Nasosinusitis, one of the commonly encountered diseases in the five sensory organs due to inflammation of the nasosinusal mucus, is either acute or chronic disease. Usually chronic nasosinusitis is more common. The clinical mani-festations are profuse nasal thick discharge, nasal obstruc-tion, headache or vertigo, and hyposmia. This disease pertains to the conception of "nasosinusitis" in TCM caused by accumulation of pathogenic factors in the nasal cavity due to failure of pulmonary qi to disperse resulting from exogenous pathogenic cold and heat attack; or by failure of qi and blood to nourish the nose due to asthenia of the spleen and lung.
