Those membranes are located inside the nose and their purpose is to maintain the level of humidity inside the nose so that the entrance of the viruses and bacteria could be stopped.
These membranes also contain a lot of blood vessels which become wider or tighter depending on the different factors. Most often they get dilated because some external irritation, such as pollen of some food triggers or germs.

In some cases, especially when the small children suffer from the blocked nose it is good to light up the cardamom seeds and then make the child to inhale its smoke. The smoke from the burning of the black pepper seeds is also very beneficial and effective remedy. The 3rd way of inhaling is to keep the inhaler near or on the pillow by night, when sleeping, and for that purpose, the best remedy is the carom seeds.
