sinus surgery - #17236
For the past few years, I’ve been dealing with chronic sinus issues—constant nasal congestion, pressure around my eyes and forehead, and frequent headaches. Some days, my nose is completely blocked, and I have to breathe through my mouth, which makes me feel exhausted. I also get post-nasal drip that irritates my throat, making me cough all the time. I finally went to an ENT specialist, and after a few tests, they told me I might need sinus surgery because my nasal passages are blocked, possibly due to polyps or a deviated septum. The idea of surgery makes me nervous because I don’t want to go through something invasive if there’s a natural way to fix it. I’ve heard that some people still have sinus problems even after surgery—so is it really a permanent solution? That’s why I started looking into Ayurveda. Does Ayurveda offer treatments that can help with chronic sinusitis and avoid sinus surgery? I read that sinus issues are linked to excess Kapha, which creates mucus buildup—does that mean following a Kapha-balancing diet could help clear my sinuses naturally? Are there specific Ayurvedic remedies that help with sinus congestion and inflammation? I read that Nasya therapy (herbal oil drops in the nose) and steam inhalation with eucalyptus or turmeric might help—do they actually work to reduce sinus blockages? Also, are there certain foods or lifestyle changes that can prevent sinus issues from getting worse? If anyone has avoided sinus surgery with Ayurveda, what worked best? Did herbal treatments, dietary changes, or detox therapies help clear your sinuses? I really want to try a natural approach before considering surgery.
