Namaste. Chronic sinusitis is linked to Kapha imbalance and Ama (toxins). Ayurvedic Management: Internal Remedies: Take Sitopaladi Churna with honey to relieve mucus and inflammation. Use Trikatu Churna to reduce Ama and clear sinuses. External Application: Perform Nasal Steam with eucalyptus oil or ajwain seeds. Use Anu Tailam (2 drops in each nostril) daily to clear nasal passages. Lifestyle: Avoid cold and damp environments.

Dealing with chronic sinus infections can be super frustrating, I get that. The calcification in your left nasal side, as seen in the CT scan, might have been there a while, complicating things a bit. But in Ayurveda, we tackle the root cause, not just symptoms, to hopefully offer some relief. Firstly, let's look into the core of Ayurveda with regards to sinuses. Most often, sinus infections are linked to an imbalance of Kapha dosha and a weak agni (digestive fire). When Kapha accumulates, it creates blockages and excess mucus in sinus passages, making infections more likely. Start with Nasya, a traditional nasal treatment. Use Anu taila - it's an herbal oil, helps clear sinuses. Warm it gently and put 3-4 drops in each nostril every morning and evening. But do this on an empty stomach, not right after meals. After instilling the oil, take some time, lie down, let the oil work. Diet matters too! Try to avoid dairy, processed foods, cold foods & drinks—all these increase Kapha. Use spices like ginger, black pepper, turmeric in daily cooking; they help improve agni and reduce mucus. Manage stress – Yoga and Pranayama, especially Kapalabhati and Anulom Vilom, can be something to try. They don’t just calm mind, they also aid sinus drainage. Begin slowly, ensuring your practice feels comfortable and doesn't strain. You might also explore Panchakarma, a deep detoxifying process, if available at a reputable place. It cleanses and balances doshas long-term. Consult with an Ayurvedic doctor to guide you through the process safely. Remember, healing takes time. Do this consistently, see if symptoms lessen. But any worsening, or severe pain, see a healthcare professional to rule out anything pressing. Stay patient with yourself on this journey!
