Dear Shyam, In Ayurveda, sinusitis is often treated by addressing the underlying imbalances in the body, particularly related to the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). Here are some common Ayurvedic approaches to treat sinusitis:

Dietary Recommendations
Warm, light foods: Focus on soups, stews, and herbal teas that can help reduce mucus.
Spices: Incorporate ginger, turmeric, and black pepper to promote digestion and clear congestion.
Avoid dairy and cold foods: These can increase mucus production.
Herbal Remedies
Triphala: A blend of three fruits that supports overall health and digestion.
Tulsi (Holy Basil): Known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
Pippali (Long Pepper): Helps in clearing respiratory passages.
Nasal Treatments
Nasal Oil Application: Anointing the nostrils with sesame or coconut oil can help lubricate and soothe the nasal passages.
Nasya: The application of herbal oils through the nostrils can help relieve congestion.
Steam Inhalation
Inhaling steam infused with eucalyptus or peppermint oil can help clear sinuses and reduce inflammation.
Lifestyle Practices
Regular exercise: Helps improve circulation and respiratory function.
Yoga and Pranayama: Breathing exercises can enhance lung capacity and relieve sinus pressure.
Panchakarma
For chronic cases, a detoxification process called Panchakarma may be recommended to eliminate toxins and restore balance.
Consultation
Always consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific constitution and symptoms.

For chronic sinusitis, Ayurveda recommends balancing **Kapha dosha**, as its excess often contributes to congestion and mucus buildup. To relieve sinus pressure and improve breathing, try **nasal irrigation (Neti)** with warm salt water to clear the sinuses. **Nasya therapy** with herbal oils such as **Anu Taila** can also help lubricate the nasal passages. Herbs like **Tulsi**, **Pippali**, and **Ginger** can reduce inflammation and clear congestion. Consuming warm, spicy foods can also help open up the airways. Practicing **pranayama** (breathing exercises), particularly **Bhastrika** and **Anulom Vilom**, can help improve lung capacity and ease breathing. A diet that reduces dairy and cold foods while emphasizing warm, light meals will support your sinus health.
