Sinusitis is inflammation of the sinuses or passages which are found in the bones surrounding the nose and eyes.
Sinusitis is a debilitating problem that can cause pain, mild fever, headaches, stuffy nose and depression. Allergies are a common cause (see ‘Allergies’). Dairy products can be a problem and should be avoided. There are some herbs that can help relieve the problem. Horseradish is one. Horseradish forms mustard oil in the body and it gives off mustard gas. This can help clear out the sinuses. Garlic is another herb that can help. It has anti-bacterial activity and will help dry up the infected sinuses.
Elder flower (Sambucus nigra) is a herb that I have found very helpful when used for the treatment of sinus problems, especially when used in conjunction with Echinacea, garlic, and horseradish.
Vitamin A supplementation is also beneficial as it strengthens the mucous membranes in the nose and throat. The antiinflammatory properties of the essential fatty acids found in cod liver oil give relief from the inflammation and pain.
