Maxillary Sinusitis
At Dr. Shamim Alig's clinic, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of Maxillary Sinusitis, a common yet debilitating condition affecting the sinus cavities located in the cheekbones. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Shamim Alig combines the best of Unani and Ayurvedic medicine to offer holistic and effective treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Understanding Maxillary Sinusitis: Maxillary Sinusitis, also known as maxillary sinus infection, occurs when the maxillary sinuses become inflamed and swollen due to infection, allergies, or other underlying conditions. This can result in symptoms such as facial pain or pressure, nasal congestion, thick nasal discharge, and sometimes fever or dental pain.
Holistic Treatment Approach: Dr. Shamim Alig employs a comprehensive approach to treating Maxillary Sinusitis, integrating Unani and Ayurvedic therapies with modern medical practices. Our treatment plans focus on alleviating symptoms, clearing the infection, and preventing future occurrences.
Unani Medicine: Unani medicine emphasizes balance and harmony within the body. Treatments may include herbal remedies known for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, dietary adjustments to boost immunity, and lifestyle changes to enhance overall well-being.
Ayurvedic Medicine: Ayurvedic treatments for Maxillary Sinusitis involve the use of natural herbs, nasal irrigation with medicated oils (Neti), steam inhalation, and specific dietary guidelines. Panchakarma therapy, which includes detoxification and rejuvenation procedures, is also employed to strengthen the immune system and promote sinus health.
Therapeutic Procedures:
- Nasal Irrigation (Neti): A gentle procedure that involves rinsing the nasal passages with a saline solution or medicated oils to clear mucus and reduce inflammation.
- Steam Inhalation: Inhaling steam infused with essential oils to open the sinus passages and alleviate congestion.
- Herbal Inhalation: Using herbal smoke or steam to provide relief from sinus congestion and pain.
