dc.description.abstract Sinusitis is a common disease in the present era, due to increase in environmental pollution and the busy lifestyles of today. Improper management of this stage leads to sinusitis, which may later lead to chronic sinusitis. This chronic sinusitis is too difficult to drain out completely. It remains as a focus of infection, leading to inflammation in all associated structures, e.g., the tonsils, ear, pharynx, larynx etc. Considering all these facts, carried out this clinical trial to find out the evaluation of the effect and efficacy of an herbal formula selected from Sri Lankan Ola leaves manuscript in the management of chronic sinusitis. Total 30 patients were randomly selected for the present clinical study on the criteria for the diagnosis of the disease Chronic sinusitis.
