EFFICACY OF AYUSHAKTI HERBAL REMEDIES AND BREATHE EASY NASYA THERAPY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF RHINOSINUSITIS (PINUS)

Abstract

When the mucus membrane within the sinuses becomes infected and inflamed, the condition is called Rhinosinusitis. The causative factors are uncommon; we can consider some causative factors like viral upper respiratory tract infections, bacterial infections, allergy, adenoid vegetation, airway pollutants, some structural anomalies, gastroesophageal reflux disease, immunologic defects, and cystic fibrosis. A disease termed Pratishyaya and Pinus, mentioned in different Ayurvedic Samhitas, has similar symptoms to Rhinosinusitis. Forty patients whose medical history, physical examination available imaging reports, and blood parameters suggested chronic Rhinosinusitis were recruited in the study. Ayushakti herbal medicines, along with Breathe easy Nasya treatment, were administered to the patients for 90 days and were found effective and safe without any side effects. If chronic Rhinosinusitis can be treated successfully, acute cases directly seeking this therapy can be cured and we can restrict them from going into the chronic phase.
