Your sinus issues may just be due to Vitamin D deficiency!

Updated from 15th September, 2013. Wow! This is an old post and almost of the time when I was about to get married. Nostalgic… Anyways, I found a new comment on this post and how the reader mentioned this was a helpful piece of information and she faced the same issue of sinus attack due to deficiency of vitamin D. Hope you find it useful as well.


After like a long time, I am doing a health post. All the credit goes to my friend who had suffered from severe sinus issues for the past 10 days and has embarked on a new research to find out the reason and today she just happened to stumble on this piece of information!

So, what she says is something like this. Vitamin D deficiency is perhaps the reason for most of the respiratory issues, PCOD and even infertility. But, today we are going to focus on sinusitis. (Source)

Basically, any respiratory issue gets inherently triggered by Vitamin D deficiency like asthma, sinus, etc. Also, the surgeries prescribed for sinus issues do no good. What happens is that when infection gets triggered, the sinus cavities get filled and blocked and they are not able to drain the mucus.

Also, if you are prescribed antibiotics, please remember that they are not the preferred solution. Why? Because one is never sure what triggered the infection – bacteria, virus or if its a fungal infection. If the mucus is tested, a proper treatment can be given.

But, when a generic treatment is done, the antibiotics prescribed are extremely strong in dosage and they do more harm to the body than good. So, avoid taking antibiotics as and when you can. Also, homeopathic treatment has been known to do a bit of good so you might wanna try it out.

What to do when you have an attack of Sinus?

  • Steam Inhalation
  • Oil Pulling

Did you know that sinus is linked to Vitamin D deficiency?

Sinus is a practically un-treatable lifestyle issue one has to live with. It can only be controlled through good lifestyle practices and habits. So, next time before popping a pill for your migraine, try meditation and controlling the intake of cold food and drinks. That helps to a lot of extent. I prefer steam inhalation. And, I have also observed nasal drops to help with sinus. May be you could give it a try!

      hi Prashant…i don’t think oil pulling really has any connection to tea or coffee so i would advise you to start it asap. yes, on the other hand, do limit your intake of coffee or tea as it can cause acidity and bloating.

    Yes! yes and yes! Vitamin D deficiency has become too common now and it even leads to depression and exhaustion in people. Great post Swati!

    I hate the overuse of antibiotics! I too used to suffer from sinusitis (stopped a few years back) and got the most relief with steam inhalation. I never thought about a Vitamin D deficiency!

    Sinus is my worst enemy. I have tried what all u told. Other than avoiding the reasons which cause it , like few smells, too cold water etc etc I could do nothng
    I try taking steam – karvol plus and pop a tablet mostly its sinarest or somethng else.
    Recently there was a nasal spray. still not in dispensaries but it works well but not recommended by all… forgot the name though 🙁

    Hi Swati,
    I know this is an old.post, but I HAVE to respond. Thank you for this information! I suffered from very bad sinusitis and chronic nasal/head congestion for years. I’m negative for allergies. I couldn’t seem to find a pattern to the problem. No doctor had answers. After finally exhausted, fatigued, hair falling out, trouble breathing, dizziness, heart palpitations, unexplained anxiety and moodiness, body pains, PMS, 3 rounds of horrible antibiotics in 90 days & visits to ENT & primary doctor, we figured it out! I’m vitamin D deficient. After just three weeks on D3 supplements, I’m totally cured. I have NONE of the symptoms including nasal congestion. I breathe normally for the first time in years. Most of my PMS symtoms are gone. My hair isn’t falling out. I’m happy and full of life and energy. I wish the world, and all doctors, knew this!!
