Do you suffer from sinusitis? On this page, you will find information about sinusitis and natural remedies, such as herbal and homeopathic remedies, for sinuses. Alternative home remedies, such as decongestants or pain relievers can help you recover faster.

What is Sinusitis

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the tissue lining the sinuses. The sinuses are hollow cavities that exist in our cheekbones, behind our noses, and within our ears. The sinuses usually contain air. They become blocked and fill with fluids, which can cause bacteria to grow. The sinuses are the air-filled pockets located behind your nose, forehead and cheeks. Mucus is secreted by the lining of your sinuses to act as a protective mechanism, trapping germs. The mucus secretion can increase due to an allergy or bacteria. This blocks the sinus openings. This mucus is a breeding ground for bacteria and other germs that can cause viral or bacteria infection. Sinusitis can be caused by a viral infection that will usually go away in a few weeks or days without treatment.

Sinusitis Types

Three types of sinusitis exist:

1. Acute sinusitis: The duration of acute sinusitis is short. The symptoms of a viral infection can last for up to two weeks. If it’s bacterial, they may last from three to four weeks.
2. Sub-Acute Sinusitis: This condition is usually caused by seasonal allergies and can last for up to three to four months.
3. Chronic Sinusitis is a common condition that occurs when there are structural nasal problems, allergies or bacterial infections. The symptoms can last longer than three months. As their airways become more inflamed, people with allergic rhinitis have a higher risk of developing chronic sinusitis.
