Homeopathy treatment for Atrophic rhinitis
It is a chronic inflammation of nose characterized by atrophy of nasal mucosa and turbinate bones. The nasal cavities are roomy and full of foul-smelling crusts. Atrophic rhinitis is of two types: primary and secondary.
Atrophic rhinitis (AR) is a condition that affects the interior of your nose. The condition occurs when the tissue that lines the nose, known as the mucosa, and the bone underneath shrink down. This shrinking down is known as atrophy. It can lead to changes in function of the nasal passages.
Symptoms of Atrophic Rhinitis
Nasal Obstruction:
- Despite the nasal passages being wider due to tissue atrophy, patients may feel nasal obstruction due to crusts and debris.
Crusting:
- Formation of thick, greenish or yellowish crusts inside the nose.
Nasal Discharge:
- Foul-smelling nasal discharge, often due to secondary bacterial infection.
Nosebleeds (Epistaxis):
- Frequent episodes of nosebleeds due to the fragile nature of the atrophied nasal mucosa.
Anosmia or Hyposmia:
- Loss or reduction of the sense of smell.
Nasal Dryness:
- Persistent dryness in the nasal passages.
Chronic Nasal Infections:
- Persistent bacterial or fungal infections of the nasal cavity, sinuses, or upper respiratory tract can lead to chronic inflammation and damage to the nasal mucosa. These infections may include conditions like chronic sinusitis or recurrent rhinitis.
Previous Nasal Surgery or Trauma:
- History of nasal surgeries, such as septoplasty, turbinectomy, or sinus surgery, can disrupt the normal nasal anatomy and compromise the nasal mucosa’s health. Similarly, traumatic injuries to the nose or nasal passages can cause long-term damage and inflammation.
Autoimmune Conditions:
- Certain autoimmune diseases, such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), can affect the immune response and lead to chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa.
Environmental Factors:
- Prolonged exposure to environmental irritants, pollutants, or occupational hazards (e.g., dust, chemicals, smoke, industrial fumes) can contribute to chronic nasal inflammation and damage to nasal tissues.
Hormonal Changes:
- Fluctuations in hormonal levels, such as during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause, can affect nasal mucosal health and contribute to atrophic changes.
Genetic Predisposition:
- Some individuals may have a genetic predisposition that makes them more susceptible to developing atrophic rhinitis under certain environmental or physiological conditions.
Malnutrition:
- Severe nutritional deficiencies, particularly vitamin A deficiency, historically played a role in atrophic rhinitis due to its critical role in maintaining mucosal health and integrity.
Age:
- Atrophic rhinitis is more commonly seen in older individuals, possibly due to cumulative effects of chronic inflammation, aging-related changes in nasal tissues, and decreased mucosal regeneration.
Vitamin A:
- Essential for maintaining healthy mucous membranes.
- Sources: Carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, kale, red bell peppers, and liver.
Vitamin C:
- Supports the immune system and aids in the repair of tissues.
- Sources: Citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruits), strawberries, kiwi, bell peppers, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.
Vitamin E:
- Acts as an antioxidant and supports immune function.
- Sources: Nuts (almonds, hazelnuts), seeds (sunflower seeds), spinach, and broccoli.
Iron:
- Important for maintaining healthy blood cells and supporting tissue health.
- Sources: Red meat, poultry, fish, lentils, beans, spinach, and fortified cereals.
Zinc:
- Supports immune function and tissue repair.
- Sources: Meat, shellfish, legumes (chickpeas, lentils, beans), seeds (pumpkin, sesame), nuts, and dairy products.

Acne signs and symptoms vary depending on the severity of your condition
- Whiteheads (closed plugged pores)
- Blackheads (open plugged pores)
- Small red, tender bumps (papules)
- Pimples (pustules), which are papules with pus at their tips
- Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface of the skin (nodules)
- Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface of the skin (cystic lesions)
- Excess oil production
- Hair follicles clogged by oil and dead skin cells
- Bacteria
- Excess activity of a type of hormone (androgens)
Acne typically appears on your face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders because these areas of skin have the most oil (sebaceous) glands. Hair follicles are connected to oil glands.
The follicle wall may bulge and produce a whitehead. Or the plug may be open to the surface and darken, causing a blackhead. A blackhead may look like dirt stuck in pores. But actually the pore is congested with bacteria and oil, which turns brown when it’s exposed to the air.
Pimples are raised red spots with a white center that develop when blocked hair follicles become inflamed or infected with bacteria. Blockages and inflammation that develop deep inside hair follicles produce cystlike lumps beneath the surface of your skin. Other pores in your skin, which are the openings of the sweat glands, aren’t usually involved in acne.
Just cutting out the damaging foods listed above will likely lead to clearer skin—especially if you were regularly consuming them before. But what if you’re already eating healthy? Are there certain foods that could give you the edge against acne? Research is in its earliest stages, but we do have some knowledge of particular foods that may help. Here are five of them:
FISH OR FLAXSEED
The typical Western diet contains too many omega-6 fatty acids, which are tied to inflammation. Eating more omega-3 fatty acids, such as those found in fatty fish, walnuts, flaxseed, and the like, can help tame inflammation and improve acne breakouts.
GREEN TEA
Green tea is filled the antioxidants that can protect from environmental stressors. Drink more green tea throughout the day.
JUICING
Eating more fruits and vegetables can naturally help clear up acne, and juicing is a great way to do so. Many contain beta-carotenes, which naturally help reduce skin oils, and all are naturally anti-inflammatory. Dark, leafy greens also help clear impurities from the body,
PROBIOTICS
These have been found to reduce inflammation in the gut, which may help reduce acne. According to a 2011 study, intestinal microflora may affect inflammation throughout the body, which in turn, can affect acne breakouts. Since pre and probiotics can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, scientists believe they may help reduce acne breakouts
OYSTERS
Eat more oysters, toasted wheat germ (sprinkled on salads and steamed veggies), veal liver, roast beef, roasted pumpkin and squash seeds, and dried watermelon seeds
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera contains antibacterial properties, which help prevent the formation of cystic acne. Besides, it also contains essential minerals, vitamins, amino acids, proteins and enzymes, which are very good for skin.
- Cut aloe vera and then apply its gel directly to your affected skin.
- Apply this remedy 3- 4 times a week.
- Peel 300g of fresh aloe vera and take out aloe vera juice
- Drink a glass of aloe vera juice daily
- After washing the face, apply fresh aloe vera gel directly to your affected area
- Leave it on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing it off with cool water.
- Eat 10-20g of aloe vera daily by cooking tea or adding to your dishes
Baking Soda
Mix 1 tsp. of baking soda with some cucumber juice or plain water to create a thin paste.
Then, apply this paste on your affected area.
Leave it on for several minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.
Finally, use a moisturizer
Repeat this remedy once or twice per week.
Lavender Oil
- Apply some lavender oil on your affected area
- Firstly, wash your face thoroughly
- Add 4- 5 drops of lavender oil to a bowl of hot water
- Then, use a towel to cover your head and lean over the steam for 5- 10 minutes.
- Repeat this remedy 2- 3 times a week.
Neem
- Apply the paste made from some neem leaves on your affected skin.
- When it dries on its own, rinse it off with lukewarm water.
- Repeat this remedy twice daily for several days.
- Apply some neem oil on your affected area with the help of a cotton ball.
- Leave it on for 10 minutes before washing it off using warm water.
Turmeric
turmeric works as a natural antiseptic to help you fight off infection.
- Add some water or sesame oil to about 1-2 tsp. of powdered turmeric to create a paste.
- Then, apply this paste on your affected area
- Let it sit on for about 60 minutes before washing it off with water.
- Add ½ tsp. of powdered turmeric to a glass of lukewarm milk.
- Drink this solution twice daily.
Garlic
- Cut a small garlic slice and use it to cover the acne
- Leave it on for about 20 minutes before rinsing it off with water.
- Crush 2-3 fresh garlic cloves
- Then, add some fresh water and rub it directly to your affected area
- Leave it on 20 minutes before rinsing it off with water
- Remove the shells of 6 fresh garlic cloves
- Then, soak them in 1 tsp. of raw honey.
- Store them in the dark about 2-3 months.
- After that, apply this mixture directly on the cystic acne.
- Leave it on 20-30 minutes before rinsing it off with cool water.
- Repeat this remedy 2-3 times per week.
However, when using garlic to treat cystic acne, discontinue right away if you notice skin redness and itching. Also, remember to protect the skin before going out.
Cucumber
This is worth mentioning in the list of home remedies for cystic acne on nose, cheek and forehead that you should consider making use at home. Using cucumber is known as one of the best home remedies for cystic acne thanks to its high content of vitamins A, B1, B2, C, iron, etc.
- Slice a cucumber and wash your facial skin
- Apply cucumber slices on your face
- Leave it on for 20 minutes before washing it off with clean water
- Repeat this remedy 2-3 times a week
what not to eat
Studies so far have focused mostly on the foods that make acne worse. Here are the five that come up most often as culprits in increasing breakouts. Avoid these for about a week, and see if you notice a difference.
- cow’s milk.
- sugar
- high-glycemic foods.
