Description
Sneezing is a disease of the Nose.
The uncontrollable and forceful expulsion of air from the lungs is Sneezing.
It may be accompanied by mucosa. I may be accompanied by a running nose, discharge of thin ichorous liquid. The air comes out from the nose and the mouth.
The immune system is a defense system of the body. When it finds some foreign bodies or germs trying to invade the body, it tries to throw them out of the body. The first line of defense is Sneezing. It is mainly a reaction to an irritation of the nasal mucous membrane.
Sneezing causes irritation and inflammation in the nose and the throat, Larynx and Pharynx.
A Sneeze here and there, once in a while, is a natural and healthy reaction of the body. It is a welcome activity that protects us. This is not the subject of the discussion here.
Continuous Sneezing, day after day, without an identifiable cause is a disease. This is the focus of this discussion. It will need an internal remedy. Herbs are best suited for it.
However, please consult your doctor before using any herb.

The aim is to inhale droplets of White Mustard oil through the nose. You may dip your little finger in a few drops of White Mustard Oil. Put it in one nostril. Inhale deeply. Repeat with the other nostril. Alternatively put the oil in a nasal spray bottle and spray into your nose and inhale deeply.
Repeat once a day for 15 days.
