HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR NASAL CONGESTION OR STUFFY NOSE
Nasal congestion or
"stuffy nose" occurs when nasal and adjacent tissues and blood
vessels become swollen with excess fluid, causing a "stuffy" feeling.
Nasal congestion may or may not be accompanied by a nasal discharge or
"runny nose."
Nasal congestion usually
is just an annoyance for older children and adults. But nasal congestion can be
serious for children whose sleep is disturbed by their nasal congestion, or for
infants, who might have a hard time feeding as a result.
Causes--Nasal congestion can be caused by anything that irritates or
inflames the nasal tissues. Infections — such as colds, flu or sinusitis —
allergies and various irritants, such as tobacco smoke, may all cause a runny
nose. Some people have a chronically runny nose for no apparent reason — a
condition called nonallergic rhinitis or vasomotor rhinitis (VMR).
Less commonly, nasal
congestion can be caused by polyps or a tumor.
