A stuffy nose (nasal congestion) occurs when the nasal mucosa becomes swollen and inflamed due to increased blood flow and mucus production, leading to obstruction of airflow. It may result from viral infections (common cold), allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, deviated septum, exposure to smoke/pollutants, hormonal changes, adenoid enlargement, or weather changes. Patients experience blocked nose, difficulty breathing, mouth breathing, post-nasal drip, headache, reduced smell, snoring, and disturbed sleep. Persistent congestion can cause sinus infection, ear blockage, and chronic respiratory disorders.

Homoeopathy focuses on correcting underlying causes—viral infection, allergy, immune hypersensitivity, sinus swelling, dust sensitivity, chronic cold tendency, or recurrent rhinitis. Remedies are selected on the basis of discharge type, side affinity, temperature modalities, triggering factors (dust, weather change, cold drinks, perfumes), time of aggravation, mental state, thirst pattern, and associated symptoms such as headache, sneezing, snoring, and throat irritation. The goal is to restore mucosal health, reduce hypersensitivity, enhance immunity, and provide permanent resolution instead of temporary suppression.

Stuffy nose is not just mucus obstruction but reflects deeper mucosal inflammation, allergy tendency, immunity deficit, or sinus involvement. Homoeopathy treats from the root by reducing nasal hypersensitivity, restoring mucosal integrity, regulating immunity, and preventing recurrence. Correct constitutional medicine, supported with lifestyle, helps patients breathe freely without dependence on decongestant sprays or antihistamines.
