SCHWABE Alpha-SH (Sinus Headache)

DESCRIPTION:-

Nasal cavities are lined by a mucous membrane opening into the nasal cavity. During inhalation very often the inhaled air is contaminated by pollutants and pathogenic microorganisms. It can affect the sinuses.

Headache is a common symptom of congested or infected sinuses. Alpha-SH covers a range of causes like infection, inflammation, suppuration, and excretion and helps to heal.

The five ingredients in their totality act very successfully on the different complaints in sinus conditions, such as inflammations of the maxillary and frontal sinuses. In this way, the typical symptoms of inflammations of the sinus of the nose, i.e. dull headache, stupor, watering eyes, but also nerve pains in the face, can quickly and lastingly be improved. Cinnabaris acts specially in the initial stage of the disease. The components Hydrastis, Kali bichromicum and Baryta muriatica on the other hand influence mainly the subacute and chronic processes, as they are frequently observed in protracted sinus conditions. It reduces the swelling of the mucosa and through this makes breathing through the nose easier. It also causes a reduction in the secretions and that way contributes to a reduction of the sensation of pressure in the head. Echinacea contributes to a general increase in the body’s defences. It stimulates the convalescence in febrile infections and reduces generally the frequency of recurrences.
