what is sinusitis?

• sinuses are air-filled cavities in the face that connect with the nasal passages
• sinusitis is an inflammation of these cavities
• swollen membranes obstruct the opening of the cavities creating pressure and pain
• mucous builds up in the sinuses and if it does not drain, it may become infected
• causes of sinus inflammation include allergic reactions (grasses, pollens, dust, pollution) and viral, bacterial or fungal infections due to colds and flu
• in some cases, recurring allergic sinus problems may be alleviated by restricting acid-forming foods like sugars, sweets, fizzy drinks, cakes, biscuits, white bread, oranges, dairy. This will help reduce histamine levels in the body and reduce the allergic response

"snotty-nose syndrome" in children
This is a common problem in children where the symptoms include post-nasal drip initially, nasal congestion and pain followed by thick mucus which then blocks the nose and the Eustachian tubes leading to the ears resulting in painful blocked ears and possible ear infections. Many children need to have grommets inserted to help the ears to drain. Mucus that sits in the tubes and does not drain can easily become infected. By decongesting and thinning the mucus & keeping the tubes and passages clear of mucus, one can avert possible ear problems. Allergies can be a factor here too as they may provide the catalyst to the sequence of events leading to the snotty nose syndrome. By using a combination of the relevant pegasus remedies listed below, one can effectively treat these conditions and reduce the discomfort they cause.

pegasus remedies for sinus-related problems

• sinus 30C - helps reduce sinus congestion & inflammation, post-nasal drip, eases frontal pain & pressure, eases painful blocked ears
• muco drainol 30C - helps to drain thick mucus that blocks the nose, ears or chest
• histamine comp 30C - a homeopathic ‘anti-histamine’. If sinus is allergic in nature, this remedy helps to address the allergic component
• anti-virabac 1M - a homeopathic ‘antibiotic’, if started early can help with infections

combine more than one remedy, depending on symptoms:

• sinus 30C plus muco drainol 30C for painful congestion with thick mucus - aids drainage of mucus & can prevent secondary infections. For best results, it’s recommended that these 2 remedies be used together. They work together to resolve the condition. Dose 5 minutes apart as described in the dosage guidelines
• sinus 30C plus histamine comp 30C where sinus is allergic in nature – add muco drainol 30C if mucus is thick
• add anti-virabac 1M to any combination if an infection is suspected - start at the earliest stage
• do not combine more than 3 remedies at a time
• if dosing more than one remedy at a time, leave 5 - 10 minutes between dosing to allow absorption of each to occur

dosing
It is recommended that one dose each episode according to the directions for each remedy. It may be tempting to carry on dosing once the acute episode is over, in the hope that ‘it might not come back’. However, it would be more beneficial to dose with each episode and to have a break in between. With each episode, the remedies are attempting to bring the body back to balance and thus by dosing regularly with each episode, one is helping the body to heal the underlying cause.

An exception however, is if there is some aspect of the condition chronically present. Homeopathic remedies will act only if there are symptoms to act upon. Therefore, it might be an idea to reduce the frequency of the dosing once the ‘acute’ episode is over. One could try dosing once a day for a week or so, then twice a week for a while and then perhaps once a week – whatever dose will keep the symptoms at bay. Remember that each dose is a ‘reminder’ to the body to stay in balance. In this way, one can ‘tailor’ the dosing according to the symptoms. Obviously, if the acute symptoms flare up again, one would dose accordingly as directed in the acute dosing instructions for each remedy.
