Indications:
A homeopathic remedy for acute sinus-related conditions (e.g. postnasal drip & resulting cough, continual clearing of the throat, sinus congestion and pain, sinus headaches and painful blocked ears.)
For allergic sinusitis, add histamine comp 30c.
For infections, add anti-virabac 200c at the earliest stage.
When dosing more than one remedy at a time, alternate the dosing.
It is highly recommended to use this remedy in conjunction with the muco drainol 30c remedy if there is thick mucus present in sinus conditions, ‘snotty noses’ and blocked ears.
