Introduction

Introduction of Sinusitis Sinusitis is an infection or inflammation of sinuses. Sinuses are the air-filled pockets or spaces found in the bones of face, around eyes and nose. They produce mucus, which, under normal circumstances, drains into the nose. Normally the sinuses produce about 1.5 litres of mucus a day and the quantity increases during allergy, inflammation and infection and this also changes the character of the mucus. Infection of sinuses is one of the common health care complaints in the world.

Homeopathic Treatment

Homeopathic Treatment for Sinusitis There is immense scope in Homeopathy for Sinusitis. Acute, sub-acute, chronic as well as recurrent sinusitis, all respond favourably to treatment. Homeopathy is especially indicated for chronic and recurrent varieties of sinusitis, which do not respond very well to conventional sinusitis treatment. Homeopathic treatment for sinusitis can assist in improving the immunity in such patients so that they do not fall prey to frequent infections. Over a period of time with continued treatment, the attacks on sinusitis become less frequent and less severe in such patients. In acute cases of sinusitis also, the response to homeopathic treatment is very good and it prevents the patients from going into chronic or recurrent state of this condition.
