
My Allopathic doctor says, I am suffering from Allergy.
After taking Allopathic medicine, I get temporally relief from these problem for few months. After that, I face again these problems.
My ENT specialist gave me some tests. The tests were CVC and IgE. He also gave me X-Ray for DNS.
I don’t know I have either food allergy or inhalant allergy. But, after CVC and IgE tests my ENT specialist said I have too much allergy. Food allergy test is too much costly. I cannot afford it now. And I don’t know I have food allergy or not.
X-Ray report says, I have DNS in the left side. And both inferior turbinates are hypertrophied also.
So, can I take R83 (Dr Reckeweg) for food allergy and R84 (Dr Reckeweg) for inhalant allergy together? And what homeopathic medicine should I take for DNS?
Please, prescribe me for nasal allergy, runny nose, blocked nostril, dry nose, nasal obstruction and hypertrophy of both inferior turbinates.
Please, also prescribe me doses for R83 (Dr Reckeweg), R84 (Dr Reckeweg) and DNS.
Thanking you
Pluto Barua

Hi sir, this is Sandeep, I has DNS in Right side since two decades, pl sugesst primary medicine.
Dr. Sharma, I am a homeopath in Israel – a woman approached me for treatment of Nasal Valve Collapse. Was wondering if you had experience treating this with success . About 30 years ago her situation started as a severely deviated septum and enlarged turbinates – first surgery removed too much cartilage but there was improvement in her breathing – second surgery didn’t do anything – not worse or better – now she is searching for something other than reconstructive surgery of her nose to open the nasal passages so she can breathe better. Thank you in advance for your feedback.
