Homeopathic
treatment:
What
needs to
be
treated
in
sinusitis
is not
only the
acute
infection
or
inflammation,
but also
the
inherent
tendency
to have
sinusitis
repeatedly.
Individual
tendency
to
frequent
upper
respiratory
infections
or
sinusitis
can best
be
treated
with
homeopathic
approach
of
individualistic
treatment.
Recurring
sinusitis
finds
wonderful
treatment
with
homeopathy.
Homeopathy
treats
acute
infections
as well
as the
tendency
to have
infections
or
allergy.
It is
almost
always
possible
to avoid
antibiotics
and
sinus
surgery
if one
adopts
the
homeopathic
alternative.
Homeopathy
is
strongly
suggested
for
sinusitis |
