Mild DNS to Right - #7459
I recently had a check-up for recurring nasal congestion and breathing difficulties, and my doctor diagnosed me with mild DNS to the right (deviated nasal septum). While they suggested surgery as an option, I’m hesitant to go for an invasive procedure and would like to explore Ayurvedic remedies first. I’ve heard that Ayurveda offers holistic approaches for managing nasal issues and improving airflow naturally. From what I understand, mild DNS can cause symptoms like nasal blockages, sinus infections, and even headaches. Does Ayurveda address these symptoms with herbal formulations, and if so, what are the most effective remedies? I’ve read about nasya therapy using anu taila or shadbindu oil for clearing nasal passages. Are these suitable for someone with DNS, and how often should they be used? I’m also curious about dietary recommendations and lifestyle practices. Does Ayurveda suggest avoiding certain foods, like dairy or cold beverages, that might increase mucus production and worsen nasal blockages? Are there breathing exercises or yoga poses that can help improve nasal airflow and reduce the symptoms of DNS? Another concern is whether these remedies can provide long-term relief or if they’re more focused on symptom management. If anyone here has managed mild DNS with Ayurvedic treatments, I’d love to know your experience. Did the remedies help reduce congestion and improve breathing, and how long did it take to see results? Are there any precautions or additional steps to consider while following Ayurvedic methods for DNS?
