TCM and Sinus Help

[Lucius Invictus [NG]]

My sinuses are always inflamed. I went to my doctor who prescribed nasal spray and it helps but it's not that effective. I was thinking I'd try a more ancient medicine such as TCM. However, every TCM website tells me to get a different herb.

Note* It's the worst at night and upon awaking. it gets better throughout the day. I also have a cat that I suspected might have to do with my sinuses but I grew up with pets and never used to have a problem.

Any suggestions?

Do your sinuses hurt?

Is there any expectoration of mucous?

If so, what is the colour?

Is there blood streaks in it?

Do you have any other persistent bodily symptoms such as cough, nausea, frontal or temple headaches? Muscle pain and fibromyalgic symptoms?

The more information you provide, the better the diagnosis and therefore any treatment recommendations will be.

The root of the problem is your stomach not having enough yang energy to digest the sugar from the food that you eat which results in heating. The body produces mucus to fight the heat.

The core solution of your problem lies in spiritual squares of either mercury,sun or mars in that priority.
There is mercury square upcoming in June. Prepare for your squares by doing ample AoP so that you do not mess up any counts and even if you do mess up, you can just nullify the energies and start again in that very same day. Look, none of physical medicines or any physical solutions will ever help you cure your problem.

In the meanwhile, acupuncture therapy by a specialist and runic healing working that involves male energy runes like Sowilo, Uruz etc will help. I advise you to start a runic healing working soon. I do not have much knowledge about runes and do not know which combination of runes would provide you with ample yang to heal your problem. You can ask an advanced member here for such a combination that is both healing and increases the yang energy permanently.

Keep up with the runic healing working even after you have started the square. Never get cocky and stop the square even if your nose block seems to have completely disappeared. I got cocky in the exact manner and had to deal with the consequences.

In the meanwhile, stop eating any food that increases heat in your stomach. Completely remove grains from your diet and any food that has 'masala' in it. Avoid spicy food like plague and only eat food that is cooling to your stomach. Foods that increase good bacteria in your stomach like curd and cucumber is advised. You can forgo good bacteria increasing food but you can never forgo cooling foods because your diet is directly related to what you are suffering from. If possible, drink apple cider vinegar with mother after you wake up. Do not worry that you will have to put up with such restrictions throughout your life. You can slowly ease after having done at least one spiritual square of either of the three planets and completely remove such restrictions after some point in time. However, until you complete your very first square, do follow the above restriction. The primary reason is so that you can vibrate the square freely and reduce the potential of errors during vibrations.

Also, one last question, are you able to vibrate 'Mmm....' without any difficulties or does the nose block prevent you from freely vibrating 'Mmm....' ? If so, how often do you encounter difficulty in vibrating 'Mmm...' ? If you sinus is stressed even a little when you vibrate 'Mmm....' at any time of the day,then do let me know about it as this question is vital for completely removing your problem from its very root.

This was a great reply I appreciate it. So for the squares, you recommend programming them to increase my general vitality or specifically healing the sinuses/respiratory system?

And I can't vibrate mmm in the morning until after Hatha yoga. I am at my worst upon awaking, my sinuses feel so hot and dry and inflamed. The mucus is not runny but dry and stuck.

 

[Centralforce666]

I really need to point out that the advice that you lack yang energy is very incorrect...

The root cause is obstruction of yang energy due to phlegm and heat congestion NOT deficiency.

I suspect that building your yang energy will only get you so far.

When you're ready to address the actual cause, please respond to my prior questions.

Please also note I mean no disrespect to anyone answering questions here, but a Chinese Medicine Doctor, I cannot simply let incorrect diagnosis be taken as gospel, this is someone's health we are talking about.

Hey brother/sister, I didn't mean to ignore you. I will answer your questions below.

Do your sinuses hurt? - No, they just feel inflamed but no pain.

Is there any expectoration of mucous? - No I don't cough up mucus, there is a build up of very dry mucus in my nose that needs to be manually picked out.

If so, what is the colour?- dry green

Is there blood streaks in it? - 50% of the time yes

Do you have any other persistent bodily symptoms such as cough, nausea, frontal or temple headaches? Muscle pain and fibromyalgic symptoms? - No, except I am fatigued all the time because I can't breathe properly, I mouth breathe a lot.

Thanks for looking into this.

 

[Lucius Invictus [NG]]

Just gonna jump in and say thanks to all my comrades in Satan. I will take all of your advice and apply it.

I missed the 31st because of the VOC but the 7th is the next Mars square day and I will be doing a working for general energy and vitality.

Mercury squares are also coming and I will utilize those as well and program it towards my lungs.

And lastly the Sun, which is also approaching.

Btw, I already do regular Cleaning, Hatha, Pranayama, and runic workings like an AOP. Just an FYI in case anyone was wondering.

These symptoms indicate phlegm-fire, the location of which is the chest and upper burner

The herbal therapy indicated is Wen Dan Tang or Bamboo and Holen formula.

This formula clears heat and resolves phlegm.

Following that, any other apparent syndrome can be addressed.

For anyone interested, a common mistake when learning Chinese medicine is to ascribe and treat the apparent underlying deficiencies when there is phlegm involved.

Phlegm is a serious condition and complicates the body considerably. There is a saying in the classic books that phlegm is the root of the 10,000 diseases, meaning it can cause all kinds of problems.

When applying herbal therapy, to use a nourishing formula which increases yang of the spleen or kidney, so too will you increase the phlegm and therefore make the patient worse.

I liken phlegm to blockages within the pipes of a house.

Increasing water pressure (yang) may move the blockage (phlegm) but it also may push it somewhere harder to reach and more dangerous.

It is only by treating the water with strong corrosive chemicals to break down the blockage that we can achieve a drainage of the waste via the faucets (sweat, tears, urination, vomitus, defecation and ejaculation).

After the blockage is gone, the function may return to normal, at which point no further treatment may be necessary.

Or, another underlying syndrome may become evident, but the presence of phlegm complicates and obscures the actual body condition.

I have seen this first hand, time and time again in clinical practice treating the public.

You are of course welcome to question my merit and expertise on the subject of Chinese medicine, I have no problem with that for without questioning, how can one truly understand?

I have not been present on the forums for some time and there are numerous reasons for this both personal and spiritual.

I am aiming to be more active now.

Thank-you so much for this reply. Before I saw this I took it upon myself to go to a TCM shop and I bought Pe Min Kan Wan , will this also help along with the other herbs you suggested?

My sinuses are always inflamed. I went to my doctor who prescribed nasal spray and it helps but it's not that effective. I was thinking I'd try a more ancient medicine such as TCM. However, every TCM website tells me to get a different herb.

Note* It's the worst at night and upon awaking. it gets better throughout the day. I also have a cat that I suspected might have to do with my sinuses but I grew up with pets and never used to have a problem.

Any suggestions?

Ever since I started working and welding in boilers I have noticed myself getting a sore throat and a sinus infection every 3 months or so. Especially when I have been working somewhere for a while in general, I have the same, with it being the worst in the morning and at night. There would be times the congestion in my nasal passages would ruin a yoga session esp with inverted asanas. It was one of the things that caused yoga to become sporadic along with fatigue from retarded long hours compared to when i lived in the EU. (in the process of being fixed thank good ness)

Anyway nasal sprays are probably just a bandaid on the situation, in my take. If i was you i would get tested for allergies. I did notice however while doing my moon square back in February, that sinus trouble and post nasal drip decreased. I have a habit now coming back from work when i go on jobs, that i inhale some water in my nose and blow it back out to clean out my nasal passages. (just make sure its clean and filtered)

Also, Dr. Blitz you have another patient hehe.

Yea I will probably see if I have allergies as well. Btw good for you for working in a trade like that, not trying to sound sexist but most woman don't make it in jobs like that, or aren't as respected. Very cool and very impressed.

Pe Min Kan Wan is not a classical Chinese Medicine formula, it is an empirical herbs formula.

It is created on the basis that herbs are like pharmaceutical medicines and can be applied as such.

If you get results from it, they will only be for the time you are taking them, and they will not correct the internal imbalance causing the problem.

They may in fact exacerbate it, as some of the herbs included are heavy yin nourishing herbs which can increase load on digestion and thus produce more phlegm.

Many women do not have the strength and stamina because they are generally built very different. I have some aspects in my chart that manifest in me being an exception, but only to an extent. I do experience mistreatment and frequent dismissal but it is often met with regret, especially when i TIG weld circles around them.

For anyone curious, I am about 1/4 way through a mars square for energy and vitality and have had ATLEAST a 75% improvement towards my sinuses.

I want thank those who have helped me.

Also, to CentralForce, I never got the chance to try what you recommended to me as geographically I couldn't find the product no matter where I tried. They were all empirical system and not classic. I did look online and found only 1 site that offered it to my location but the cost of shipping was more than the product itself. Thank-you anyways and I will keep your advice in mind.

It is of utmost importance that you keep up with the square and never skip a single day with it. I had made such a mistake and had to deal with the consequences.

Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing the results.


I had some questions to ask if you don't mind:

1. Is it only you who gets sore throats and sinus infection when you work and weld in boilers or is it the same with your co-workers ?

2. How is your sinus during holidays and weekends ? Are they comparatively better or are they inflamed as when you work ?

3. If your colleagues do get sinus infection, is it only when they are working or does their condition follow them back to their residence and thus their daily life ?

4. Could you research on what kind of particles are released when you weld or do similar work ? You do not need to share what you weld here.

I wanted to find out if the particles released in the work environment affects only you via sinus infections and sore throats or if it affects everyone else besides you in the same manner.

5. Did these symptoms appear after you started welding and working in boilers ? Did you have any such symptoms before this welding work and before the job which had night shifts ?

I wanted to check if there is a connection between your work and your sinus problems or if you had such problems before you even started working in this field.

6. How many hours do you sleep per day and at what time do you sleep ?

I believe that quality sleep, sleeping for at least 7-8 hours and sleeping at right time decreases sinus symptoms. Sleeping before 11 is advised.

Of course, you do not need to share the answers you found to any of the questions above here if they infringe your privacy. I hope that the above questions help you in guiding you in finding the solution to your problem. Also, Dear Sister, why not do an appropriate working to find a job that is less stressing and one which provides you with lots of free time for spiritual advancement with the pay being same or more? It might be my second time recommending you to find another job. A munka working along with a appropriate wealth working should definitely help you find a high paying job that aligns with your health and spiritual advancement. Although, I feel myself crossing lines by advising such.

Also, I apologize on advising keto diet to you only after browsing a few websites and without considering your circumstances. It was wrong and immature of me to do so. I will be careful next time and only advise members here after thorough research and with caution.

I am certain the issue is occupational, however they cannot test for the irritants specifically.

As for your second to last paragraph, trust me i am on it, and am working with a planetary square as well for the planet that rules my midheaven to help with this, followed by a suns square very soon. It will take time and work but I do have to make something happen, because I am not feeling this boilermaking shit :x
