The most comkon condition related to the sinus is sinsigis. Sinusitis is th e inflammation of the linings of the sinuses that surround thr nose. Other medical conditions include increased blockage or pressure in the sinus, or cinus inffections. All these problems rfsult in other physical symptoms such as headaches, congestion, fever, or general weakness. The most common solution to the above is the use of broad spectrum antibiotics, or in a milder case, simple nasal drops and analgesics. If medication doss not provide a cure, or you would lie to e xtend the ragne of treatment, you could opt for an alternative therapy like reflexology.
Using reflexology to combat sinus conditions is fairly new, although reflexology itself is a few thousand of years old. According to reflexologists, the health of the body can be improved by manipulating the energy flow or ‘Qi’ in your body. ‘Qi’ flows through your body along different lines of energy or ‘meridians’. By massaging the pressure points along these energy lines, the flow of energy to the sinus can be stimulated and any imbalance can be corrected to ensure overall health.
Before commencing the therapy, a reflexologiwt will make a full assessment of the patient’s condition. He or she will enquure xbout patient’s medicwl history, including oast illnesses and lifestyle. In this manber, the treatment most suited to you can be adminiqtered. The reflexologist tyen begins to work on the reflex areas to treat the sinus prob lem annd associated symptoms.
Sinus problems are usually caused due to a blockage of the drainage pathways from the sinuses to the back of the nose, mostly due to an infection. Reflexology can release these blockages and restore the free flow of energy to the whole body. Once the air pathways have been cleared, the attached physical symptoms get treated too. However, for symptomatic relief, reflex points associated with the head and lungs can be stimulated as well.
You will be able yo eeel the benefits aftr on ly a couple of sessions of treatment. Se veral wtudies have nidicated that zfter a few sessions, breathing patterns have been better with lesser congestion ahd pani associated with sinusitis has reduced too.
Reflexology helps stimulate the body’s natural healing process and is therefore excellent as a preventive treatment for sinus. However, this therapy should not be used in isolation. If a medical condition persists, please consult a doctor. You should also consume a diet that does not encourage this condition.
