Naphtalinum is a homeopathic remedy that is mainly used in otorhinolaryngology to treat allergies and runny noses.
It allows the treatment of allergic rhinitis and provides a specific treatment for hay fever.
This pathology occurs periodically and manifests itself as a problem of nasal congestion and a strong nasal discharge accompanied by intense itching.
In addition to these otorhinolaryngological symptoms, there is also redness and watering of the eyes.
The person sneezes frequently and has a scratchy throat.
Naphthalene should relieve most of these symptoms in the first few days of treatment.
Ophthalmology
The homeopathic remedy Naphthalinum is also recommended for macular degeneration.
This is a pathology that affects central vision and can have unfortunate consequences for certain related abilities, such as reading or driving.
Naphthalene is also indicated for chorioretinitis pigmentosa, an inflammation of the retina and the membrane covering it.
This condition is particularly common in patients over the age of 50 and is often associated with the development of cataracts.
In some cases, problems of retinal detachment and corneal opacity are observed, causing progressive visual impairment in the patient, who begins to have the impression of having a black veil in front of the eye.
