Sinusitis or inflammation of mucosa is very common complaint in clinical practice seen recently. The common symptoms of sinusitis are nasal blockage or obstruction, feeling of heaviness in cheeks, severe headache, mucosal discharge and sleep disturbances. Mookadaipu which is also known as Peenisam or Sinusitis in Siddha literature bears a resemblance to clinical symptoms of Chronic sinusitis of Modern medicine like Nasal congestion, mucous production, altered secretion and nasal blockages causing breathing issues. Elimination of mucous, reliving of obstruction, cleansing the channel is the line of treatment. Siddha vaidyam, an ancient and old therapy has proved to be treating many patients with such conditions by traditional techniques of using hand pressures and massage. Siddha believes by aligning body energies (mind, body and spirit), and aims to treat all disorders from the root cause. In this article, we present a case report of 29 years old woman with Chronic Sinusitis who underwent 4 siddha sessions for reliving the obstruction in nasal passage along with Cervical sessions and has a good result without complications. Different hand pressures like Thadaval and Amartthal to stimulate "varmam" points at neck and nasal area were administered, which helps in reducing the severity of symptoms. The symptoms presented by patient at time of admission like nasal obstruction, breathlessness, sleeplessness, stiffness in neck, headache, mouth breathing, snoring which were at scale 9 was lowered to 2 on completing the treatment on VAS scale. The changes can be felt by patients by changes in severity in symptoms and routine work activities. Clinically can be justified by pre and post x-rays of Paranasal sinus (PNS).
