I would suggest a holistic approach to managing chronic sinus issues and cold. Ayurveda focuses on balancing the doshas, especially the Kapha dosha, which governs mucus production. Herbal remedies such as Tulsi, Pippali, and Ginger can help reduce congestion and improve immunity. Nasal cleansing with saline water (Neti) and the use of Ayurvedic oils like Anu Taila for nasal passages can provide relief. A diet that avoids cold, heavy, and mucus-producing foods like dairy and processed foods, while incorporating warm, easily digestible meals, can also support healing. Lifestyle practices like regular steam inhalation, yoga, and pranayama will strengthen the respiratory system. Consulting a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized treatment will help address the root cause and manage the condition naturally.

Oh, that's gotta be frustrating, dealing with a daily cold. And I understand how dependent one can feel on allopathic meds. But lets see how Ayurveda can provide some relief without jumping to surgery just yet.
First, let's chat about your prakriti, which is your unique constitution. With recurring symptoms like a cold, there might be an imbalance in the Kapha dosha. This dosha, when aggravated, tends to cause excess phlegm leading to congestion, colds, sinus issues, you name it.
Quick thing you could try is switching up diet. Consider foods that are warm, light, and dry, which helps in countering that heavy, damp kapha. Say, soups but omit the cream, or spicy teas like ginger-tulsi. Try to ditch dairy for a bit, as it can increase phlegm production. Instead, go for alternatives like almond milk.
Incorporate steam inhalation daily, throw in a couple of drops of eucalyptus or turmeric for added benefit. It really help clear the nasal pathways. A neti pot rinse with lukewarm salted water might assist too, used gently, it's daily ritual in Ayurveda for those with sinus troubles.
Believe it or not, oil massage (abhyanga) with warm sesame oil can stabilize your vata which often goes awry when kapha’s aggravated. More like, ah, let’s restore some inner harmony.
For relief at night, rubbing a dab of eucalyptus oil on your chest or temples could do wonders. This can ease breathing while you sleep, which is when kapha issues often worsen.
Practicing Nadi Shodhana Pranayama (alternate nostril breathing) for about 10-15 minutes daily might be beneficial too. It balances the entire dosha spectrum and promote clear nasal passages.
However, if symptoms get severe or don't improve - do keep in mind that professional medical help is crucial. Surgery might be a real option if natural methods fall short. Stay safe!
