Sinusitis is a common condition that affects many people each year. It occurs when the sinuses—the air-filled spaces in the nose and head—become inflamed and swollen, often as a result of an infection following a cold or flu. Allergies, such as pollen in the summer, can make symptoms worse. While most cases of sinusitis clear up on their own within two to three weeks, it becomes chronic sinusitis (chronic rhinosinusitis) when the symptoms persist for 12 weeks or longer after repeated episodes of acute sinusitis. This condition can affect both adults and children and can significantly impact your quality of life.

Allergy/intolerance testing can be very useful in the treatment and management of many conditions such as weight loss and weight gain, sluggish metabolism, digestive complaints of all types, heartburn, acidity, ulcers, bloating, IBS, colitis, diverticulitis, sinusitis, migraine, upper respiratory and ear infections, tiredness, fatigue, sleep issues, hyperactivity and behavioural issues in children; recurrent infection hormonal issues related to menopausal and menstrual problems; and skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis.
