hi Shalini,

 

it may be interesting to note that most cases of sinusitis are fungal

in origin, and that the use of antibiotics to treat them often end up

making the problem worse and more difficult to treat. Somebody

suggested neti with isotonic water (about 1/4 tsp of sea salt per 125

mL of room temp. water) to irrigate the nasal cavity - a helpful idea,

and you can follow this with nadi shuddha (alternate nostril

breathing), and nasya with anu tailam, 2-3 drops instilled in each

nostril once daily before breakfast. I also eliminate sugar, bread and

dairy and find this to be helpful, and use herbal remedies to

strengthen digestion, remove congestion, and help elimination. Even a

simple tea of boiled fresh ginger root along after which you infuse

with a generous handful of Tulasi (Holy Basil) can be helpful. Its not

a difficult condition to treat but you have to be disciplined and

consistent. If the problem is an allergy even still the above

approaches will be helpful to reduce the overall reactivity of the

mucosa. Helpful vitamins include A, C, and E, and flavonoids like

quercitin that inhibit histamine release.
