@saigurucharan - By culprit do you mean a cause for SOB? Dry nose usually indicates a lack of mucus in the nasal cavities. It is usually an excess amount of mucus that can cause problems. There many number of things that can dry nasal passages.

USA products are excellent. I would hesitate to put ghee in my nose. Gels and sprays are balanced with enough sodium to help nasal passages to achieve a homeostasis. I've been using them for years. Can you even get them in India?

@merpreb Yes, we do get everything in India, however, I now live in US. It is not necessary that mucus causes SOB. Mucus moistens and warms inhaled air and keeps the mucus membrane cells and the little hairs called "cilia" lubricated. Lack of mucus also causes SOB, please read over it. Your case could be completely different than mine, but however, when I moved to US, because of the heaters and the A/C, my nose goes dry very easily. Doctors in US don't give a damn about the dryness. I know US healthcare better than anyone else as I have personally experienced things and I work for a school of med. Nothing is diagnosed very easily in US. However, the procedures are very sophisticated after the years of trials and definite diagnosis, because it is evidence driven healthcare, which is good, but not for everyone who needs quick diagnosis and has no time or knowledge to research as much.
Ghee has the same qualities that you have mentioned to me in gels and sprays. I used it and I got better for sure, but it is all up to you and your condition and yes, please contact any ayurvedic physicians before you start using anything that is mentioned in the forum. Also, look into Nasya Oils.
