Sinusitis and its Homoeopathic treatment

Sinusitis is inflammation of the sinuses. If the mucous membranes lining the nose become congested and swollen ,the tiny openings into the sinuses become blocked, and no air can get in or out.These are ideal conditions for germs to multiply within the sinuses ,resulting in sinusitis. Sinusitis may follow a cold or hay fever, or even be provoked by rapid changes in air pressure (as occurs in air travel and underwater diving ).Infection of the maxillary sinuses may be caused by sepsis of the upper teeth ,which lie just just under the floor of these sinuses ,or by fracture of the upper jaw. After frequent attacks of acute sinusitis, the lining membrane can become thickened and hypersensitive to quite minor irritants such as cigarette and smoke, spicy foods or thick fog.Attacks then become more frequent and difficult to control.


SYMPTOM:


The symptoms of sinusitis depend both on the severity of the infection and the sinuses involved. In acute sinusitis there is almost always intense pain, due to accumulation of pus in the affected sinus, and the sufferer feels very ill with a high temperature. In chronic sinusitis the pain is often more of a dull ache, but is far more persistent. Maxillary sinusitis causes pain in the upper region of the cheek bones, the forehead and the upper teeth. Ethmoid sinusitis may cause pain whenever the eyes are moved. Frontal sinusitis can cause a vague morning headache, which may be mistakenly attributed to migraine, eyestrain, or some other cause. Sphenoid sinusitis ish liable to cause a persistent discharge of pus down the back of the throat (a post nasal drip') with a cough and possibly chest complications. Of the various forms of sinusitis, maxillary sinusitis is the most common.


Homoeopathic treatment of sinusitis:

Homoeopathic medicines help in controlling the acute inflammation of the sinuses as well as preventing the condition from progressing to a chronic stage. In cases of recurrent sinusitis, homoeopathy medicines can help in reducing the number of attacks as well as the frequency of these attacks.

Regular treatment with Homoeopathy can improve the immunity of the individual so that he does not fall prey to recurrent attacks of sinusitis. It can help in preventing the need for frequent antibiotics, decongestants, etc. that only tend to provide temporary relief. Homoeopathy may also help in avoiding the need for endoscopic sinus surgery for sinusitis as far as possible. All in all, Homoeopathy is strongly suggested for all sinusitis patients and the earlier they opt for treatment, the better the results.

Migraine and its Homoeopathic treatment

Migraine is a particular type of severe and recurring head pain. The exact cause of the pain is not known,though it has been linked with muscular spasm of arteries in the head . The arteries first narrow ,then widen,though why they do this is not clear. Somewhere between one in five and one in ten of the adult population are said to suffer from this condition.It is more likely to occur in energetic,lively people.

POSSIBLE TRIGGERS:

1. Anxiety
2. Depression
3. Over-exertion
4. Overwork
5. Tiredness
6. Excitement
7. Change of routine
8. Travel
9. Change in weather or climate
10. Bright light

13. Contraceptive pill
14. Menstruation or the premenstrual period
15. Toothache
16. Alcohol
17. Certain foods:cheese,chocolate,milk,eggs,shellfish and citrus fruits are among the foods most likely to trigger attacks.

SYMPTOM:

Before a migraine attack there is often an aura ,a warning sign such as flashing lights or zig -zag patterns before the eyes, or a tingling feeling in the face or limbs.Then comes the headache: a severe ,throbbing pain usually on one side of the head, accompanied by feelings of nausea  or actual vomiting and possibly dislike of bright lights .The sufferer is virtually incapacitated by the pain .other symptoms include redness and watering of one eye , and possibly a runny nose .The attack may last from a few hours to a day or more ,and may recur after a few days, or not till months or years later.

Homeopathic approach to the Treatment of Migraine:

Looking for a safe, natural, effective, and long-lasting answer for your migraines? Consider Homoeopathy. The Homoeopathic approach to the treatment of migraine patients is more individualistic. Homoeopathy considers migraine as a personality disorder and for this reason the treatment must be decided on the basis of a complete study of the patients' personality.  This constitutional approach helps treat all cases of migraine successfully. Also, Homoeopathic medicines are 100% safe with no side effects and are proven effectively on human beings. The positive effect of Homeopathic treatment is long lasting and can last for life.

With most of the patients the initial improvement starts after 2-4 week treatment, reducing the frequency and interval of the attacks. The attacks are almost terminated after 4-8 week treatment. But to achieve the maximum and the most permanent result the patient has to undergo 8-18 month treatment.

Do’s and Don’ts to help you deal with Migraine headache:

·         Splash cold water on your face during a severe migraine attack, and then lie down in a dark room and rest.

·        Take adequate sleep.

·         Take a break from your daily routine.

·         Set a regular and organized routine for your life style.

·         Work in a pleasant atmosphere. Avoid stress.

·         Avoid exposure to bright lights, loud noises, cold drafts, being under the sun for a long time, overstraining your eyes.

·         Avoid fried, too salty, spicy food, alcohol, caffeine, canned foods, stop smoking. A vegetarian diet is preferable.

·         Eat lots of raw fruits and vegetables.

·         Don’t overwork yourself physically or mentally.

·         Don’t overeat, eat small and frequent meals.

Hence, every person suffering from migraine must consider Homoeopathy to provide relief and lifetime cure.

How does cure take place in homoeopathy?

Homoeopathy believes that when we are sick, its not only a part or particular organ that is diseased but the whole body or individual is affected.

Homoeopathy treats the whole individual and not only its diseased organ.

It  follows a holistic approach.

According to homoeopathy cure should be rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of health, or removal and annihilation of the disease in its whole extent,in the shortest and most reliable,and most harmless way.

It works on the principle that every disease manifests itself in each individual  in the form of various signs and symptoms due to the derangement of vital force a form of energy within the body and if this vital force is freed from such derangement ,the individual is automatically restored to health'',and all this is done by selecting a similimum or remedy or medicine that suits the signs and symptoms of the patient.

How does Homeopathy works?

Homoeopathy believes that the body is always trying to maintain health and that we are born with an inbuilt capacity to heal ourselves.

Our bodies are incredibly complex, self regulating systems that strive to maintain a state of 'homeostasis' or well being, For example a cut will generally heal of it's own accord very quickly, most of us are able to fight off infections such as coughs and colds without any interventions, and we tend to naturally vomit or have diarrhoea after we have eaten bad food.

However, at times, for a variety of reasons for example stress, exhaustion, emotional difficulties or poor diet, our bodies may find it harder to maintain this balance and we may develop illness that we need help to recover from.

Homoeopathy is a process and we encourage you to see homoeopathic treatment as a journey back to health rather than a quick fix. It may take time to work back through health issues in order to return to optimum health, although some conditions may respond very quickly to treatment.

Homoeopathic remedies are gentle reminders to the body of how best to return to health.They help to strengthen the body's own healing response and to speed up the process of recovery.
