Assured relief for chronic sinus sufferers…
If you suffer from…
- Repeated colds & cough
- Nasal congestion & stuffiness
- Nasal discharge & headaches
- Nasal polyps & rhinitis – and affected by seasonal changes
You probably suffer from Chronic Sinusitis…
Chronic sinusitis usually lasts for up to 8 weeks but may continue for several months or even years. Individual’s commonly experience headaches, sinus congestion/tenderness, cough, nasal discharge, earaches, fever and weakness. Many may experience periodic sinus stuffiness whenever exposed to cold food stuffs, climatic changes and allergens.
Decongestants, antibiotics and pain killers are the conventional medicines used by physicians. Occasionally steroid nasal sprays may be administered as the above usually fail to relieve the congestion.
You need to be aware that over-the-counter cold medicines and decongestants help only temporarily. Individuals continue to experience relapses irrespective of taking these drugs.
Case Studies of 500 patients treated at HomeoConsult R&D:
Over 95% of the cases treated experienced significant reduction in sinus congestion.
Over 80% of the cases treated experienced reduction in seasonal relapses due to allergens.
Over 90% (children & adults) treated were free of severe sinus congestion for up to a year.
(Note: Extent and nature of benefits of treatment varies among individuals and has been gathered from patients themselves & past clinical records)
The above study concluded the following:
Chronic sinusitis can be treated and controlled better with Homeopathy. It not only relieves the acute symptoms of congestion; it also improves the body’s resistance to the precipitating factors. This resistance is a result of improved immune response and the body’s ability to defend itself against seasonal or climatic changes, allergens and bacterial infections.
Long-term prognosis
Conventional treatment such as decongestants etc work wonders when immediate relief is expected, though with side effects. HRD’s Homeopathic Treatment has proven to relieve symptoms gradually and reduce relapses without any side effects. Homeopathy should be the chosen line of treatment for adults and children considering its safety record and long-term advantages.
Conventional Treatment
Decongestant
Cause the nasal secretions to dry causing excessive dryness, burning or stinging sensation.
Homeopathy helps the sinus secretions to liquefy and expel.
Antibiotics
Commonly fail as the cause is usually viral. May help in secondary bacterial infections
Homeopathy has proven to be a better choice in dealing with viral infections in numerous studies conducted worldwide
Steroid nasal drops
Cause thinning of the mucous membrane and systemic absorption
Homeopathic medicines do not affect the membrane as are in the form of oral medicines capable of influencing the sinuses and the immune respons
Surgery
The most common surgery done today is functional endoscopic sinus surgery, in which the natural openings from the sinuses are enlarged to allow drainage. This type of surgery is less invasive than conventional sinus surgery and serious complications are rare. Surgery should be considered only after conventional measures and Homeopathy fails.
Causes of Sinusitis
Most health experts will agree that the cause of chronic sinusitis is difficult to determine. Since the cause is usually undetected your physician will prescribe nasal decongestants and/or nasal steroid sprays which help only temporarily. Some common causes are:
- Allergens such as dust mites, molds, pollen, fungi etc could trigger allergic rhinitis,
which may lead to sinusitis
- Chronic colds & inflammation of the nasal passages
- Deviated nasal septum
- Nasal polyps
- Swimming
- Pollutants
- Susceptibility to damp weather and climatic changes
- Asthma and lowered immune response
Symptoms
Symptoms of sinusitis depend on the location of the sinus affected.
- Pain when your forehead over the frontal sinuses is touched indicates frontal sinuses
inflamed.
- Pain in your cheeks, upper jaw and teeth indicate maxillary sinuses inflamed
- Pain between and around the eyes, sides of your nose and loss of smell indicates
ethmoid sinuses inflamed.
- Earaches and neck pain, indicates sphenoid sinuses inflamed.
Other symptoms:
- Fever, nasal congestion, cough, post-nasal drip and weakness.
Diagnosis
X-rays or CT scans help in determining chronic inflammation of sinuses. Laboratory tests such as blood tests and cultures (detect bacterial or fungal infection) may also be useful.
