Frequently Asked Questions
Sinusitis is understood as a condition caused by Kapha accumulation and impaired Vata affecting nasal passages and sinuses. It leads to congestion, inflammation, and blockage, and Ayurveda focuses on clearing channels and restoring doshic balance.
Symptoms include nasal congestion, facial pain, headaches, blocked sinuses, thick mucus discharge, reduced sense of smell, and pressure around the eyes and forehead. Chronic cases may lead to recurring discomfort.
