Sinusitis Treatment at Pyunkang
Sinusitis:
Inflammation from
Trapped Mucus
Sinusitis: Inflammation in the Sinuses
Inflammation caused by mucus that cannot drain properly
The walls of the sinuses are lined with tiny hairs and mucous membranes that help filter bacteria
and cool brain heat as mucus passes through.
However, when you catch a cold or rhinitis causes swelling, the sinus openings can become blocked.
Once blocked, fresh air cannot circulate, and the trapped mucus stagnates, creating an environment
for bacteria and fungi to grow.
This stagnant mucus leads to infection, commonly called sinusitis, literally meaning “pus accumulation in the sinuses.”
Sinusitis: Early Treatment is Key
Sinusitis (rhinosinusitis) develops when mucus secretions cannot properly drain due to structural or physiological issues,
leading to bacterial infection and inflammation.
Prevention is crucial by avoiding colds, and if sinusitis occurs, early treatment is needed to prevent chronic progression.
The sinuses are connected to the eyes and ears, so untreated sinusitis can easily spread,
leading to complications like otitis media or conjunctivitis.
Acute Sinusitis
Most commonly follows a bacterial infection after a cold.
Symptoms include nasal congestion, runny nose, postnasal drip,
facial pain or pressure, along with fever and fatigue.
Key Symptoms
- Nasal congestion
- Runny nose
- Postnasal drip (mucus draining into the throat)
- Facial pain/pressure
- Fever and fatigue
Chronic Sinusitis
Develops when sinusitis is left untreated or when acute sinusitis
occurs repeatedly over time.
Key Symptoms
- Breathing difficulty due to nasal blockage
- Persistent nasal discharge
- Ear pain
- Frequent sneezing
Pyunkang Korean
Medicine Hospital’s
Root-Cause Care
Comprehensive treatment beyond just the nose is essential
Herbal medicine combined with acupuncture provides more effective results.
Acupuncture is usually performed 1–2 times per week.
By stimulating points such as Hegu, Quchi, Yingxiang, and Bitong, we help restore nasal function,
strengthen immunity, and improve the overall health of the nasal mucosa.
Pyunkang Hospital’s Root-Cause Care
Pyunkang-tang relieves lung heat and restores fluid balance
At Pyunkang Hospital, we view nasal disease as stemming from lung disorders, since “the nose is connected to the lungs.”
Our treatment clears heat and inflammation from the lungs, reopens blocked passages, and promotes natural mucus drainage.
When lung heat is resolved, the tonsils strengthen, lymphocytes become active, and the immune system restores itself,
preventing colds and eliminating sinusitis at the root.

Pyunkang Hospital’s Lung-Clearing Therapy
Fei Zhu Bi (肺主鼻): The lungs govern the nose
The nose is the first gateway to the lungs and supports their function.
If lung heat and toxins are not discharged properly, conditions like sinusitis
develop in these auxiliary respiratory organs.
Pyunkang-tang normalizes and strengthens lung function, addressing
the root cause of sinusitis.

Pyunkang-tang(hwan) extract
may alleviate respiratory diseases
and pulmonary fibrosis effectively.
A research paper on Pyunkang-tang(hwan) was published in the October 2016
issue of the SCI-level international journal JTCM, receiving scientific recognition.
The study showed that hardened lung tissue improved after taking
Pyunkang-tang(hwan) extract, and that rats exposed to sulfur dioxide,
which caused increased sputum production, showed reduced sputum
secretion after administration of the extract.

on Pulmonary Fibrosis
After administering bleomycin (BLM),
a substance that causes lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis,
each group was treated differently with Pyunkang-tang (PGT) and dexamethasone (a steroid drug).
The study showed that in the group with histopathological changes in the lungs,
oral administration of Pyunkang-tang (PGT) alleviated the severity of pulmonary fibrosis.
