Speakers: Todd Caldecott, Dip, CI.H., RH (AHG), CAP (NAMA), AAC Rhinosinusitis refers to inflammation of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, and can be classified as acute or chronic depending on the duration of symptoms. It is estimated to affect upwards of 16% of the population, and has a significant negative impact on the quality of life, associated with chronic fatigue, depression, and cognitive impairment. It is the fifth most common diagnosis for which antibiotics are prescribed, despite the lack of clear evidence for their effectiveness, contributing to the pervasive issue of antibiotic resistance. This lecture provides a practical overview of the holistic treatment of rhinosinusitis, drawn from decades of clinical experience, incorporating elements of nutrition, Ayurveda, lifestyle, and herbal medicine.
