Sinusitis

In Ayurveda, Sinusitis is known as Pratishyaya, a condition where aggravated Kapha dosha blocks the natural movement of Vata in the head region, leading to mucus accumulation, nasal congestion, headache and difficulty in breathing. This obstruction creates inflammation in the sinus channels and results in recurring episodes of sinus discomfort.

At Travancore Ayurveda, our doctors provide highly effective Ayurvedic treatments for Sinusitis by clearing the blocked pathways and balancing the aggravated doshas. Nasyam plays a major role in flushing out the accumulated mucus from the sinuses and reducing inflammation. Treatments like Lepanam over the sinus area and herbal dhoopam help relieve nasal blockage and ease breathing. Other beneficial therapies include Abhyangam, steam inhalation with medicated herbs, and Shiro Abhyangam, which support sinus drainage and soothe the head region. Internal medicines and diet/lifestyle modifications, as advised by the doctor, are also essential for long-term relief from Sinusitis.
