Standard errors when treating a runny nose
Very often, at the first symptoms of rhinitis, people immediately go to the pharmacy with the phrase: “Give me some drops for a runny nose.” However, before purchasing any product, you need to know the causes of a runny nose. Otherwise, the condition may only get worse. After all, rhinitis can appear against the background of allergies or a cold, or it can also be the cause of inflammation of the paranasal sinuses.
Many people ignore medication instructions, which increases the number of complications by 60%. Problems also arise if people abuse vasoconstrictor drops. When a huge amount of the drug enters the nasopharynx, blood microcirculation is disrupted. This leads to dependence on the drug.
It is also a mistake that many people suffer from colds on their feet. Instead of getting treatment at home, they run to work. And regular bed rest can cure a cold in a couple of days.
Devices for the treatment of runny nose
Also today, devices for treating runny nose at home are very fashionable. Basically, they are light bulbs of different colors, to which manufacturers and sellers attribute miraculous abilities to influence the nasal mucosa at the cellular level, destroy inflammatory agents and quickly relieve a runny nose. There are many such devices available:
- Rinobeam
- Bionase
- Atmos Antirunny nose
Atmos Antirunny nose device
...and the like. These devices are not effective in treating a runny nose and you can buy them when you have nowhere else to spend your money. The runny nose itself is guaranteed to go away without treatment.
A truly effective device for treating a runny nose at home is a household humidifier. It is its work that ensures breathing with normal moist air, prevents mucus from drying out in the nose and accelerates the removal of remaining bacteria, viruses, pus, allergens and dust from it.
Obviously, all these products, except for universal saline solution and a humidifier, should be used strictly according to indications and in cases where they really help. If you are not sure which remedy will help you in a particular situation, it makes sense to consult a doctor at least for a diagnosis. Rest assured, the doctor will almost certainly prescribe you remedies that you can safely treat a runny nose at home. It is extremely unlikely that even with severe rhinitis you will be admitted to the hospital.
Read on to learn how to properly use the remedies discussed above to treat a runny nose at home.
Popular drop recipes
Today there are a number of effective recipes for the treatment of rhinitis that you can make yourself.
These simple recipes will help not only completely get rid of a runny nose, but also prevent the disease from returning.
From Kalanchoe and other plants
Kalanchoe and aloe are used for a variety of problems.
They heal wounds well and help against bedsores. And of course, they are used as remedies for rhinitis.
Drops recipes
Kolanchoe and aloe juice can be used in their pure form by kneading the leaves and stem of the plant with your hands. Place the resulting mixture in cheesecloth and squeeze out the juice. Place aloe or colanchoe into the nose, but no more than five drops per day. You can also mix aloe and Kalanchoe juices in equal parts. Place no more than three drops per day into your nose.
You can mix onion juice and aloe. The cooking principle is the same as in previous recipes, only the proportions are different. There is one part onion to two parts aloe. If a person is very sensitive or a child is being treated, then you can prepare a decoction of Kolanchoe at home. The leaves and stem are steamed with a small amount of boiling water. As soon as the tincture has cooled, it must be filtered, and you can bury it in your nose, but no more than 3 times a day.
But the most effective remedy prepared at home is considered to be a mixture of colanchoe or aloe juice and honey.
Contraindications
Like any other traditional or official medicine, Kalanchoe and aloe have their own contraindications for use at home:
Medicines from these plants are not recommended for use during pregnancy. They should not be used by people with low blood pressure or people with any type of allergies. And, of course, you should not overdo it and violate the recommended dosage.
Homeopathic drops
The mechanism of action of homeopathic medicines is complex. Any homeopathic medicine has a complex effect, and nasal drops are no exception. Homeopathic drops relieve swelling of the mucous membrane (not as effective as vasoconstrictor drugs, but they do), have anti-inflammatory, antiviral and immunostimulating effects. In addition, homeopathic drops have no side effects or contraindications. True, they must be used strictly according to the scheme. Among such drops, the following are very popular: “Edas-131”, “Delufen”, “Euphorbium compositum”.
Essential oils for runny nose
Essential oils are often used in folk medicine; they can help cope with a runny nose at home.
Preparation and use
For the future remedy for the common cold, you will need a glass container, preferably with dark glass. The bottle must be rinsed well. If the container previously contained essential oil, first pour alcohol into it and then rinse with hot water.
The basis for the product can be grape seed, olive or avocado oil. The base oil is poured into the bottle and essential oils are added.
At the first signs of incipient rhinitis, tea tree oil, eucalyptus or lavender oil are suitable. For 10 ml of base substance, add 1 ml of essential oil.
For a runny nose, when the discharge is already thick and yellow-green in color, add 2 ml of essential oil per 10 ml. It can be sage, basil or lavender. For rhinitis, when the nose is completely blocked, it is difficult to clear it and it is impossible to breathe, you can dilute the mixture:
2 drops each of rosemary and juniper, geranium; 1 drop each of sage and peppermint oil.
If your nose smells perfectly, but the cold has not yet subsided, then basil oil will do. You can also use a mixture of basil, eucalyptus and tea tree. All essential oils are added to the base, 2 drops each. You can bury your nose with a mixture of camphor oil and menthol. The ingredients are added in a 1:1 ratio. You need to instill 2-3 drops into one nostril.
Mode of application
Instill the finished product 1-2 drops into one nostril. Frequency of use per day – no more than 4 times. All means can be adjusted to suit yourself.
If you are intolerant to any oil, you can remove it or replace it with another. Nasal drops can be prepared at home from one oil, simply increasing its dosage.
Method two: rinsing and lubricating the nose
Rinsing the nose is useful because it disinfects the nasal mucosa, improving its blood circulation, and it is also good for lubricating it. When rinsing, breathing through the nose becomes easier, mucus is well liquefied and sputum is removed.
Recipes for solutions for rinsing and lubricating the nose:
- In a glass of warm water, stir 1/3 teaspoon of salt and 1 - 2 drops of iodine. It is always better to choose sea salt. You can rinse your nose with the solution several times a day. A regular salt solution is good for rinsing a runny nose caused by allergies. Salt expels the allergen from the nasal passage.
- The solution can be made with soda, also by mixing a teaspoon of it with warm water. If you don’t have soda, you can replace it with furatsilin.
- Add a few drops of essential oil or tincture of eucalyptus or calendula to the salt solution. Rinse your nose with this product several times a day.
- A good folk remedy for a runny nose is rinsing the nose with beetroot juice, you can even ferment it.
- Calamus root, which needs to be ground into flour, and dipping your finger into it, lubricates the walls of the nose, is quite popular. Your nose will stop running on the second day.
- Cut the onion into small cubes, mix with vegetable oil and let it brew. After this, lubricate each nostril with this tincture several times a day.
Tip: You can rinse your nose by syringing, or by pouring the solution into a bowl and bending over it, pulling the liquid through one nostril so that it comes out through the mouth, and then the other. Before rinsing your nose, you need to blow your nose well.

When choosing components, it is important to consider the presence of allergies, age restrictions or other contraindications for use.
When manufacturing the product, sterility must be observed. Ready drops are stored in the refrigerator for no longer than a day (oil drops up to 3 days). Now let's move directly to the recipes.
Kalanchoe is an indispensable helper
A potted plant that is found in almost every home. Kalanchoe leaves and stems have antimicrobial properties, induce sneezing and help effectively cleanse the sinuses. To make drops, you need to wrap the crushed leaf in gauze and squeeze thoroughly. Use any available means for this. Adults can apply up to 5 drops into each nostril three times a day.

Onion remedy
There are many variations of drops with the juice of the named vegetable for a runny nose. Onions are famous for their powerful antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. If you have a cold, you can simply place it cut up in the room. But it is much more effective to prepare drops.

Onions are good for nasal congestion and frequent sneezing, but are harmful for rhinorrhea (increased formation and secretion of mucus, for example, in the cold). After using the medicine, a short-term burning sensation and lacrimation may occur.
Beet and carrot juices
These vegetables can be found in everyone's refrigerator. Both carrots and beets have bactericidal properties, improve blood supply to tissues, and eliminate congestion. Let's figure out how to prepare the medicine.
Recipe. Peel the fresh vegetable, grate it on a fine grater, and squeeze out the pulp. Before use, dilute the juice half and half with water. Place 2 drops into the nasal passage three times a day. For crusts in the nasal cavity, it is recommended to replace the water with vegetable oil.
Drops with essential oils
This recipe can be used for any runny nose, except allergies. Drops with essential oils heal, prevent drying of the mucous membrane, increase local immunity, slightly relieve swelling and fight inflammation. They do not have an immediate effect like vasoconstrictors. For visible results, treatment is recommended for 7–10 days.
Let's figure out how to make drops with essential oils at home. Recipes.
- Mix a teaspoon of olive or sunflower oil with 2 drops of tea tree oil, the same amount of geranium and bergamot oil. Add 3 drops each of eucalyptus and cedar oils and mix. Apply 1 drop into each nasal passage 2-3 times a day.
- Take 5 drops of eucalyptus, mint, and tea tree oils and mix well. Inject 1-2 drops into each nostril in the morning and evening.
Advice. Oil solutions are recommended to be used at night after cleansing the nasal cavity.
Garlic for a runny nose
The vegetable has bactericidal and antiviral properties, promotes better mucus separation, and helps get rid of nasal congestion. To prepare garlic-based drops, you must follow these steps.
Pass one or two cloves through a crush, pour the mixture with 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil (boiled). After 2 hours, strain the garlic mixture through cheesecloth. Drops are used no more than 3 times a day, 1-2 in each nasal passage.
Advice. If after using a home remedy you feel a burning sensation, lacrimation, or increased swelling, the nasal cavity should be rinsed with saline and take the antiallergic drug Diazolin or Suprastin.
Rinse your nose with sea salt
In addition to nasal drops, rinsing the nose with homemade products also helps.
The simplest thing is sea salt. It is diluted with water and the nose is washed with this solution. This simple method allows you to thoroughly cleanse the maxillary sinuses and quickly get rid of rhinitis. The main thing is that the saline solution should be weak. A huge amount of salt will not help get rid of a runny nose faster, but will only burn the nasal mucosa, as yogis say. And the product based on sea salt came precisely from the East. The saline solution should not be cooler than human blood.
The salt in the solution must dissolve well, boiling water should not be used, and the water for dilution should not be hotter than 42 °C. When rinsing at home, you do not need to sniff the solution through your nose, as you may choke. The product should flow smoothly from one nostril to the other. The salt concentration per glass should not be more than 1 teaspoon. For children, there should be even less salt.

A runny nose is a frequent companion in the autumn-spring period. Temperature fluctuations, cold rains and wind predispose to nasal congestion and rhinorrhea. If nothing bothers you other than a runny nose, you can try to cope with the disease on your own.
In treatment, you can use proven medications recommended by traditional medicine. To make nasal breathing easier, you can prepare nasal drops at home. We'll talk about the methods below.
The cause of deterioration of the condition may be:
cold; infection; allergy; unfavorable working and living conditions; vasomotor rhinitis; adenoiditis; sinusitis.
Each of us is familiar with difficult nasal breathing, when nasal sounds appear, it is impossible to sleep and work normally. Depending on the underlying cause of the disease, you may also experience:
rhinorrhea. The discharge may be thick, watery, profuse, scanty, transparent, yellowish or green; hyperthermia; lacrimation; photophobia; headache; body aches; severe malaise; irritability; poor appetite.
If treatment of rhinitis is ineffective or untimely, there is a risk of serious complications (sinusitis, otitis media, tonsillitis, bronchitis).
Folk remedies are effective only at the initial stage of the disease. If the disease cannot be stopped using alternative methods, it is recommended to consult a doctor to determine further treatment tactics.
As practice shows, it is most often possible to eliminate a runny nose with the help of aloe, onions, garlic and vegetable juices. Now let's look in more detail at each of the traditional methods of treatment.
Oil drops
These remedies are used when the mucus in the nose completely dries out or when wounds and ulcers appear there.
Preparation rules: many natural vegetable oils can be used as oil drops, as well as vaseline oil and oil solutions of vitamins A and E. Usually peach, fir, sea buckthorn, olive, eucalyptus, and tea tree oils are used for this purpose. They can be mixed in any proportions, and this will not affect the final result.
On a note
By the way, the same oil solutions of vitamins are made on the basis of peach oil, and many homeopathic remedies are almost pure petrolatum oil.
Action: oils soften the crusts that form and promote rapid healing of damage.
It is also useful to read: Spray for a runny nose with an antibiotic: the whole truth about such remedies
The resulting effect: when using oil drops, wounds in the nose heal faster, and the crusts peel off and are removed earlier.
A pipette is usually used to instill oil into the nose.
Directions for use: oil drops are instilled into the nose only when the mucus is completely dry and there is no snot. If mucus itself is present, it softens and moisturizes the nose much more effectively than oils, but the use of the latter can lead to disturbances in the process of mucus removal and even greater blockage of the nose.
In general, it is not worth treating a runny nose with oil drops. Their area of use is the consequences of rhinitis or improper treatment, complete drying of mucus in the nose.
Aloe
Thanks to its powerful antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and regenerating properties, agave is widely used not only in otolaryngology, but also in cosmetology and surgical practice.
The plant contains bioflavonoids, the action of which is aimed at reducing vascular permeability. Aloe is often prescribed for vascular pathology, but for a runny nose it is also effective because it reduces the severity of tissue edema.
The fact is that the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms into the mucous membrane of the nasal passages is accompanied by damage to local capillaries. The wall of blood vessels becomes more permeable, as a result of which the liquid part of the plasma escapes into the tissue, increasing edema and rhinorrhea.
Regular use of aloe helps strengthen the vascular wall. The juice contains vitamins (E, B, C), zinc, carotenoids. The complex of natural components makes it possible to moisturize the mucous membrane, normalize its nutrition, reduce the severity of the inflammatory process and activate regeneration. Do not forget about the antimicrobial property of agave, thanks to which the medicine can be used for infectious rhinitis, including purulent runny nose.
Rules for making juice
To prepare drops for the common cold, you must use a plant that is at least three years old, as it must contain the optimal amount of nutrients. Aloe leaves should be dense and fleshy. The leaf needs to be cut off near the base, washed and wrapped in newspaper. In this form, agave should be stored in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Then you should take out the plant and carefully peel it, removing a thin layer of peel. Aloe needs to be crushed and then squeezed out the juice.
Healthy recipes
Please note that undiluted juice is very concentrated and may cause irritation.
There are several recipes for preparing drops:
In order for aloe juice to be safe to use, it should be diluted with boiled water to obtain a 50% concentration. Adults are recommended to instill three drops three times a day. As for children, the dilution should be greater - 1:3, to reduce the risk of irritation of the mucous membrane; juice can be diluted with antiseptic solutions, for example, Chlorhexidine, Miramistin. In this case, the effectiveness of the medicine increases several times. It can be used for complicated bacterial rhinitis, as well as exacerbation of chronic runny nose. The dilution should be 1:1 or 1:3 (depending on the strength of the effect you want to get); pure aloe juice is prescribed in exceptional cases when it is necessary to obtain a powerful antimicrobial effect; the combination of aloe with peach oil allows you to additionally moisturize, protect the mucous membrane and activate regeneration processes. Typically, this remedy is recommended for the atrophic form of rhinitis, when the mucous membrane becomes thinner and dries out. To make your own healing mixture, just mix 1 ml of juice with 4 drops of oil.
If after instillation of the nasal passages a burning sensation appears, it is necessary to rinse them with saline solution. This is necessary to stop the absorption of the drug into the mucous membrane. Next time you can prepare nasal drops with a lower concentration of juice.
If you experience sneezing, itching, or increased rhinorrhea, you should suspect an allergy to the plant. The duration of the therapeutic course is usually 5 days.
Garlic
A popular treatment is garlic juice. It is widely used for colds that are accompanied by a runny nose. The effectiveness of this medicine is due to the content of a large amount of phytoncides. They are able to quickly cleanse the nasal cavities of germs and reduce inflammation in the tissues.
Note that the use of garlic drops is justified only for bacterial rhinitis. This remedy is absolutely ineffective for allergic, vasomotor rhinitis.
Garlic Drops Recipes
In the treatment of an adult, you can use garlic juice diluted with boiled water 1:3. You should instill the nasal passages no more than twice, two drops each. It is recommended to avoid this remedy if you have a runny nose, atrophic rhinitis, or an allergy to garlic.
To reduce the irritating effect of juice, you can use the following folk remedies:
4 drops of garlic juice should be dissolved in 5 ml of olive oil. You can also use peach, fir or sea buckthorn oil; two large cloves need to be chopped using a garlic press, poured with olive oil (1:3), and left for half an hour in a water bath. After cooling, you can instill two drops into your nasal passages.
The use of honey for microbial rhinitis is not advisable, since this product is a breeding ground for infectious pathogens.
To prepare the healing remedy, you must use fresh garlic, which will allow you to achieve the desired result in a short period of time.
Restrictions on use
The main disadvantage of garlic drops is the high risk of irritation and burns of the mucous membrane.
In this regard, it is not recommended to use the medicine:
children under 10 years of age; when the mucous membrane dries out, which will aggravate the course of the disease; with severe rhinorrhea, when watery discharge is a sign of allergy.
Onion medicines
Compared to garlic drops, onion juice is a safer method of treatment. Of course, you shouldn’t expect a quick effect, because onion-based folk remedies act much more mildly than pharmaceutical drugs.
The natural composition of onion juice allows you to achieve anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and analgesic effects. Thanks to vitamins, immune defense is strengthened, as a result of which the body can independently fight infection.
Homemade onion drops reduce swelling of the mucous membrane, facilitate nasal breathing, eliminate infection and improve the outflow of mucus.
Recipes
To prepare medicine with your own hands, it does not require a lot of effort, time and material resources. Here are some simple recipes:
the easiest way to cook. The onion should be peeled and chopped using a grater. You need to squeeze the juice out of the resulting pulp and dilute it with boiled water (1:1). Instill two drops three times. If the medicine causes a burning sensation after contact with the mucous membrane of the nasal passages, it should be washed off with saline solution. Next time you need to prepare a product with a lower concentration of onion juice;
For colds, you can use onions with honey. The recipe includes one medium-sized onion, boiled water (160 ml), and honey (15 ml). It is best to give preference to linden honey. First, you should peel the vegetable, chop it and squeeze the juice out of the pulp. Approximately 60 ml. Now mix the juice with water and add melted honey. The medicine should sit for about half an hour, after which treatment can begin. One instillation requires three drops. The procedure can be repeated 4 times per day; the combination of onions and oil allows you to moisturize the mucous membrane, improve nutrition and speed up tissue restoration. To prepare runny nose drops at home, you need an onion and 90 ml of vegetable oil. First you need to prepare the ingredients. To do this, chop the onion to a paste-like consistency, add oil and mix thoroughly. The product should sit overnight, then squeeze out the juice; for severe runny nose, including purulent type, a combination of aloe and onion is recommended. To prepare a medicine for the nose at home, you need to chop the vegetable, squeeze out the juice, and combine with aloe (1:1). Using such a remedy is quite dangerous, as there is a risk of irritation of the mucous membrane and increased rhinorrhea. In this regard, before instillation, it is necessary to dilute the mixture with boiled water (1:1). Now you can put three drops in your nose.
Before instilling the drug into the nasal passages, they should be cleaned with saline solution.
Contraindications
Please note that onion products, despite their natural composition, also have some limitations in use. Onion juice is not recommended for:
allergic reaction to onions; violation of the integrity of the mucous membrane (scratches); thermal damage to nasal tissues; bloody runny nose; drying out of the mucous membrane.
Remember, onion remedy can only be used fresh. When stored, it loses its healing properties.
Homemade nasal drops for sinusitis
Many people, when they discover they have sinusitis, go for surgery.

Take equal parts potato juice, blue onion juice, and melted honey.
Everything is mixed and buried during a runny nose.
This product should be stored in the refrigerator.
The nasopharynx itself must be washed with a mixture of beet juice, salt and water.
I diluted the beet juice with water and sprinkled in a little salt.
Sometimes I used lemon juice instead of beets.
Although you can also use herbal teas, for example, decoctions of sage or chamomile, be sure to add a little salt.
This is how sinusitis is treated at home.

Cover your head with a warm cloth to keep warm longer.
Once the napkin has cooled down, take another one and do the same procedure again.
And continue like this until the broth in the pan remains warm.
At least it should be enough for 3 procedures.
The optimal time for the procedure is before bed, just to clear your sinuses.

And then she was advised to buy honey combs from the beekeepers, that is, the wax caps of honeycombs.
During an exacerbation, you just need to chew a tablespoon of this wax.
Honey itself does not heal; it is quickly eaten, but unsweetened and hard wax remains.
This wax has healing properties in the treatment of sinusitis.
Therefore, it is necessary to purchase a couple of large jars of zabrus in the summer and chew it once a day from September 1 to May 31.

Beet juice
A cure for a runny nose at home can be prepared from beetroot juice. It is effective for colds, but is useless for allergic rhinitis. As for the infectious form, beet juice can become a stimulant for the spread of infection. The recipe requires choosing beets that are dark in color, cylindrical in shape, and have no light rings. Note that beets dilate local blood vessels, so you should not expect rhinorrhea to stop after using the juice.
Recipes
To prepare a healing remedy, it is better to use fresh beets, since boiled ones contain fewer nutrients. First, you should wash the vegetable, peel it, and chop it using a fine grater. Now the resulting pulp needs to be ground through cheesecloth to obtain juice. If possible, you can use a juicer.
Place the beet juice in the refrigerator for several hours. The juice cannot be used in its pure form, so for dilution you can take:
boiled warm water, a volume equal to beet juice. Drop two drops three times into the nasal passages; melted honey, the amount of which is three times the juice.
We will describe the combined recipe in more detail. It includes equal volumes of carrot and beet juice, olive oil, and a few drops of garlic juice.
All ingredients should be cleaned, crushed and squeezed out the juice. First, mix vegetable juices, add oil (1:2), garlic drops. For treatment, you should instill two drops of the prepared healing agent twice a day.
First aid for a runny nose
It should not be ruled out that a runny nose can appear not only from infection and at the first symptoms of the disease, but also as a protective reaction when dust gets into the nasal sinuses.
- The first step is to clear your nose of mucus. To do this, you can use a special device (aspirator) or simply blow your nose yourself. The latter is contraindicated for people with weak capillaries to avoid severe bleeding.
- Lie on your back, tilt your head back slightly and raise your feet about 5-10 cm from the surface of the bed (you can put your feet on a pillow). Place a warm soft cloth on the bridge of your nose, for example, an ironed scarf, a heated dry cloth, or a silicone face mask. You can use hard-boiled eggs or bags of heated salt.
- Use your fingers to massage the bridge of your nose, temples and the point between your eyebrows (moving down towards the bridge of your nose).
- If you feel stuffy, try regular tempo squats.
- For a runny nose and nasal congestion, use grated boiled potatoes while they are still warm.
Potatoes can be replaced with paraffin or candle wax, but you need to act extremely carefully, since this method of fighting a runny nose with folk remedies can lead to interest in how to deal with burns at home for burns on the face.
Prevention
The listed recipes can only be used for medicinal purposes. For prevention, it is recommended to use saline solutions. They are necessary for washing the nasal passages, which allows you to clean, moisturize the mucous membrane, protect it from the negative influence of environmental factors and facilitate nasal breathing.
In addition, do not forget about strengthening the immune system. To do this, it is necessary to improve nutrition, devote enough time to sleep, regularly walk in the fresh air and carry out hardening procedures.
