It can help with the pain associated with the infection. Not with infection itself
Hi,
Acupressure can reduce the sinus headache and stuffy nose.

Yes, acupuncture can help speed up your recovery with sinus infections. It can also alleviate some of the discomfort and open up the pathways.

Yes, acupuncture helps with a sinus infection.
I am strongly recommending that you contact your primary physician to address a sinus infection. When the infection is under control then acupuncture and herbal medicine could provide additional relief.
It can certainly help with the symptoms, but you also need to treat the infection. Acupuncture alone cant target that.
There are a number of natural techniques that help relieve sinus conditions. When the condition has reached the stage of infection it ismore difficult to treat, but many people can respond safely without antibiotics; some will need stronger intervention. When I treat sinus infections, I typically will use Cranial Therapy, lymph massage, breathing techniques, acupressure or acupuncture and herbology, often using Rx. Pinellia and Rx. Glycyrrhiza as an antiphlegmatic. Steam showers and hot compresses with lemon essential oil is also helpful. Underlying causes such as Spleen Qi deficiency can be addressed.
Hi, technically, acupuncture can not help any kind of infection. However, it can help to reduce the symptoms related to the infection. Thank you.
Acupressure cannot help with sinus infections. Only a number of acupuncture sessions and herbs can help.
Yes
yes. I encourage you to book a session with your practitioner of choice to get help with relief.
Acupressure may help but it might also irritate the condition. A sinus infection would be an excess condition and acupressure adds to the body while acupuncture reduces excess. Acupuncture can definitely help reduce sinus pain. Acupuncture is not your first stop for sinus infection. Please see a medical practitioner like a doctor or a physician assistant or nurse practitioner first to address the infection. If you require medication, that treatment is important to address along with receiving acupuncture to help you be more comfortable and improve reduction of the recurrence of sinus infections. Once you are under medical care to treat the sinus infection, acupuncture can definitely help you cope with the symptoms and reduce congestion, headache, and discomfort to improve your outcome.
Yes, acupuncture can help with sinus infections, but you may also need to take some herbal formulas or even some antibiotics. Find a practitioner near you and ask if they've had success with sinus infections.
Yes, acupressure can help with sinus infections.
In my experience acupuncture is not an effective way to deal with infection - you need antibiotics. If there is residual congestion after finishing a course of antibiotic therapy then acupuncture can usually help.
