Sinusitis is an inflammation of the air-filled cavities (sinuses) in the facial bones due to mucus build-up. This condition can cause discomfort and breathing difficulties if left untreated.

Causes of Sinusitis

1. Allergic Reactions: Sensitivity to pollen, dust, or specific foods.
2. Nasal Polyp: Soft tissue growth obstructing the nasal cavity.
3. Deviated Nasal Septum: Structural abnormality causing blockage.
4. Infections: Bacterial or viral infections.
5. Environmental Factors: Pollution, seasonal changes, etc.

Symptoms

• Facial Pain: Especially around sinus openings.
• Nasal Congestion: Difficulty breathing due to blockage.
• Nasal Discharge: Mucus discharge, often thick and yellow/green.
• Headache: Worsens when bending or drooping the head forward.

Ayurvedic Perspective on Sinusitis

In Ayurveda, sinusitis is seen as a condition caused by the obstruction (uparodha) of Vata dosha by Kapha dosha, leading to Prathishyaya. Treatment focuses on removing the obstruction, balancing the doshas, and clearing the sinuses.
