Hi Faisal, Thanks for the clear explanation of your symptoms. I get how annoying it is when issues keep popping up on the same side of your body. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊 Basically, your history points to a pattern on your right side: – Long-term sinus blockage in your right nostril – Bell’s palsy on the right side – Sciatica on the right side In Ayurveda, this suggests an imbalance of Vata and Kapha affecting the Ida–Pingala Nadi balance, mainly on the Pingala Nadi (right side). This can cause: – Ongoing Kapha buildup in your sinuses – Vata blockage in your nerves – Poor circulation and nerve health on the right side This is known as Avarana of Vata by Kapha (where Kapha blocks nerve flow). Why these problems might be linked: Your sinuses, facial nerves, spine, and sciatic nerve are all related through: – Head channels – Marma points – Nadi pathways So, if your right sinus is blocked for a long time: – Toxins build up – Nerve health declines – Swelling spreads → to your facial nerve → to your spinal nerve → to your sciatic nerve So, it could be one thing spreading, not three separate issues. What I think is going on Kapha-Avarita Vata * In Urdhva Jatrugata Pradesha (head) * In Katipradesh (lower back and leg) AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT 1. To clear your blocked right nostril: Anu Taila Nasya Put 2 drops in each nostril. Do this in the morning every day on an empty stomach. (Keep this up for 2–3 months) This should: – Clear your sinuses – Help nerve flow – Prevent Bell’s palsy from coming back 2. For nerve swelling and sciatica: 1. Yograj Guggulu – 1 tablet, twice a day after you eat 2. Dashmool Kwath – 40 ml, twice a day This should help remove: – Kapha blockage – Nerve swelling – Pressure on your sciatic nerve 3. To help your nerves heal: 1. Ashwagandha 500 mg – twice a day 2 Brahmi 250 mg – twice a day These can help rebuild: – Your facial nerve – Your sciatic nerve –The connection between your brain and spine 4. For your chronic sinus issues: 1 Sitopaladi churna– ½ teaspoon, twice a day Take it with warm water after you eat DIET PLAN ❌AVOID – Cold drinks – Curd at night – Ice cream – Fried foods – Staying up late ✅INCLUDE – Warm water – Ginger tea – Steamed veggies – Rice, dal, soups – Turmeric and black pepper Try sleeping on your left side to help drain your right sinus. Important: If this right-side blockage isn’t fixed, it could lead to: –Bell’s palsy coming back –A slipped disc – Ongoing nerve pain So, it’s important to stick with treatment for a while. Your body isn’t weak – it’s blocked up. Once we get rid of the Kapha and get the Vata flowing, you should start feeling better. You can get better! Just stick to this plan consistently for 6 weeks. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

Try some medicines for 1 month and if you haven’t get relief we want further investigation and panchakarma therapy for sciatica. 1. Danadanayanadi kashayam 15ml + 45 ml lukewarm water before food for 2 weeks. For another 2 weeks, 2. Gandharvahasthadi kashaya same dose. 3. Sallaki plus tablet 1 after food. 4. Anutailam drops 2 in each nostril at empty stomach after a steam inhalation. 5. Balarishtam 10 ml just after food 2 times daily( avoid if you have diabetes) Take care, If you have any doubt you can contact through personal consultation. Warm regards, Dr. Shaniba

HELLO, Your symptoms shows chronic unilateral sinusitis (right side > 1 year) with history of right sided Bell’s palsy and now right sided sciatica From an Ayurvedic view, this suggests -chronic kapha accumulation in the head (pratisyaya/dushta pratisyaya) -vata aggravation affecting nerves (Bell’s palsy and sciatica) -possible kapha vata imbalance localised on the right side Right sided dominance often indicates pitta + vatainvolvement in the pingala nadi pathway 1) SINUSITIS (chronic - > 1 year) Likely condition -dushta pratisyaya -kapha vata dominant STEP 1= DAILY NASAL CLEANSING (morning routine ) JAL NETI (daily) -use lukewarm saline water -follow with gentle kapalbhati (30-50 strokes) NASYA= after neti -use anu taila -2 drop in each nostril morning =clears chronic kapha blockage and improves breathing STEP 2= INTERNALLY FOR SINUS AND IMMUNITY -SITOPALADI CHURNA= 1 tsp with honey in morning -TRIBHUVAN KIRTI RAS= 1 tab twice daily after meals -TURMERIC + BLACK PEPPER NIGHTLY IF THICK MUCUS -TRIKATU CHURNA= small pinch with warm water before meals DIET -warm soups -gigner tea -tulsi tea -light dinner before 7:30 pm AVOID -curd especially at night -cold drinks -bananas -excess dairy -refrigerated food 2) SCIATICA (right side-1 year) Likely condition -gridhrasi (vata disorder) EXTERNAL THERAPY DAILY OIL MASSAGE= DHANWANTARAM TAILA -massage lower back and right leg -follow with hot fomentation INTERNAL MEDICATION -YOGARAJ GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals -DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 20 ml + equal water twice daily before meals -CASTOR OIL= 1/2 tsp In warm milk once weekly at night Helps remove vata blockage GENTLE YOGA -bhujangasana -makarasana -pawanmuktasana -mild hamstring stretches Avoid forward bending and heavy lifting IMPORTANT= CONNECTION BETWEEN ALL 3 CONDITION You have Right sinus blockage Right facial nerve weakness (past) Right sciatica nerve pain This suggest -chronic vata obstruction in right channel -possibly long term ama (toxin accumulation) SO a panchakarma course would be ideal If possible -virechana -nasya therapy -basti for sciatica This gives deeper correction than home remedies EXPECTED TIMELINE -Sinus relief= 4-8 weeks -Sciatica improvement= 6-12 weeks -Full vata correction=3-6 months Consistency is key DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR.
