Chronic Sinusitis & Siddha Therapy: Breathe Easy Naturally
Chronic Sinusitis is a long-term inflammation of the sinuses. When these sinuses become blocked or filled with mucus, it leads to facial pressure, nasal congestion, and headaches that persist for 12 weeks or longer, despite medical treatment.
Common Symptoms of Chronic Sinusitis
- Constant nasal blockage or congestion
- Facial pain or pressure (especially around the eyes, nose, or forehead)
- Headache
- Thick nasal discharge (yellow or green)
- Postnasal drip
- Reduced or lost sense of smell or taste

Siddha Perspective on Chronic Sinusitis
In Siddha medicine, chronic sinusitis is associated with a condition called “Peenism”, caused by the aggravation of mucus and phlegm imbalance. Siddha treats this condition by clearing blocked channels, reducing inflammation, and strengthening respiratory health.
