The drug "Euphorbium compositum" is a common homeopathic remedy prescribed for rhinitis.
Runny nose (rhinitis) is dangerous because it often becomes chronic and provokes an inflammatory process in the sinuses.

Among the drugs that are very effective in curing rhinitis, otorhinolaryngologists distinguish euphorbium compositum nasentropfen.
This medicine is characterized restorative, anti-allergic action, besides, it relieves inflammation due to the mineral and plant components that make up its composition. It is characterized by a special effect on the mucous membrane of the nasal sinuses, improving their functionality, so the metabolism is well regulated, the patient opens nasal breathing due to the moisture of the entire mucosa.
When the chronic type is treated, characterized by atrophy and/or desiccation of the mucosa, this remedy promotes the reactivation of the epithelium by moistening it with sodium chloride solution.
The release of breathing is observed on the fourth day of the drug: the condition of the nasal mucosa and its sinuses improves. An important point in the treatment is the exact dosage of the drug without exceeding it. Unlike many vasoconstrictors, this remedy does not cause severe burning and does not dry the mucosa.

Euphorbium compositum is a homeopathic medicine from the German company Heel, intended for use in otorhinolaryngological practice for rhinitis and sinusitis. Today on the Russian pharmaceutical market there are many medicines for the treatment of the common cold - drops, sprays, ointments, etc. They include potent substances: glucocorticosteroids, sympathomimetics, substances with antihistamine activity. Without denying their effectiveness, it is necessary to note a significant number of side effects caused by them, which significantly limit their use in ENT practice. A fundamentally different picture is observed with homeopathic medicines and, in particular, with Euphorbium compositum nasal spray. This drug is not for a momentary effect, but for influencing directly the cause of the disease and, ultimately, for the complete healing of the patient. Its action is determined by the multicomponent composition:
Euphorbia resinous. Reduces the severity of inflammation in the upper respiratory tract, relieves irritation, discomfort (dryness, burning) and pain in infectious lesions of the mucous membranes;
Meadow shooting. Effective for inflammation of the middle ear, pharynx, upper sections of the bronchial tree. Relieves irritation and discomfort;
Luffa covered. Used for allergic rhinitis;
Mercury diiodide. Eliminates inflammation of the nasopharynx, pharynx, tonsils, incl. with copious discharge of exudate;
Sulfur calcium liver. It is used to stop inflammation of the middle ear, abscess of the tonsils, prevents purulent manifestations;
Silver nitrate. Copes well with lesions of the mucous membranes of the pharynx, conjunctiva, middle ear;
The mucous membrane of the nose. Used for chronic inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, polyps;
Sinusitis nosode. Effective for sinusitis, adenoiditis, the so-called. "Fetid runny nose".
Euphorbium compositum has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-exudative, decongestant, immunomodulatory and antiviral (incl.
h. direct) action. The drug does not contain antibiotics, vasoconstrictors, antihistamines and hormonal drugs, which increases its safety profile, improves tolerability, and minimizes the risk of unwanted side effects. Euphorbium compositum is indicated for use in pediatric practice in patients older than 2 years. It can also be used in the elderly and patients with concomitant diseases. Homeopathic preparations from the Heel company are widely used in more than 60 countries of the world. Euphorbium compositum is a one-of-a-kind remedy whose action is not mainly aimed at narrowing the blood vessels of the nose and / or reducing the permeability of their walls, but at restoring the affected mucous membrane. The drug is also effective as a means of preventing acute respiratory infections and influenza. It is equally effective in acute and chronic diseases. Euphorbium compositum does not cause spastic contraction of the vascular walls of the blood vessels of the nose, does not lead to drying of the mucous membranes. With prolonged use of the drug, there is no weakening of its effect caused by addiction. Euphorbium compositum is well combined with other drugs and has no undesirable pharmacological interactions. It has no age or gender restrictions. There are no contraindications to its use, except in cases of individual intolerance and children under 2 years of age. The only possible side effect is rare allergic reactions and cases of hypersalivation (increased salivation). You should be aware that at the initial stage of taking the drug, a temporary deterioration in the patient's condition (the so-called primary deterioration) is possible. In the words of Elena Malysheva, "this is the norm." Cases of overdose with homeopathic remedies are practically excluded, however, it is recommended to adhere to the daily doses declared by the manufacturer in the instructions for use.

Rhinitis is one of the most common diseases of the upper respiratory tract. Unfortunately, many do not think about the fact that a “banal” runny nose with a careless attitude causes serious complications. Modern highly effective drugs will help to avoid this. For example, such as Euphorbium compositum.
Future - for homeopathy?
Homeopathic therapy is becoming more and more popular. And if a couple of years ago he was skeptical, today the situation has changed. And all because they have a lot of advantages compared to. They are harmless, non-addictive, characterized by the absence of contraindications and side effects. All this, combined with high efficiency, allows us to assert that the works of Samuel Hahnemann (the founder of the method) will occupy a worthy position in the medicine of the future.
Euphorbium compositum is a product of the German company Heel, which is very popular with patients of all ages. This forces even the most “unbelieving” doctors to reconsider their views on the treatment of “like with like” (the main principle of homeopathy).
Features of the drug
Euphorbium nasentropfen is a complex remedy for the elimination of the common cold of various etiologies. Release form - spray, drops and solution. It has an anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and restorative effect. This diversity is due to the presence of several active components in the composition.
The use of Euphorbium has a special effect on the paranasal sinuses. As a result:
- the functional activity of the mucous membrane is enhanced;
- metabolic processes are normalized;
- puffiness and sensation disappear;
- easier nasal breathing.
When treating with homeopathic remedies, you should not expect immediate relief. Sometimes it takes several days or even weeks for a visible effect.
Euphorbium: composition
The composition of the drug includes 8 substances. Let's consider some of them:
- euphorbia resinous. A plant widely used in folk medicine. It has a powerful bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect;
- meadow shot. Valued for antimicrobial, anesthetic, antispasmodic properties;
- luffa laxative. Contains vitamins, folic acid, fiber, iron. Included in many products intended for the treatment of diseases of the respiratory system;
- mercury diiodide. A strong antiseptic, prescribed in small quantities for chronic purulent pathologies of the ENT organs;
- silver nitrate. It has been used in medicine since ancient times. Destroys the enzyme systems of pathogens, causing their death. Has astringent, antibacterial, cauterizing, cleansing effect;
- extract from the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity of a pig. It is used for prolonged rhinitis, frontal sinusitis.
Each "ingredient" has certain properties, which together with the use of Euphorbium in the nose, alleviate the symptoms of the disease and return to the usual rhythm of life.
Mercury? It's dangerous!
Particularly attentive patients in the instructions for Euphorbium are likely to be alerted by the presence of mercury and other poisons. You should not be afraid of them, because there are no molecules of starting substances in homeopathic preparations.
The elements indicated in the composition are diluted in a special way. The proportions are indicated in the instructions for use for Euphorbium after the name of the active substance and the Latin letter D. For example, Argentum nitricum D10 or Mercurius bijodatus D8. Not only decimal dilutions are used, but also hundreds, thousandths, etc.
Euphorbium compositum nasentropfen C is applied topically, i.e. not absorbed into the bloodstream. It is prescribed not only for adults, but also for children.
A microscopic dose of a substance diluted dozens or even hundreds of times loses its materiality. As experts say, only the projection of the original component remains, which, nevertheless, has certain healing properties.
More and more high-quality homeopathic medicines appear in our pharmacies, in connection with which the skeptical attitude towards homeopathy both among doctors and patients is gradually replaced by interest. Today, the demand for homeopathic medicines is in no way inferior to the demand for traditional medicines. Euphorbium Compositum is one of the most popular drugs.
Homeopathic medicines and their mechanism of action
The mechanism of action of homeopathic remedies is based on the fact that like cures like. It is believed that any disease is treated with ultra-low doses of substances that cause in large doses in healthy people phenomena similar to a particular disease.
Homeopathic remedies in high doses are tested on healthy people in order to determine the symptoms of what disease they cause. After trials, ultra-low doses of homeopathic remedies are used to treat diseases whose symptoms are caused by large doses. With such treatment, biological processes in the body are stimulated, which leads to the recovery of the patient. It is to such drugs that Euphorbium Compositum belongs.
How does Euphorbium work (according to the manufacturer's instructions)
Euphorbium Compositum is a homeopathic preparation for the treatment of all types of rhinitis (rhinitis), which consists of eight homeopathic remedies of plant and mineral origin. The drug is produced in the form of a nasal spray (Euphorbium Compositum - nasentropfen C), nasal drops in dropper bottles and an injection solution of 2.2 ml in one ampoule (Euphorbium Compositum C) by the pharmaceutical company Heel (Germany), which has been producing for many years homeopathic preparations.
Euphorbium Compositum in any dosage forms relieves inflammatory and allergic processes well, restores the normal state of nasal tissues. All variants of the drug (spray, drops, injection) are intended for the treatment of the common cold. In our pharmacies you can find mostly spray.
The active ingredients of the drug stimulate and moisturize the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity and sinuses in all forms of the common cold. The remedy is especially effective in chronic forms of rhinitis and inflammatory processes of the paranasal sinuses, when the main symptoms of the disease are severe dryness and a decrease in volume (atrophy) of the mucous membrane of these cavities. Euphorbium Compositum does not cause irritation of the nasal mucosa and does not constrict blood vessels.
The stimulating effect relieves dryness and tension in the nasal area, promotes the activation of metabolism in the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity, which in turn leads to recovery (in acute rhinitis) or to the rapid elimination of exacerbation (in chronic rhinitis and).
Euphorbium Compositum is used to treat acute and chronic rhinitis of any origin, it can be used simultaneously with any other drugs, both local and general. But at the same time, the spray and drops act rather slowly: when used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, the therapeutic effect appears on the third day. But the effect, according to numerous reviews of patients, is not transient (as, for example, in symptomatic vasoconstrictor nasal drops such as Naphthyzinum), but long-term.

When can you use the spray and drops
Euphorbium is perfect for the treatment of acute rhinitis that develops against the background of acute respiratory diseases (ARI) of viral or bacterial origin. Stimulation of metabolic processes with the help of the drug leads to an improvement in local immunity, which in turn speeds up recovery. For acute respiratory infections and influenza, it is advisable to use other homeopathic preparations (for example, Gripp-hel, Viburkol) along with Euphorbium Compositum.
But Euphorbium Compositum is even more effective in chronic rhinitis and sinusitis (sinusitis, frontal sinusitis, etc.). According to doctors, it perfectly restores the condition of the nasal mucosa both with its excessive growth (chronic hypertrophic rhinitis) and with a decrease in volume (atrophic rhinitis). In severe chronic rhinitis, Euphorbium treatment is supplemented with the use of homeopathic remedies such as Traumeel C and Engystol.
The drug is of particular importance in the treatment of ozena - chronic atrophic rhinitis, which is accompanied by a sharp atrophy of the mucous membrane and bone and cartilage skeleton of the nose with the formation of fetid crusts in the nose. Ozena is very difficult to treat, Euphorbium (since it stimulates the metabolism) can greatly alleviate the condition of such patients.
