Sinusitis: Tips, suggestions and cure :: My experience with a patient

Randall Williams, my patient who is also a friend, would always come to my clinic with several health problems, from headache to toe sprain. However, I noticed one thing most of the time when I’d attend to him: he was suffering from sinusitis. But at no point of time, would he bring that up. It was obvious that he was taking that illness for granted or blaming it on his genetic makeup. One day, when he had come to me to tend a fracture (yes he is a football champ), I asked him a question that threw him off-guard, “Randall, you come here with varied problems. But why on earth, have you never for once discussed about your sinusitis?” He smiled in resignation and said, “Well, it is a common problem and I have been having it since childhood. I don’t think that could ever go.”

“Oh really?” I raised my eyebrows. “I don’t think so. There are remedies for sinusitis. Do not take an illness for granted.” I told him about how sinusitis strikes an individual. “Randall, do you know what sinuses are? They are basically, a pair of hollow cavities that are located in the bones of the skull that surrounds the nasal passages (medically called paranasal sinuses). Sinusitis happens due to the blockages in the little tubes that are connected to these nasal passages.” Randall agreed that it would give him headaches as well which would go away after popping a tablet.  I replied, “You always seem to tackle the symptoms rather than hit the root cause of the problem. Let me show you how you can cure sinusitis through natural remedies.”

Randall was all ears as I advised him to take 5 grams of black pepper powder and mix it with warm milk and drink. “You can also, “I continued, “mix half a spoon of fresh garlic with 2 tsp of honey. If you take this regularly, your sinusitis will be a thing of past. You may also consume fresh onion juice mixed with honey to cure sinusitis. Boil some ginger slices and drink the extraction when it is luke-warm. This should clear mucous and blockages.’

“Whoa!” Randall exclaimed, “So many options! Why dint I ask you sinusitis cure before?” “Your mistake.” I winked with a smile, “By the way, steam inhalation with ajwain should also help.” I patted his head as I put a fresh bandage on his arm, “You need to take some preventive measures as well, young boy.  Stay away from eating fried, starchy foods. I don’t need to tell you that you should avoid frozen foods. Also avoid perfumes and scented oils.” Randall got down from the clinic bed and said, “Thanks doc. I will keep your advice in mind and implement them.”

Randall met me after 2 months at the football ground, he looked jubilant. “I have got to thank you, doc” he said cheerfully, “My parents and friends are amazed to find that I do not have sinusitis anymore!”  I beamed. “Well that calls for a toast’ He laughed, ‘Sure. Lets head to this spanking new eatery after football, shall we?”
