Natural Relief for sinus infections with homeopathy

Sinus pain and infections are common, and often people resort to nasal decongestants or antibiotics to treat them, but did you know that homeopathy can be a wonderful alternative support? Read on below to learn about homeopathic medicines which can support sinusitis. If none of these remedies fits your symptoms, it is best to book an acute consult to get an individual prescription.

Lycopodium: Blocked nose, post-nasal drip and possibly thick nasal discharge.

Sanguinaria: Chronic or acute sinusitis where headache (especially right-sided headache) is present. Nasal discharge may be minimal.

Spigellia: Left-sided sinus headache or pains in the eyeball.

Pulsatilla: Usually later in the infection when the discharge is green and thick. Patient will be worse in a warm, stuffy room.

Hepar Sulph: Pain in the bones of the face, which may be accompanied by a sore throat or mucous in the throat causing hawking. May be better for warm, humid air or have offensive odour in the nose.

Antimonium Crudum: Nostrils are dry and there is extreme heaviness and pain in the cheekbones and maxillary sinuses. There may be nosebleeds.

Kali Bichromium: Ropy, stringy discharge which may be thick and yellow or green. There may be pressure or pain at the root of the nose and in the forehead.

Pyrogen: Nasty infections with pus in the sinuses.

Glonoine: Extreme pressure in the head, feels like head will explode.

Hydrastis: Thick or tenacious nasal discharge, often yellow. Supports drainage of sinuses.

Belladonna: Sinusitis when pain is throbbing or pulsating.
