CHRONIC SINUSITIS & HOMEOPATHY

ei_0386yygChronic sinusitis is a condition in which the sinuses inside our skull become inflamed for months and years together. This condition can considerably reduce ones quality of life. Patients suffering from chronic Sinusitis complain of difficulty in breathing from nose, headaches, pain and tenderness in the face.

Yellow greenish discharges may also be present from the nose and also from the back of the throat. In most cases, this kind of chronic inflammation in the sinuses is caused by underlying allergic reactions to pollen, pet dander, and dust mites, smoke etc. Homeopathic treatment of chronic sinusitis is very effective and has a strong edge over the conventional treatments. This is because homeopathic medicines along with the treatment of sinusitis cure the underlying allergies too. Thus preventing the recurrence of inflammation in sinuses.

Allergy tops the cause-list for chronic and recurrent sinusitis. Other reasons that trigger inflammation in the sinuses are infections like flu, common colds etc. ; blockages in the nose caused by a deviated nasal septum ,polyps and reaction to fungus in air. Sinuses are hollow spaces in our skull (bony structure of the head and the face). There are four pairs of sinuses in our skull. Sinusitis is the inflammation of one or more of these hollow spaces in the skull. These spaces are linked with the nose for free exchange of air by an opening in the nose. It is usually when this opening gets blocked by swelling in the nose due to common cold or allergies that the symptoms of sinusitis develop.

Symptoms of Chronic sinusitis resemble those of acute sinusitis, but usually last much longer and cause more fatigue. The main symptoms of chronic sinusitis are pain in the face and pressure in the areas of forehead, temples, cheeks, and nose and behind the eyes, discharge of a thick yellow or greenish discharge from the nose or down the back of the throat, obstructed and difficult breathing through the nose, diminished sense of smell or taste, frequent Headache (especially in morning), Teeth pain, Fatigue, Cough, and Sore throat.

As homeopathy is a symptom based system of medicine, the prescription is based upon the symptoms presented by the patient. Many symptomatic factors determine the choice of remedy .i.e. the type of discharges from the nose and throat, the sinus that is involved and other factors like the time of the year when this problem increases also its relation to weather. The main homeopathic medicines used for treating chronic sinusitis are Hydrastis, kali bichrome, Silicea and Merc Sol. Luffa Opercula requires a special mention for treating allergies and sinusitis both. Lemna Minor works well in cases where the sinusitis is complicated by nasal polyps.

At times the treatment of underlying allergy may also require a totally different set of medicines. Prescription based on the detailed study of the patient’s physical and mental makeup (which is also called as constitutional prescribing) is at times required to cure the allergy from the base.

  2. I have a chronic condition similar to sinusitis. For over 20 yrs. I get the attack 2-3 times a year, common triggers being stress, weather change, etc.
    Starts with a heavy head for 2 days, with runny blocked nose, sore throat by day 3-4, when I usually have to start antibiotics. By day 5 of antibiotics, I still have a cough and chest congestion, which take another few days to go. I have to take anti allergies which make me drowsy. But I feel very weak and tired ALL the time.
    Please advise if this is chronic sinusitis. And what I can take in homoeopathy . Thanks.

    I have sarcoidosis and a sinus infection, pseudomonas, enabled by the sarcoid’s negative influence on my immune system. I also have several other autoimmune problems, but the sinus infection and accompanying inflammation is most concerning to me. Can you tell me about homeopathic remedies that could fight this problem? If it takes years, that’s OK with me. I’ve been struggling with this for over 15 years already.

  7. I am male patient age 48 years suffering from nasal polyps from 2001. Undergone asurgery 2003 and 2006 respectively. Managing myself with intermittent cortico steroids. Condition gone bad since last ten years. no smell, No taste. Skin problen arising due to fungal infection which appears to be side effect of steroids as it aggravates when I start any steroid. Kindly help me out if there is any way to avoid another surgery. I am also suffering from diebetes type 2 and high blood pressure. Taking Amlong -a since last 6 years

  8. Pushing the envelope is one way that Hollywood and the video game intudsry like to attract attention. Look at the Saw franchise, or the new, violent remakes of classic slasher flicks. Even war movies are becoming unnecessarily violent, but I suppose that’s supposed to impact people.People are becoming more and more indifferent, and it’s taking a whole lot more to cause a shock to their systems and get adrenaline pumping like violence does, so I would guess it’s a tactic to try to draw in a wider audience. The most violent games are also some of the most straightforward (save for horror puzzle games, but horror games tend to be violent regardless of whether or not they sell well), which also explains why they sell so well. They also require much less of a commitment than games with in-depth stories and puzzles (which also sell well, including Skyrim, the GTA series, L.A. Noire, and Zelda and Mario games to name just a few), so they appeal to a wider audience in that guys and girls can just pick up a controller with little effort, and throw themselves into a game that will really give them what they’re asking for.IDK, just my own thoughts on it!

  14. Jena Loomis says:

    my sinus condition started several years ago and is chronic. I sleep … a lot. I feel so congested at times that it’s difficult to breathe and often when I blow my nose, nothing comes out. when it does it ranges anywhere from clear to white to yellow and can be thick or thin. recently I have felt dizzy at night. I don’t have much pain. I have just begun taking Hylands Bioplasma which seems to be breaking things up a little bit. when I use a neti pot it feels like there is a deep area that is not helped by the rinse. thank you in advance for any suggestions. Jena

  15. Peggy Casarez says:

    Dear Dr.
    I have had past sinus infections…but have been free of them for several years. Three weeks ago I had a virus which immediately became a serious sinus infection. I took an antibiotic which cleared infection but the swelling/drainage/pressure will not clear up. I am 75 & do have allergies to dairy/citrus/walnuts/peanuts.. Which I totally avoid.
    Is there a homeopathic solution for me???
    Many thanks, p. c.
