Dealing with sinusitis is such a pain, isn't it? Those headaches and that pressure around the eyes, ugh, can be so draining. Let's talk about what to avoid and what could potentially help you manage it better. First off, avoid cold foods and drinks. I mean, it's tempting to grab a cold soda or ice cream, but these tend to increase kapha dosha, making the congestion worse. Stay away from dairy products too; they can thicken mucus and worsen the sinus congestion. Maybe cut back on processed sugar and fried food, they tend to disrupt your doshas and escalate inflammation. On a more practical side, keep away from dusty areas and strong fragrances. They can irritate your sinuses and trigger a reaction. Think of it like steering clear of a landmine if you're prone to sinus issues or hay fever. As for what to add in—warm foods and liquids like ginger tea can be soothing. It can ignite your agni, that digestive fire, which helps pacify kapha. You might try steam inhalation with eucalyptus or a few drops of peppermint oil in hot water. It sounds simple, but it can really break down that blockage and ease the pressure. Consider incorporating turmeric and ginger in your meals. They're like nature's gift for inflammation. Trikatu, a combination of ginger, long pepper, and black pepper, is something to think about for digestion and congestion too. Taking it with honey could maximize its effect. Drinking warm water throughout the day can help in keeping mucus loose too. And let's talk lifestyle. Daily practices like jal neti (nasal cleansing with warm saline water) can do wonders if done regularly. Try avoiding late-night work or heavy meals closer to bedtime; they mess with your digestive cycle, which in turn can affect sinus health. As always, listen to what your body tells you. If it gets real bad, don’t hesitate to see a healthcare professional for immediate relief. Sometimes, even the best home remedies can take time to show their magic.

Dear your case is no longer just allergy — it's chronic inflammation + congestion in the sinuses, ears, and around the eyes. 1.Steam inhalation twice daily is mandatory for your case. Add a pinch of turmeric and carom seeds (ajwain) to boiling water for stronger effect. *It will loosen and melt the thick Kapha deeply stuck inside.- Avoid- cold, dry, dusty things *Follow a warming, Kapha-reducing diet *Use Anu Taila, Sitopaladi Churna, steam inhalation daily Consistency for 3–4 months is necessary to heal chronic sinusitis You can heal fully — even chronic 20+ years sinusitis can become symptom-free naturally!

I’m Dr. Chaithanya J. Nair, an Ayurvedic physician dedicated to integrative and patient-centered care. I graduated in 2022 from Kerala University of Health Sciences, where I developed a strong foundation in classical Ayurvedic principles and clinical practice. In addition to my Ayurvedic education, I hold a diploma in Yoga Instructor Training from S-VYASA University, which has allowed me to incorporate yogic techniques into my therapeutic approach, especially in managing lifestyle disorders and stress-related conditions. Since December 2022, I’ve been practicing at a multispecialty NABH-accredited hospital in Kerala, where I’ve been exposed to a broad spectrum of clinical conditions and multidisciplinary coordination. This experience has enhanced my ability to diagnose and treat patients holistically, while adhering to modern healthcare standards and safety protocols. Currently, I am associated with the Medibuddy platform, where I support the TATA Health Insurance Medical Examination Report team. This role allows me to contribute to preventive health screening and ensure comprehensive documentation and evaluation of medical histories for insured individuals. It has deepened my understanding of corporate and digital health systems. Alongside my institutional responsibilities, I actively run my own Ayurvedic consultation clinics during evening hours, where I provide personalized care rooted in traditional diagnostics such as Nadi Pariksha, Prakriti analysis, and individualized treatment protocols. My clinical interests span across digestive disorders, stress and anxiety, musculoskeletal complaints, and preventive healthcare. Through a blend of classical Ayurvedic wisdom, yoga therapy, and modern health insight, I strive to offer my patients a path toward sustainable wellness and preventive health, while remaining accessible, empathetic, and thorough in every consultation.

My dual role in academics and clinical practice allows me to stay deeply connected with both the foundational principles of Ayurveda and their real-world application in patient care. With years of experience in teaching and treating patients, I have developed a strong grounding in classical Ayurvedic texts as well as hands-on expertise in managing a wide spectrum of health conditions. In my academic role, I am involved in mentoring undergraduate and postgraduate students, guiding them through theoretical understanding, clinical training, and practical application of Ayurvedic medicine. I actively participate in departmental research, workshops, and case discussions, fostering a learning environment that emphasizes both scientific inquiry and traditional wisdom. As a consultant, I provide holistic Ayurvedic care for chronic lifestyle disorders, musculoskeletal problems, women’s health issues, gastrointestinal diseases, and skin disorders. My treatment plans are deeply personalized, based on a thorough assessment of Prakriti (body constitution) and Vikriti (imbalance), integrating herbal medicine, Panchakarma therapies, dietary advice, and preventive health strategies. I strongly believe in the importance of patient education and preventive care. Whether I am managing a complex condition or offering day-to-day wellness support, my aim is always to treat the root cause and promote long-term healing.

With over three years of clinical experience in a neuro-psychiatric hospital, I have developed a deep understanding of mental health and neurological disorders. My work involved supporting patients with a wide range of conditions such as anxiety, depression, psychosis, insomnia, and neurodegenerative diseases, using a combination of traditional Ayurvedic principles and evidence-based care. I take a holistic approach, addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of health, and prioritize personalized therapies that support long-term recovery and emotional well-being. In addition to my neuro-psychiatric work, I have six months of hands-on experience in emergency trauma care, where I was trained to respond quickly and effectively to acute medical situations. This experience strengthened my diagnostic abilities, crisis management skills, and reinforced the importance of timely intervention and integrative support in critical care settings. I also spent over a year in a fertility department, where I worked closely with couples dealing with infertility, menstrual irregularities, hormonal imbalances, and other reproductive health concerns. My focus was on restoring reproductive function using Ayurvedic treatments such as Uttarabasti, Rasayana therapy, and lifestyle modifications, always guided by the patient’s unique prakriti and health history. These diverse clinical experiences have shaped my practice into one that is compassionate, detail-oriented, and grounded in both tradition and clinical precision. Whether treating neurological concerns, supporting fertility, or responding to acute trauma, I am committed to offering ethical, individualized, and effective care that promotes lasting wellness.

I have gained comprehensive clinical experience through my internship and professional duties, which has laid a strong foundation for my medical practice. During my internship, I worked extensively across multiple departments, including casualty, general medicine, general surgery, and obstetrics & gynecology at the Government District Hospital, Gadag. This exposure allowed me to handle a variety of acute and chronic cases, sharpen my clinical assessment skills, and actively participate in patient management under the guidance of senior medical professionals. Following this, I served as a duty doctor at AYUSH Hospital, Gadag Betgeri, where I applied my Ayurvedic knowledge in a clinical setting and contributed to patient care in both outpatient and inpatient departments. I successfully completed 366 days of rigorous internship training at DGM Ayurvedic Medical College and Hospital, Gadag, where I was involved in patient evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment planning under supervision. My time there allowed me to integrate classical Ayurvedic principles with practical patient care while developing a keen understanding of hospital operations and multidisciplinary collaboration. These experiences have enhanced my ability to handle diverse medical conditions confidently while maintaining a patient-centered approach. I am dedicated to continuing my journey as an Ayurvedic practitioner with the same passion and commitment, focusing on delivering quality, evidence-based, and holistic healthcare.
