Inflammation of the mucous membranes can occur in various places: the mouth, throat, stomach, intestines or urinary tract are often affected by inflammation of the mucous membranes. Infection is usually the cause of inflamed mucous membranes. Inflammation of the mucous membranes can occur as a side effect as part of cancer treatment or when taking certain medications.
Homeopathic remedies are primarily used to alleviate the symptoms of mucosal diseases. They are intended to mitigate the consequences of the infection and contribute to faster healing.
