HELLO,
Sinusitis means inflammation and congestion of the sinus cavities- air filled spaces behind your forehead, cheekbones, and nose
When mucus does not drain properly, it gets infected or stagnates- leading to headache, facial heaviness, blocked nose, post nasal drip, and loss of smell
In Ayurveda, sinusitis is described as 'dushta pratishyaya" or “peens”
This happens due to -vitiation of kapha and vata dosha -accumulatio of ama (toxins) due to weak digestion -bloackage the channels In the head region So the aim is not just to open sinuses temporarily, but to correct the underlying dosha imbalance and remove ama
EXTERNAL TREATMENT
1) RASANADI CHOORNAM -mic 1/2 gm powder with a few drops of water or ghee into a paste -apply on forehead , nasal bridge and crown -keep for 10-15 min until mild sweating or burning -wash with lukewarm water -repear once daily for 7-10 days =opens sinus and drain kapha externally
2) NASYA= instill 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril daily mornig =cleanse and nourish the nasal passage and drain sinus secreations
3) STEAM INHALATION -add tulsi leaves, ajwain seeds, eucalyptus oil or mint to boiling water -inhale the steam covering your head with a towel for 10 min -helps liquify thick mucus and ease breathing
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with honey after meals for 2 months = improves digestion, reduces mucus
2) PATHYADI KASHAYA= 20 ml twice daily before meals with water for 1 months = anti inflammatory, clears sinuses
3) SHITOPALADI+ TALISADI CHURA= 1 tsp with honey twice daily for 2 months =reduces cough and throat irritation
4) HARIDRA KHANDA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night for 2 months =anti allergic, purifying action
5) CHYWANPRASHA= 1 tsp daily morning =rejuvenates respiratory health
HOME REMEDIES -steam inhalation -turmeric milk at night -ginger + honey paste= 1 tsp twice daily to improve immunity -inhale warm sesame oil fumes to clear nostrils -warm saline nasal rinse once daily I morning
YOGA AND PRANAYAM -bhujangasana -setu bandhasana -matsyeasana - kapalbhati -anulom vilom -bhramari
DIET -warm,light, easily digestible foods -soupd with pepper, ginger, and cumin -steamed vegetables -herbal teas with tulsi, ginger, or turmeric -warm water throughout the day
AVOID -coldd food and drinks -ice cream, curd, cheese especially at night -fried or oily foods -sweets and refined flour -sleeping during the day - sudden exposure to cold wind or dust
LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS -take a steam bath or warm shower daily -sleep early, wake early, avoid staying awake late -keep your head covered in cold weather -avoid dusty, smoky or polluted environment -do gentle oil massage of head and face week;y -maintain good oral ad nasal hygiene
Chronic sinusitis is not only a nasal problem- it’s a systemic kapha vata disorder aggravated by weak digestion ,poor immunity and lifestyle errors
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Addressing sinus issues and frequent colds requires a holistic approach that considers your dosha balance, lifestyle, and diet. According to Ayurvedic principles, imbalance in the Kapha dosha often leads to congestion and respiratory issues. To manage this imbalance, consider a few targeted changes to your routine.
Start by incorporating more Kapha-pacifying foods into your diet. Favor light, warm, and easily digestible meals with spices like ginger, black pepper, and turmeric, which help in clearing mucus and supporting respiratory function. Consume warm water throughout the day, and avoid cold foods, dairy products, and sugary items that might increase Kapha.
Daily nasal care, such as Jal Neti or nasal irrigation with saline solution, may help in clearing nasal passages and reducing sinus congestion. Practicing Pranayama, particularly Kapalabhati and Anulom Vilom, strengthens your respiratory system and helps clear blocked nasal channels.
Additionally, incorporate warm herbal teas into your routine, like Tulsi (holy basil) tea, known for its anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Prepare by steeping a few Tulsi leaves in hot water for about 10 minutes. Drink it twice daily.
Try self-massage (Abhyanga) with warm sesame oil, focusing on your sinuses’ area to stimulate circulation and help reduce blockage. Also, ensure regular physical activity like brisk walking or yoga, which invigorates the body and keeps Kapha in balance.
Be mindful of your environment - humidifiers can help maintain moisture in your living space to prevent dryness that may contribute to sinus problems. Finally, if sinus discomfort persists or worsens, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized assessment. Always seek immediate medical help for severe symptoms or if experiencing difficulty breathing.
साइनस की समस्याएं और बार-बार सर्दी होना अक्सर असंतुलन से जुड़ा होता है, खासकर कफ दोष के साथ, जो शरीर के तरल पदार्थ और बलगम को नियंत्रित करता है। इसे ठीक करने के लिए, हम सिद्ध-आयुर्वेद के सिद्धांतों पर विचार करेंगे, जो आपके कफ को संतुलित करने के साथ-साथ आपके शरीर की अग्नि, या पाचन शक्ति को बढ़ाने पर ध्यान केंद्रित करते हैं, ताकि समग्र प्रतिरक्षा और सहनशक्ति में सुधार हो सके।
पहले, आइए आपके आहार को समायोजित करें। भारी, तैलीय, ठंडे और डेयरी से भरपूर खाद्य पदार्थों से बचने की कोशिश करें क्योंकि ये कफ को बढ़ा सकते हैं। इसके बजाय, गर्म, हल्के भोजन का चयन करें जो पाचन का समर्थन करते हैं। अदरक, काली मिर्च, हल्दी और लहसुन जैसे खाद्य पदार्थ शामिल करें, जो साइनस को साफ करने और प्रतिरक्षा को बढ़ाने में मदद कर सकते हैं। ठंडे पेय से बचें और तुलसी (पवित्र तुलसी) और अदरक के साथ गर्म हर्बल चाय को प्राथमिकता दें।
दैनिक अभ्यास महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाते हैं। नीलगिरी के तेल या कपूर के साथ भाप लेना करें, क्योंकि यह नाक के मार्ग को साफ करने में मदद कर सकता है। एक सुबह की दिनचर्या पर विचार करें जिसमें गर्म खारा घोल का उपयोग करके नेति पॉट नाक की सफाई शामिल हो; यह सफाई भीड़ को कम करने और संक्रमण को रोकने में मदद करती है। इसके बाद तिल के तेल का उपयोग करके नाक की हल्की मालिश करें ताकि नाक के मार्ग को चिकनाई मिल सके।
आपकी जीवनशैली के चुनाव भी मायने रखते हैं। नियमित व्यायाम जिसमें योग आसन जैसे सिंहासन (सिंह मुद्रा) और कपालभाति प्राणायाम (अग्नि श्वास) शामिल हैं, श्वसन स्वास्थ्य को बढ़ावा दे सकते हैं। शरीर की प्राकृतिक उपचार प्रक्रियाओं का समर्थन करने के लिए पर्याप्त नींद लें।
यदि लक्षण बने रहते हैं, खासकर बुखार या गंभीर भीड़ के साथ, तो अंतर्निहित स्थितियों को बाहर करने के लिए स्वास्थ्य देखभाल पेशेवर से परामर्श करें। जीवनशैली, आहार और चिकित्सीय प्रथाओं को संतुलित करने से अक्सर इस तरह की पुरानी समस्याओं से महत्वपूर्ण राहत मिलती है।
