Sinusitis is one of the common conditions that affect people who live in polluted areas. Among the common symptoms, acute and lasting pain in the nasal passages is the most prominent. According to Ayurveda, imbalance of Prana Vata and Shelshaka Kapha leads to sinusitis. Healthy diet plays a major role in reducing inflammation and boosts the immunity. Anti-inflammatory diet is ideal for sinusitis.
