Suggest Remedies For Clogged Nose And Throat Due To Sinus Issues

Hello, and thank you for helping patients like myself on a Saturday night. I have been prescribed Ru-hist D Phenyle/Bromph 10/4 mg (1/2, 2x day) for sinus issues. (Because I have high blood pressure, I cannot take OTC medication). My sinus issue seems to have gotten worse. Mainly, with lots of phlegm in my throat. I don t know how to get rid of it. Can I increase this dose until I can speak to my prescribing Doctor on Monday? Or do you have any suggestions to help clear my nose and mainly throat? My sincere thanks! Kelly

Remedy 1 In the beginning of the problem, one should have lemon juice with water for three days or fast, having water only. Then, for next five days keep a strict watch on your diet, eliminating the above mentioned foods. After a week, increase the amount you eat, including foods like roti during lunch and dinner along with vegetables, salad, curd and sprouted cereals. After recovery, the patient should regularly have a vapour bath in the morning. Afterwards, cold waist bath and spinal cord bath is also suggested, which increases one's immunity.

Remedy 2 A good remedy is to have ginger with honey. All you need to do is mix ginger powder with jaggery and make tablets weighing 5 grams (approx.). Have these tablets twice a day. Alternatively, you could have a concoction made with 11 leaves of basil (tulsi), black pepper 11 in number, sugar candy 20 grams, ginger 2 grams and one glass full of water. Boil all the ingredients till it is reduced to half, strain it and have it while it is still warm. Don’t take bath for around one-and-a-half hour after having this medicine and make sure you rest for a while. Continue these activities for five days and you should get imminent relief.

Remedy 3: One should perform pranayama, janusheershasan, ardhmatyendrasan, dhanurasan, chakrasan, shalabasan, bhujangasan, sarvangasan, halasan, matyasan, shavasan, morning walk and meditation for 15 minutes, which helps in increasing the immunity. These are some simple steps to avoid and overcome sinusitis.

Tips for patients
• Should perform yoga every day.
• Sinusitis can be cured through steam inhalation of basil leaves.
• Inhalation should be done six times a day.
• Do Pranayam (yogic breathing) in the form of Kapal Bharathi (forced exhalation).
• In chronic sinus pain the steam may need to be continued for 2 years
