Sinusitis

In Ayurveda, sinusitis is viewed as a manifestation of an imbalance in the doshas, particularly Kapha and Vata. Ayurvedic treatment for sinusitis focuses on restoring harmony to these doshas and addressing the root cause of the condition. Herbal remedies play a crucial role in alleviating symptoms and promoting overall sinus health. Commonly recommended herbs include turmeric, ginger, licorice, and neem, known for their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Nasal irrigation, or Neti pot usage with saline water, is often suggested to cleanse and clear the nasal passages. Steam inhalation with essential oils like eucalyptus or peppermint helps relieve congestion and soothe the respiratory system. Dietary adjustments, such as avoiding cold and dairy products, are also recommended to balance the doshas.
