Treating sinusitis may be best left to a professional homeopath, who can work out why you have it, then treat the cause. This is likely to be the most permanent resolution for you, as homeopathy works by bringing up your immune system.

This allows your body to do which it is always attempting to do - and that is to keep you healthy, preventing disease or curing it when it can't totally prevent it.

Many other forms of treatment can just mask the effects, without dealing with the cause, so it recurs. In addition, other health issues may arise or get worse, showing your overall health has taken a tumble.

This is the opposite of what happens when a health issue is treated with homeopathy. Your immune system becomes better, your energy improves and your ailments come less often, are less intense or disappear altogether.

When treating any health issue with homeopathy, you need to be able to work out which is the most appropriate medicine for your ailment. The homeopathic medicine Kali bich is almost a specific for treating sinusitis as long as your symptoms match.

The strong keynote symptoms of Kali bich are:

• the discharge is thick, sticky, stringy
• the discharge is usually yellow
• the mucous won't drain, it accumulates in the sinus, so building up pressure
• if the mucous does drain, it tends to be post nasal
• you have a strong nasal quality to your voice

A minor keynote of this medicine is that you may build up crusts in your nose, which are so deeply attached, they bleed when you try to remove them.
