Are you suffering from blocked and inflamed sinuses? Have you tried every sinusitis remedy you can think of? Look no further than View to Health’s naturopath for sinusitis relief.
Sinusitis is a debilitating disease characterised by inflammation of the sinuses, where drainage of the sinuses is partially blocked by congestion and mucosal oedema. The resulting stasis allows a bacterial infection to persist. The subsequent mucosal congestion results in headache over the forehead and an aching face. Some of the symptoms of sinusitis may not even be recognised as originating from the sinuses.
Other consequences of Sinus Infection
Sufferers of sinusitis sniffle and have post-nasal drip, so they have resultant sore throats and often have an infected digestive tract.
Because of the post-nasal drip and the swallowing, mucous ends up in the stomach, preventing the complete digestion of proteins, resulting in allergies. This is due to the partially digested proteins being recognised as foreign antigens by the body’s immune system and antibodies being produced in response.
By treating the sinusitis, your naturopath will address the consequent allergies. Your naturopath will also prescribe a digestive tonic to ensure proper digestion of food in the stomach. There is no point in treating the consequences of the sinus infection, such as headaches and allergies, separately without first treating the sinusitis.
Sinus sufferers have increased susceptibility to colds and frequently have a dry, irritating throat. It is normally in the spring and autumn that they come to their naturopath for sinusitis relief.
They often have sleep apnoea and snore and disturb their partners.
Antihistamines and steroid-based decongestant drugs depress the immune system.
Naturopathic treatment for sinusitis involves supporting the immune system with herbs that fight infection and anti-catarrhal and mucolytic herbs to help clear the stasis.
Chronic sinusitis may represent a vicarious elimination where the normal channels of elimination are not functioning effectively. This may be caused by poor lymphatic drainage or under-active kidney function. Lymphatic drainage remedies and diuretic herbs may be indicated.
Silent reflux may also be contributing to the sinus condition, as may gut dysbiosis, as all mucous membranes in the body are connected.
Your specific herbal formulation can be made for sinusitis relief by your Sydney naturopath.
