Most of the Siddha home remedies for nose are external. There may be fumes you need to inhale or oil to be applied in the affected areas.
For postnasal drip or rhinorrhea or simple runny nose, light up coconut husk (the fiber outer portion) and inhale the ensuing smoke.
Crush thyme (omam in Tamil) and inhale it. This also helps stop the nasal discharge.
For nasal bleed, instil 2-3 drops of water mixed with alum into the nose.
Soak turmeric in linseed oil. Hold this turmeric over fire preferably a lamp. Inhale the smoke that emanates from it. This also helps runny nose.
Drops for sinus. Pepper, chillies, 25 gm each, and 1/8 litre of ginger extract, adathoda leaf (adathoda vasica) extract, and thoothuvalai leaf (Solanum tribolatum) extract each along with 25 gm of garlic are taken together. Crush the solid elements and add this to 250 mg of linseed oil and heat the whole preparation. After allowing it to boil, cool and filter the oil. Store the oil in a bottle. Before going to bed, take around 15 – 20 drops in hand and inhale the oil into the nostrils. This will result in sneezing and expulsion of water and phlegm. After a good bout of sneezing, drink a glass of water and go to bed. (Obviously this should not be done immediately after supper). Do this for 2-3 nights for sinus congestion.

Ayurveda Herbs and Sinus Congestion
This article is in response to Baahjan’s comments. Thank you Baahjan for your comments. Regarding your “neer” problem (sinus congestion) one famous remedy is inhalation of medicated vapour, “vedhu” in Tamil.
For this you will have to boil water in a wide mouthed steel vessel. If you prefer the more traditional way you can use an earthen vessel which people in rural South India use to make curry. A handful of nochi leaves, adathoda leaves, thumbai leaves are enough. Drop these herbs onto the boiling water and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove the water from fire and keep it covered.
Simultaneously burn a fresh dry brick piece (about the size of a cricket ball) to red heat for about 10 minutes over fire. Using a pair of tongs, drop this red hot brick into the hot herbal water. This helps to keep the water hot.
Now crouching over the hot herbal water, cover yourself with a thick blanket. Do not get too close to the vessel. Exercise care so as not to get burnt. Inhale deeply both through your mouth and nose. You will sweat profusely, the earthy aroma would be a heady experience.
After a few minutes of inhalation, come out of the blanket, and move into an airy space. Towel yourself using a fine dry cloth.
Throw away the water.
After 10 to 15 minutes, have some warm water and go to bed.
For best results, this should be done preferably in the night.
This should solve your sinus congestion problems.
Another remedy is to take quite a quantity of nochi leaves (to make a sort of small pillow) and heat them in a mud pot. Once the leaves are a little brown, take all the heated leaves and make it into a small pillow using a pillow cover. Sleep over it for a couple of nights.
Above all, please consult your physician before going for any of these. This is for information purpose only.
