Sinusitis and Homeopathy
Sinusitis is nothing but the
inflammation of the Para-nasal sinuses causing innumerable symptoms with
a terrific tendency of recurrence.
Whenever these sinuses are inflamed,
it is described as sinusitis. All these sinuses communicate with nasal
sinuses and the mucus lining of sinuses is same as that of nostrils. As
a result, whenever these sinuses are inflamed, the manifestations are
through nose. These sinuses are situated one on either side of nose and
just above the orbits towards the middle of forehead.
As it has been already mentioned, this is a chronic problem with
recurring tendency. Patients suffering for long time seek homeopathy
treatment. Many of these patients after allopathic treatment, habituated
for putting nasal drops for relief seek better treatment in Homeopathy.

patients suffer from anosmia, in common words, Loss of sense of smell.

bacterial infection. Allergies, pollutants, nasal problems and certain
diseases may also

and congestion. There may also be mucus drainage in the back of the
throat, called post nasal drip.
