Deviated Nasal Septum(DNS)
A Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS) occurs when the thin wall (nasal septum) between the nasal passages is displaced to one side. This can lead to nasal obstruction, breathing difficulty, frequent sinus infections, headaches, and snoring.
Common Symptoms of DNS
- Blocked or congested nostril (especially one-sided)
- Difficulty breathing through the nose
- Frequent sinus infections or headaches
- Nasal discharge or postnasal drip
- Snoring and disturbed sleep
- Facial pain or pressure
At Chakrasiddh, therapy helps in clearing blockages in the nasal passages using natural, non-invasive therapies.
Key highlights for DNS treatment:
1. Nasyam (nasal administration of specific medicated oils in and around nasal area):
- Clears nasal blockages
- Reduces inflammation and soothes mucosal lining
- Promotes free airflow through nasal passages
- Improves blood circulation
- Reduces chronic inflammation
2. Varmam Therapy (energy point therapy):
- Enhances nerve function and reduces nasal sensitivity
- Supports better breathing and sinus drainage
3. Nasal Manipulation Therapy (correction of deviated septum by finger pressure):
- Increases space and reduces blockages
- Supports sinus drainage
4. Steam Inhalation: (suggested after every therapy 2-3 times)
- Loosens mucus
- Reduces sinus congestion
- Helps open up nasal pathways
Improvements Observed with Therapy:
- Reduced nasal congestion and easier breathing
- Decreased frequency of sinus infections
- Relief from headaches and facial pressure
- Improved sleep quality due to less snoring
- Aesthetic enhancement
- Better immunity and overall respiratory health
Note: Siddha therapies are highly beneficial in managing symptoms, reducing dependency on nasal sprays, and supporting post-surgical recovery. In severe cases where accidental harm to the septal deviation is there, surgical correction (septoplasty) might be required.
