“The Buddhist work ethic is one that holds a spiritual calling to improve the world, using practices like meditation and mindfulness to work more effectively.” 

Buddhist Philosophy. 

This page is dedicated to my cleaning-woman Maroucha, who cured my sinusitis for the first time many years ago with lemon juice (consulted ENT specialist did not have this idea). Hence she gave me the incentive to look for a better treatment than antibiotics for this ailment.

-Prevalence of sinusitis is increasing all over the Globe.

Pollution of air, but also ease of transportation and confluence of agglomerations are main factors for this evolution.

Sinus disease is frequently poorly understood by professionals, and accordingly treatment is seldom correctly applied.

Following short text describes a new treatment of this disease, not yet published in dedicated literature.

It also exposes physio-pathology of disease and therapy. 

An exception is Covid-19 virus, as it promotes a more protracted dry inflammation of sinuses, almost without secretions. 

Among general population and in temperate climates, frequency of viral sicknesses is highest in November and February (Northern Hemisphere, Switzerland).

Involved patients can witness that sinus disease is more frequent in autumn and spring, for instance.

There are probably two reasons to be considered here:

First, with cooling common cold becomes prevailing (Mycoplasma pneumoniae is easily transmitted and ubiquitous).

This germ enhances viral disorders.

Second, last ones are poorly spread by air in frosty weather, and better during milder season. 

Sun radiation plays a major role, our star being nearest to Earth in spring and autumn, which promotes growth of all living organisms. 

Hay fever, especially in spring, exacerbates symptoms. ( Thickens secretions. )

Mucoid and recessus alveolaris cysts: 

Those ones result from obstructed submucosal glands. 

At first inflamed, they end-up with retention. 

They appear and can be prevented in a similar way as sinusitis. 

Running nose, this disorder almost unknown in summer exploses during winter months.

It is well known since more than 50 years that fresh fruit alleviates it.

Also, probably all vitamins help fighting it. Most potent seems to be subcutaneous Vitamin B12, especially in the elderly.

Hence, some deficits play a major role.

Virulent viruses, especially Rhinoviruses are culprits. But this is probably not the only one facet!

Respiratory and gastro-intestinal tracts represent anterior and posterior buds of endoderm.

Thus, intestinal flora occupies also a central position.

Here we should notice that during the warm season decay is everywhere, which is much less of an issue during cold months.

Food is also stored in fridges.

Adjoining living ferments to our dish helps a lot against this ailment, as for instance vinegar, pickles, yoghurt, sauerkraut…

Most potent appears Sauerkraut brine! Beware it is a stroong laxative! 

Corticosteroids: 

Since many years practitioners have observed a benefit of those when prescribed in the healing phase of some infections. 

One situation is that they reduce edema, and might reopen sinus hiatuses. 

In an active phase of aggressive germs they are not warranted, as they strengthen infection. 

Another facette of this positive effect is that every person is subject to fluctuations of mood. Minor in most, this is most pronounced in the maniaco-depressive disorder, a serious  psychotic syndrome, which needs specific therapy and attention from specialists. 

Hence, prescription  of corticoids hightens the mood, and patients feel subjectively better.
