Sinusitis

A natural recovery without antibiotics!

Chronic sinusitis (sinus infection) is one of the most common chronic conditions in the UK, affecting half of population a year. It can be caused by persistent allergies and overuse of nasal decongestants as well as acute sinus infection. If left untreated, chronic sinusitis can lead to extremely serious infection requiring intense rounds of antibiotics and even surgery in Western medicine.

In earlier stages, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be used as an alternative to Western treatment. The longer the condition persists untreated, the more likely that TCM will need to be implemented in tandem with other, less natural medical practices.

Acupuncture for Sinusitis

Sinusitis is caused by inflammation in the nasal membranes that cause them to produce more mucus and become blocked. Acupuncture works to improve microcirculation, breaking up blockages that cause inflammation. By reducing inflammation, it decreases mucus production and allows nasal passages to drain.

Chronic infection like sinusitis suppresses the immune system, a cycle that prevents the body from making a complete recovery. Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins in the brain, which helps to restore the immune system's full function and bring the infection under control.

Chinese herbal medicine for Sinusitis

Herbal medicine utilizes herbs that have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties that can help relieve symptoms of sinusitis. It aims to repair damaged nasal tissues, clear mucous and phlegm, reduce swollen of nasal passages while addressing allergies, headaches, or facial pain to proving a long term result.
