Why homeopathy for sinusitis treatment?

Homeopathy, developed in the late 18th century, operates on the 'like cures like' principle, where substances causing symptoms in healthy individuals are used in diluted forms to treat similar symptoms in the ill. This alternative medicine customizes remedies to individual symptoms and patient characteristics, not just the disease diagnosis. For sinusitis, remedies are selected based on specific symptoms like pain nature, discharge type, and factors affecting symptom intensity.

While advocates tout homeopathy for stimulating the body's healing and restoring balance, its principles and effectiveness remain debated despite clinical trials and patient success stories. As always, consult a healthcare professional before starting any treatment, including homeopathy, to ensure informed and safe healthcare decisions
