What is Sinusitis?
Sinuses are the air pockets between bones in the nasal (nose) area. The sinus inflammation and infection cause sinusitis. It’s a common disease these days that irritates the nasal passages. Acute sinusitis points to upper respiratory tract infection, leading to persistent cold, sneezing, and allergies. It makes the nose stuffy and makes breathing difficult. Pollution is one of the main drivers of sinusitis. It silently damages the sinuses by blocking the nose. People most often mistake sinusitis for a seasonal cold or dust allergy. Rapid urbanisation in the cities, traffic congestion, dust at construction sites, and poor air quality have made sinusitis one of the most severe health problems today. Indoor pollution, like cooking smoke, incense sticks, mosquito coils, chemical floor cleaners, and pet dander, also triggers sinusitis. Even newborns and adolescents are at risk of sinusitis.
Curing Sinusitis with Ayurveda
Today, we are all at risk of sinusitis. It reduces immunity to diseases and lowers the resistance power. In Ayurveda, three doshas – Vatta, Pitta, and Kapha work in balance in us. External factors like climate and environmental changes, diet practices and age can affect the doshas and cause disbalancing affecting the general health of the ear, nose, and throat. Ayurvedic Sinusitis Treatment in Palakkad balances the three doshas with detoxification processes involving dietary changes, Ayurvedic medicines, Panchakarma therapy, and lifestyle modifications.

Example, ‘Jalneti’ is an Ayurvedic kriya that aims to open the nose passages, hence removing trapped mucous in them. Jalneti also prevents the repeated episodes of sinusitis.
‘Nasyam’ is a unique Panchakarma therapy practiced depending on dosha imbalance and its severity. In this process, steam therapy helps turn the solidified mucous trapped in the sinuses into liquid, after which medicated herbal oil or powder is put into the nostrils to clear Kapha excess.
‘Oil pulling’ is another Ayurvedic practice at Palakkad that helps balance doshas in the head region. It helps reduce the buildup of oral toxins (ama) and sinus imbalance with mouth-cleansing therapy.
‘Herbal Steam Inhalation’, a process that involves adding Ayurvedic herbs such as Tulsi, eucalyptus, and rosemary to hot water, followed by steam inhalation to cleanse the sinuses.
