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

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
