HELLO,
You are experiencing symptoms like -frontal sinus pain forehead region -pain behind the ear -continuous headache -eye tiredness -facial heaviness -symptoms persisting for months
This strongly suggests chronic sinusisitis, which means your sinus cavities stay swollen or filled with mucus for a long time
WHY DO YOU FEEL SO TIRED AND HEAVY? Because blocked sinuses put pressure on the face, eyes, and head. The inflammation also affects blood flow around these areas, causing fatigue and eye strain
WHY EAR PAIN? Your sinuses connect to the ear through narrow tubes (Eustachian tube) . when sinuses are blocked, pressure increases and causes pain around the ear.
Ayurveda calls this Dust pratisyaya (chronicc sinus inflammation) The main causes are -kapha aggravation= inceased mucus -vata disturbance= head pain, dryness, pressure, ear discomfort -ama (toxins)=thick mucus + infection -weak agni (digestion)= body can’t clear mucus propelry
TREATMENT GOALS PRIMARY GOALS -reduce inflammation in sinuses -clear mucus + reduce blockages -drain sinuses propelry -stop recurrence
SECONDARY GOALS -improve overall immunity -strengthen nasal passages -reduce headaches and facial pressure -balance vata kapha doshas

EXTERNAL TREATMENT
1) STEAM INHALATION FREQUENCY= 1-2 times/day ADD= tulsi ,ajwain or 2 drops eucalyptus oil = opens sinus channels, melt mucus, reduce pressure
2) NASYA= instill 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril every morning for 45 days after taking mild steam =clear sinuses, lubricates nasal passages, reduce chronic inflammation
3) WARM SALT COMPRESS -apply warm salt pouch to forehead, cheeks, behind ear =reduces pressure, relieves pain, improves circulation
4) JAL NETI (NASAL CLEANSING) -3-4 times/week, use warm saline water -follow with sesame oil application to prevent dryness = clears trapped mucus + improves breathing instantly

Hello, Thank you for explaining your condition in detail. Your symptoms—right-sided frontal sinus pain, pressure behind the ear, chronic headache, facial heaviness, and tired eyes—indicate chronic sinusitis with Kapha–Vata imbalance, mucosal congestion, and possible Eustachian tube dysfunction (ear pressure). Since this has been going on for months, the aim of treatment is to reduce nasal congestion (Kapha Shodhana), relieve pressure, improve sinus drainage, reduce inflammation, and prevent recurrence through long-term balancing therapies.
🔎 Recommended Investigations (These help identify the severity and cause) 1.X-ray PNS / CT PNS – to check sinus blockage, deviated septum, or mucosal thickening. 2.Allergy profile (IgE levels) – if seasonal or dust-related. 3.Nasal endoscopy (if symptoms persist) – ENT evaluation. 4.Vitamin D3 – deficiency can worsen sinus inflammation. 5.CBC – to rule out chronic infection.
💊 Internal Medicines Phase 1 – 14 days (Kapha Reduction & Sinus Drainage) 1.Trikatu churna – ½ tsp with honey twice daily for 5days 2.Pathyakshadhathriyadi Kashayam – 15 ml with 30ml of warm water twice daily before food 3.Shirashooladi vajra rasa - 2 tablets after food twice daily 4.Haridra Khanda – ½ tsp twice daily (reduces allergy & inflammation).
Phase 2 – 30–45 days (Healing & Strengthening the Sinus Lining) 1.Chyawanprash – 1 tsp every morning. 2.Brahmi ghritham – 1 tsp with warm milk at night (reduces chronic headache). 3.Guduchi tablets – 1 tablet twice daily (supports long-term immunity).
🌿 External & Supportive Therapies 1.Steam inhalation with Amrit Bindu or plain water with tulsi leaves – twice daily helps open sinus passages. 2.Warm compress on forehead and cheeks for 10 minutes daily. 3.Nasal saline rinse (Neti pot) – once daily (only if no active infection). 4.Oil pulling with sesame oil every morning – reduces postnasal drip. 5.Massaging forehead & sides of nose with warm sesame oil—improves sinus flow.
🥗 Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations ❌ Avoid: Cold foods, ice cream, curd (especially at night). Cold drinks, fridge water. Dust exposure, strong perfumes, AC direct air. Sleeping directly under fan or AC airflow. Oily, heavy, cheese-based foods (increase sinus congestion). ✅ Include: Warm water throughout the day. Ginger tea, tulsi tea, turmeric milk. Black pepper + turmeric in food. Soups, warm daal, light meals that digest easily. 1 clove of garlic daily (natural decongestant).
🧘🏻♀️ Yoga & Breathing Exercises Anulom Vilom – 10 minutes morning & evening. Bhastrika – 3 minutes (clears nasal passages). Bhramari – reduces headache & facial tension. Yoga asanas helpful: Bhujangasana Setu Bandhasana Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward dog) Child’s pose
🕉️ Follow-up & Duration Acute symptoms improve in 7–14 days. Chronic sinusitis usually settles with 6–8 weeks of consistent treatment. Continue immunity boosters for 3 months to prevent relapse. ENT evaluation is needed if symptoms persist despite 4–6 weeks of therapy.
✨ With steady decongestion, warm diet, steam, and sinus-cleansing practices, you will experience significant relief from pain, pressure, and fatigue. Chronic sinusitis responds very well to combined Ayurvedic + supportive care.
If any doubt regarding medicines and any queries.Please don’t hesitate to reach out.
With kind regards, Dr. Sumi

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA
Chronic sinus pain and associated headaches can indeed be challenging. According to Ayurveda, sinus issues often relate to an imbalance in the Kapha and Vata doshas. Addressing these imbalances with specific remedies can provide some relief.
First, incorporating Nasya, a nasal therapy, into your routine can be very effective. Anu Taila or Shadbindu Taila are classic formulations, used to clear nasal passages and strengthen the sinuses. Tilt your head back and instill 2-3 drops into each nostril early in the morning, on an empty stomach, avoiding any exposure to breeze or air conditioning immediately after.
Steam inhalation is also beneficial. Add a pinch of turmeric and a few drops of eucalyptus oil to boiling water, and inhale the steam. Do this once or twice a day to loosen congestion and ease pressure.
Diet is equally vital, aim for warm, cooked meals with spices like ginger, black pepper, and garlic to to improve digestion and reduce Kapha accumulation. Avoid cold, heavy, and overly sweet foods that can exacerbate sinus issues. Keep hydration in mind but stick to warm fluids rather than cold drinks. A daily cup of warm water with lemon and honey can help clear excess mucus.
For headaches and face tiredness, gentle Abhyanga (oil massage) to the head and neck, using warm sesame oil, can soothe Vata imbalances. Dedicate 10-15 minutes for this ritual before morning shower.
Ensure adequate rest, maintain a regular sleep schedule, as tiredness and eye fatigue are worsened by irregular routines. Gentle yoga or pranayama (breathing exercises) each morning can assist energy recuperation and stress reduction.
Remember, if symptoms continue or worsen, consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advise. Sinus issues may sometimes require further interventions to avoid chronic risks.
