👃 Sinusitis

Specialized and Customized Ayurvedic Approaches with Ahara Vihara

at Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital

📘 Introduction

Sinusitis, referred to as Peenasa in Ayurveda, is the inflammation or swelling of the tissue lining the sinuses.
At Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital, we provide specialized and personalized Ayurvedic therapies, including tailored Ahara Vihara (diet and lifestyle), to address the root causes and promote long-term sinus and respiratory health.

🔬 Understanding Sinusitis

Sinusitis is commonly caused by:

  • Infections (bacterial or viral)

  • Allergies

  • Structural blockages (e.g., deviated septum)

It leads to:

  • Mucus congestion

  • Facial pain and pressure

  • Headaches

  • Breathing discomfort

🌿 Ayurvedic Perspective – Peenasa

In Ayurveda, Peenasa is attributed to imbalances in Kapha and Vata doshas, affecting the Urdhwa Jatru Pradesha (head and neck) and Pranavaha Srotas (respiratory channels).

  • Kapha Prakopa: Causes thick mucus, heaviness, and congestion

  • Vata Prakopa: Leads to dryness, sharp pain, and headaches

  • Ama (Toxins): Causes inflammation and blockage in the sinus channels

⚠️ Signs and Symptoms of Peenasa

  • Nasal congestion and stuffiness

  • Facial pain and heaviness

  • Headache

  • Thick or discolored nasal discharge

  • Cough (especially postnasal drip)

  • Reduced sense of smell

  • Fatigue and low energy

🧘 Ayurvedic Approach to Sinusitis Management

Our holistic treatment protocol is focused on:

  • Balancing Kapha and Vata doshas

  • Eliminating Ama (toxins)

  • Clearing sinus channels

  • Supporting immune and respiratory health through Ahara Vihara

🔑 Key Ayurvedic Therapeutic Interventions

  • Nasya (Nasal Therapy): Application of medicated oils/decoctions in the nostrils to decongest

  • Dhumapana (Herbal Smoke Inhalation): Clears sinuses and reduces Kapha

  • Pratimarsha Nasya (Daily Nasal Oil Application): Prevents recurrence and maintains nasal hygiene

  • Swedana (Sudation): Herbal steam to relieve congestion and support drainage

  • Herbal Medicines: Trikatu, Triphala, Turmeric, and other sinus-specific formulations

🍽 Ayurvedic Ahara Vihara Recommendations

Diet (Ahara):

  • Use spices like turmeric, black pepper, ginger
