Sinuses are a pair of hollow cavities that lie in the bones of the skull that surround the nasal passages (paranasal sinuses). Sinusitis usually happens due to the blockages in the small tubes connected to the nasal passages. If you suffer from a congested nasal passage or from constant headache, try home remedies in the form of Ayurveda and Homeopathy:
1. Ayurveda: Go for nasyam, an ayurveda panchkarma therapy with Shad Bindu Tailam or Ksheerabala Tailam (101 times). This helps in curing chronic sinusitis. The therapy comprises of steam inhalation (with ajwain or some drops of karpooradivtailam) that releases nasal blockages. Then two drops of either tailams are poured in each nostril. Take a session of this therapy once daily. Also add few drops of Jeevandhara (a mixture of camphor and menthol) to hot water. Inhale the steam. Do this at least twice a day.
2. Homeopathy for sinusitis: Fortify your immune system and eradicate symptoms such as sensitivity to cold air and nasal allergies through homeopathy. It is recommened for curing acute as well as chronic sinusitis. In homeopathy, the best homeopathy medication for sinusititis is Kali Bichromicum. However, the medication should be taken after consulting a professional, practicing homeopath. Also,try Hepar Sulph if you are sensitive to the cold. Go for Pulsatilla in case the discharge is yellowish-green. Try Nux Vomica if you develop sinusitis outdoors. Please take the medication only after homeopathic consultation and advice.
3. Nutrition for sinusitis: Prevent eating refrigerated,fried and starchy foods if you are suffering from sinusitis. Perfumes and scented oils can create more problems. Mix half a spoon of fresh garlic with 2 tsp honey. Regular consumption of this mixture treats sinusitis naturally. Fresh onion juice mixed with honey also helps fight sinusitis. Take 5 gm of black pepper powder mixed with warm milk. It prevents bouts of sinusitis. Boil a few slices of ginger; drink the decoction while it’s lukewarm. It helps clear mucous and blockages. Steam inhalation with ajwain also gives sinusitis relief
