This article will decode the psychological meaning and homeopathic treatment of the nose according to the research of Antonie Peppler, the founder of Creative Homeopathy, and her study of symptom language.
According to her interpretation, “symptom language” is a form of somatic communication—the “soma” (meaning the material body) or the subconsciousness by utilizing the physical body communicates an internal conflict that the person must become aware of to balance himself. This balancing movement is based on the understanding that health is a natural state which comes with mental, physical, and spiritual equilibrium.
The psychological meaning of the nose
The nose is considered a sign of personality and courage to live in all cultures. Thereby it is exceptionally evaluated like in the German proverb “to carry the nose high,” which is understood as pride. The man’s nose is further associated, correctly or falsely, is to be left open, corresponding in size and shape to his reproduction organ. On the other hand, the primary function, the smell, symbolizes a primal organ for assessing first contact. Thus, the statement that “one cannot smell someone” has a double meaning.
In German, we also use the paraphrase that one “should touch his own nose” when confronted with accusations that seem to be projections by the one who is blaming us. Through the nose, we present our personality, and when we “touch our nose,” we make contact with ourselves and question our character.

The importance of pimples on the nose
The psychological meaning of pimples on the nose is a clear indicator for others. We signal that our personality is agitated, which we can’t show directly. In doing so, we show – for example, with a pimple on our nose – our anger about the fact that our personality may or may not be recognized.

The psychological meaning of nasal fracture
A nasal fracture is psychologically associated with self-doubt in the form of “questioning oneself” and a profound impact on the personality structure, which potentially causes such questions. The individuals with such a condition mainly questioned their character unconsciously due to negative feedback from their peers.

The psychological meaning of a red nose
The psychological meaning of a red nose is associated with suppressed emotional hurt. It is generally considered a symbol of representation of one’s personality, a beacon: If it is hot and inflamed, we become more honest. For example, in the case of alcoholics under the effect of alcohol: the suppressed creativity becomes more accessible, and the person becomes more genuine.
The red nose indicates that the individual is “burning” to be recognized and show his personality. Thus, the character does not feel acknowledged but is often disregarded and disgraced. The homeopathic remedies for treating a red nose give us a hind regarding the underlying psychological imprints.

Coldness, particularly a cold nose, is psychologically associated with frustration.

The meaning of cough, cold, and hoarseness
Coughing due to having a cold with related symptoms like hoarseness is mainly connected with weather shifts—the “wind of change” blows. One freeze and fears not being recognized or kept from one’s goals. Fever symbolizes anger about it. The red nose indicates the demands of the desire for acknowledgment of one’s own personality and respect. One has had enough and coughs, which is a form of barking at something or the others because one does not want to suffer anymore or does not feel like making another noise.
Some “frog in the throat” becomes a full-grown toad, which no longer modestly clears its throat or coughs but is loudly “barking” and demands recognition. The mental disposition present in a person suffering from a cold is represented by the homeopathic remedies used for treatment and their psychological meaning.
Homeopathic treatment of Acute Rhinitis
Acute rhinitis symbolizes a psychological state of overwhelming discontent. The German emblematic proverb: “Having a nose full” indicates that someone is fed-up with a particular situation. The nose tingles, and we withdraw. The impairment of our personality or the “frosty” contact with each other makes us do so.
We rack our brains, which is indicated by headaches, but even “slimy friendly” interaction, symbolized by a running nose, can’t change anything: We have – proverbially and symbolically – had enough. We often can’t and don’t want to smell the others anymore, and our red nose shows how hurt and little-recognized our personality is. Just as there are many possible reasons why a person can have a “nose full,” many helpful homeopathic remedies correspond to the underlying psychological imprints.

Homeopathic treatment of Chronic Rhinitis
Chronic rhinitis is based on the same conflicts as in an acute phase but is much more suppressed and pushed into the unconscious. A chronic illness is always the manifestation of a heavily evaluated theme, which has reoccurred in frequent repetitions.
Regardless of the topic behind the personality violation, the history of such an infringement on the true inner self can only be interrupted via the resolution of the suppressed theme/trauma and the associated belief system. In doing so, however, it is helpful to strengthen the personality and bring it back from thinking to feeling. Mind and logic need to be balanced with feeling, emotions, and intuition. The following homeopathic remedies support the treatment.

Homeopathic treatment of sinusitis
Sinus catarrh, called sinusitis, can be classified into two manifestations in different areas—in the frontal and maxillary sinuses. Generally, the psychological root of this condition is indicated by over-friendliness and “slimy (mucous) behavior,” constricting and clogging the sinuses.
the psychological meaning of the Frontal Sinuses
If the frontal sinuses are affected, one should have stood up to someone and allowed the conflict instead of considering all possibilities repeatedly without acting. In the process, the pressure becomes greater and greater. Painful congestion results: one “racks one’s brain” and wants to impose a rational solution (forehead headache). One’s own “slimy” adaptation has hardened, manifested itself, and settled into a pattern of behavior.
Commitment and security thinking are more important than fulfilling one’s own needs. The individual with frontal sinusitis attempts to obtain the most outstanding possible security and protection of and from others through mind control. In the process, one’s own accurate inherent requirements become increasingly ignored.
Homeopathic remedies for Frontal Sinuses
- Kalium bichromicum = Acting slimy friendly, ignoring one’s own needs
- Kalium iodatum = Ignores the feeling of not being loved
- Silicea = Mentally dominated, feelings are pushed away by injury
- Sticta pulmonaria = The serving cleaning lady
the psychological meaning of the maxillary sinuses
If the maxillary sinuses located under the cheekbone are affected, the expression and distinctive feature of one’s personality has been violated. To show one’s true self is distressing, which is indicated by facial pain. One does not dare to show contour or perceive and/or present oneself in one’s difference. Thereby, the nose is “chronically full” because no action is taken, and no change is initiated.
If one bends, the pressure becomes unbearable in the short term. The individual needs to straighten up, which is meant in a double sense, This metaphorical and physical movement supports the process and eases the pain. Recurring sniffles—being slime-friendly again—brings short-term relief but does not dissolve the more profound subject matter, which is often hidden in suppressed or unconscious trauma. The underlying imprints can be found in the psychological meaning of the homeopathic remedies used to treat the maxillary sinuses.

- Paris quadrifolia = Taking responsibility for others, for belonging to a group
- Phosphorus = The traumatized life force, always the same
- Silicea = Mentally dominated, feelings are pushed away by injury
- Verbascum thapsus = Fear of violence, the human being overrides
The homeopathic meaning of atrophic rhinitis: ozaena
The homeopathic meaning of atrophic rhinitis, also called ozaena, is associated with an individual retreating into loneliness. Atrophic, dissolving decay of the personality, slimy friendliness for one’s own protection is no longer endured. Withdrawal and turning away.
The constant sensation in the nose makes it irrevocably clear to others that they “stink” to the person. Ozaena is usually of syphilitic origin and symbolizes pleasure and joy (not only in the sexual sense) are generally rejected. The subconsciously engraved imprint that suffering and anguish have a high value in life is rooted in religious doctrines in family belief structures.
