Hello I completely understand your concern. You are experiencing right nostril blockage, increased mucus accumulation, and morning discomfort for the past few weeks.
According to Ayurveda, such symptoms arise mainly due to Kapha–Vata imbalance leading to Nasa Srotas Avarodha (blockage of nasal channels)
When Kapha dosha accumulates due to cold exposure, heavy food, or weak digestion, it thickens the mucus and obstructs airflow — particularly affecting one nostril (often alternating sides).
✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
✅INTERNAL MEDICATION
1. Sitopaladi Churna – 1 tsp with honey thrice daily after meals (Balances Kapha, relieves throat irritation, clears mucus, and improves immunity.)
2. Talisadi Churna – ½ tsp with warm water twice daily (Helps in decongestion and prevents recurrent cold or sinus infections.)
3. Dashmoolakatutreya Ks tab 2-0-2 after food – (reduces Kapha accumulation.)
4. Haridra Khanda – 1 tsp with warm milk at night (Acts as a natural anti-allergic, reduces inflammation of sinuses and nasal lining.)
✅ NASYA KARMA (External Nasal Therapy)
Anu Taila Warm the oil slightly. After taking mild steam to open nasal channels, lie down comfortably and instill 2–3 drops in each nostril.
Inhale deeply and rest for a minute. This practice clears sinus blockage, lubricates nasal mucosa, strengthens eyesight, improves breathing, and balances all three doshas — especially Kapha and Vata.
Do it early morning (after bath) for 7–10 days.
✅ HOME REMEDIES
1. Steam Inhalation: Boil water with turmeric powder + ajwain seeds + eucalyptus oil. Inhale steam for 5–10 minutes twice daily to melt mucus and clear nasal passages.
2. Warm Salt Water Gargle: Gargle twice a day to clear throat congestion and prevent post-nasal drip.
3. Tulsi-Ginger-Black Pepper Decoction: Boil 5 Tulsi leaves + 1 inch ginger + 5 black peppercorns in 2 cups of water, reduce to half, strain and sip warm twice daily.
4. Camphor or Clove Inhalation: Keep a few crushed cloves or camphor in a small cloth pouch and inhale mildly when nose feels blocked.
5. Warm Sesame Oil Massage: Gently massage sesame oil on the nose bridge, forehead, and cheek area before sleep — helps relieve sinus pressure and improves circulation.
✅ DIET & LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS
