SINUSITIS---
Sinusitis can be described as an inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the para-nasal sinuses. In simple terms, it can be defined as the over secretion of mucus
by the membranes lining the nose and throat. The most common symptoms of sinusitis are constant or excessive sneezing, low grade fever, running nose, headaches,
blockage of one or both nostrils, and pressure around the eyes, head, and face. Lack of appetite and difficulty in breathing are the other symptoms of sinusitis.
However, sinusitis can be cured by resorting to some natural ways of treatment. In the following lines, we have listed some of the home remedies for treating
sinusitis.
HOME REMEDIES---
:Raw vegetable juice is beneficial in treating sinusitis. Combine 300 ml of CARROT JUICE, 100 ml of CUCUMBER JUICE, 100 ml of beet juice and 200 ml of SPINACH JUICE and drink on a daily basis.
:Consuming fruits rich in VITAMIN A is effective in sinusitis. One of the richest sources of the vitamin is MANGO. So, patients suffering from sinus should have lots of mangoes. Other food products rich in Vitamin A include pumpkin, leafy vegetables, egg yolk, tomatoes, papaya, carrots, curd and whole milk.
:Roast 100 grams of CUMIN SEEDS and mix them with 200 grams of PURE GHEE. Consume daily. It is one of the most effective ways to cure sinusitis.
:Take a tsp of BLACK CUMIN SEEDS and tie them in a thin cloth. Inhaling from the cloth would be effective in reducing sinusitis.
:Boil a tsp of METHI SEEDS in half a glass of water, until the decoction reduces to half. Consuming 3 to 4 cups of this tea would help in expelling all the toxins, increasing the perspiration rate and thereby reducing fever, along with sinusitis.
:Pungent smelling vegetables, like ONION AND GARLIC, are helpful in curing sinusitis. Inhaling their smell would also prove to be beneficial.
:STEAM is effective in curing sinusitis. It opens the nasal passage by draining the sinuses and making mucous flow easy.
:Avoid cold items and oily stuff. They trigger the upper respiratory diseases, instead of lessening them.
:Gargling with SALTED LUKEWARM WATER is beneficial in treating sinusitis. For this, add a pinch of salt in a glass of lukewarm water and gargle with it.
:Prepare GINGER OR CINNAMON TEA and drink it when it is slightly on the hotter side. It is helpful in curing sinusitis.
HOMEOPATHIC CURE---
ARSENIC ALB: People who need this remedy feel throbbing and burning pains in the sinuses. Their pains are aggravated by light, noise, movement, after midnight, and may be triggered by anxiety, exertion, and excitability. They may feel relief by lying quietly in a dark room with the head raised on pillows and exposed to cool air. Their teeth may feel long and painful. They may feel nausea and experience vomiting concurrent with their sinusitis. They tend to have a great thirst, but they tend to drink frequent sips, rather than gulps.
BELLADONNA: This remedy is effective for people whose head feels full, as if it could burst. The pain usually resides in the forehead or around the eyes. There is throbbing pain that is worse by jarring, touch, bending forward, lying flat, or motion of the eyes and is relieved by gradually applied pressure, sitting up, or bending the head backwards. Another characteristic symptoms of people who need this remedy is when the sinus pain appear strongly and rapidly but then disappears temporarily, only to repeat the process of coming and going pain. The eyes are also sensitive to light and the face is flushed. They are apt to feel dizzy which becomes worse when stooping.
HEPAR SULPH: Rarely indicated at the beginning of a sinusitis condition, people who need Hepar sulphur begin sneezing and then develop sinusitis from the least exposure to cold air. Their nasal discharge is thick and yellow. The nostrils become very sore from the acrid discharge, and their nasal passages become sensitive to cold air. Concurrently, they may have a headache with a sense of a nail or a plug that is thrust into the head along with a boring or bursting pain. Their headache above the nose is worse from shaking the head, motion, riding in a car, stooping, moving the eyes, or simply from the weight of a hat, but is relieved by the firm pressure of a tight bandage. The scalp is so sensitive that simply combing the hair may be painful.
KALI BICHROMICUM: The distinguishing feature of people with sinusitis who need this medicine is that they have a thick, stringy nasal discharge. They have extreme pain at the root of the nose that is better by applying pressure there. The bones and scalp feel sore. Dizziness and nausea when rising from sitting and the severe pain may lead to dimmed vision. The pains are worse by cold, light, noise, walking, stooping, and in the morning (especially on waking or at 9 am) or at night. They prefer to lie down in a darkened room and feel better by warmth, warm drinks, or overeating.

The pains are also aggravated by extremes of hot and cold temperature. The scalp and the nose become very sensitive to the touch. Their teeth feel long and painful, and they may salivate exces sively. The nasal discharge is usually green and too thick to run. It is offensive smelling and acrid.
PULSATILLA: When the head pain is worse when lying down and in a warm room and is better in cool air, this medicine should be considered. The sinusitis may begin after being over heated. Stooping, sitting, rising from lying down, and eating can aggravate the head pain, which is often in the front part of the head and accompanied with digestive problems. They get some relief from slow walking in the open air or by wrapping the head tightly in a bandage. This condition is commonly experienced when the child is in school or the adult is at work. The nasal discharge is often thick and yellow or green.
SPIGELLIA: People who develop sinusitis with a sharp pain that is worse on the left side may need this medicine. They tend to get sinusitis after exposure to cold or cold, wet weath er. They feel pain from warmth or when they stoop or bend the head forward, and they feel some relief by cold applications or from washing with cold water.
DOSAGE: Take a dose of the 6th or 30th potency every two hours during intense symptoms and every four hours during mild symp toms. Some type of relief is commonly observed after one dose. Consider changing homeopathic remedies if observable benefit is not attained within 24 hours.
