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.

    Dear Dr. Sharma: I have had sinusitis for two years. My symptoms are chronic stuffy nose, inability to move air in or out of my left nare, headache, teeth pain, feeling of heaviness in my head, sneezing, burning eyes and a chronic runny nose (watery) and post nasal drip (thick, viscous, clear ). I have tried nasal rinse and nasal steroids, but they are of minimal help. What homeopathic treatment(s) can you recommend?

    • Hi dr. Sharma hope ur doin good. I have an illness which i dont know what to call. Sinusitus, allergic rhinitis or non allergic rhinitis. I am 32yrs now. It has made my life terrible. I think i have had it since childhood but since i did not tend to it, it has taken a toll on my body. The problem is, ever since i can remember, when i wake up in the morning when i take my breakfast and soon after that especially when i consume any type of liquid, hot or cold, my nose starts to run like a tap and i start sneezing and sneez more than ten times before the episode is over. At the end of this, quite a good amount of mucous comes out of the nose amd eyes release water and this has happened everyday for more than 15 years. Now most of my hair has become gray. I have fallen in deppression. I get irritative now most often. My body has fallen to general weakness. I have dandruff. I get lots of headaches. Weak bones. And many more problems. And this sinus attack happens most often in the morning. If i eat the same things in breakfast during lunch not reaction will occur. Its like a morning factor. What do u suggest doctor sharma. Plz help.

  16. Barbara Jones says:

    I’ve had an ongoing Sinus problem my whole life.
    I’m 67 yrs old ad have had a lifelong Dairy intolerance, which I’m told is a Casein intolerance, as it’s only my Sinus that’s affected, and I have no stomach or digestive problems. I’m also Intolerant to the Nightshade family, and Soy, and am Gluten-Intolerant.
    Whenever I eat tart fruit e.g. Tamarillos, Kiwifruit, Fejohas, I get a geographical tongue.
    Otherwise very well, and am not, nor have I been on any Medication, or NSAID.
    My 12 yr old Grandson seems to also have this problem, and his intolerances are very similar ,plus a Dust intolerance,so, I’m finally very keen to find out what this is, and heal it.
    I have a belief and interest in,Homeopathy.
