I've practiced Qigong for about 6 years now and can't say enough good things about it. Spring Forest Qigong is very simple to learn. Though I have never suffered from sinusitis, my most chronic issue was depression which it has helped me tremendously and overall I stay healthy. If I come down with something I know how to get rid of it pretty fast and I have tremendous energy. However, I encourage you to do more research. Lots of people are helped by it and Qigong is becoming more and more recognized by the medical industry. It is very similar to acupuncture (which you might want to look into as well) yet you don't use needles, which makes it difficult for people to accept. But it operates according to the energy systems of the body which aren't easy to see and therefore measure. As far as proof is concerned, I personally can't provide anything but anecdotal evidence. I am not a scientist and usually don't look to them to tell me what's good for my body. I trust myself enough to try what I feel naturally drawn to and Qigong 6 years ago felt right to me, and still very much does. And, besides, I am not into some of the side effects of medicines used to treat depression. Try Qigong for awhile and see if it helps you heal some of your sinusitis symptoms. What do you have to lose by imagining lights shooting out of your fingers or your illness turning into millions of little butterflies? You might feel a little silly at first but that passes once you immerse yourself in how good you feel. You don't have to spend any money, the two exercises he describes as well as that 15 meditation can help you tremendously. You can even try these exercises for a 30 day trial. So much of Qigong is based on the power of visualization which might appeal to many people on this forum. You must practice often, however. Once you heal yourself of sinusitis there are many other uses for this practice as well.

Qigong is a healing system based in Taoism and it teaches us to look at illnesses as blockages in our body. Some more serious than others. Once you open up the energy channels and release the blockages you can heal much faster. Taking medicine is a way of healing these blockages, however, lots of medicines contain toxic side effects that can lead to other problems. I recommend you do a Spring Forest Qigong search on You Tube. Many people talk about their experiences with it. Whatever approach you decide to use to heal your sinusitis, I wish you much success.
