Sinusitis


Homeopathic remedies for the symptoms of Sinusitis from A Dictionary of Domestic Medicine by John H.Clarke….


The symptoms of cold in the head need no describing, as they are well known to all. But it is not recognised by everybody that a cold is a constitutional disorder. A chilling of the skin, when it results in a cold in the head, also affects the whole system, producing an abnormal chilliness and sensitiveness to cold. But colds are not always caught in this way; they are often due to atmospheric influences, and, again, often caught from those who have colds. This is especially the case with Influenza colds, in which the cold symptoms are more intense than in cases of ordinary cold and are accompanied by more constitutional disturbance. The treatment is the same for both varieties.

Epidemic influenza is a distinct disease. See INFLUENZA (EPIDEMIC).

General Treatment.–Whenever it is possible it is best to stay in one temperature until a cold has passed off. A liberal dietary, hot drinks, putting extra blankets on the bed, wrapping up the head at night, and putting the feet into hot water, are all well-known remedies for colds, and are all useful in many cases. They should not be neglected by homoeopathists.

Medicines.–(Unless otherwise directed, every hour until relief is obtained, then less often)

Camphor.– (Camphor pilules are the best). Immediately the chill has been taken, and while it is still on. One pilule every fifteen minutes, until the chill is succeeded by a glow. If this does not follow in the course of two or three hours, this medicine should be discontinued, and Aconite given instead.

Aconite 3.– In the early stage of colds, if the initial chill has passed, or when a feverish state has supervened. This may be continued forty-eight hours, by which time, in most cases, the cold will have disappeared.
