- Abstract: Chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS)is a common chronic inflammation of nasal cavity and sinus mucosa,involving multiple pathogenesis mechanisms such as infection,allergic reactions,and immune abnormalities.Its main symptoms include nasal obstruction,rhinorrhea,and hyposmia,sig-nificantly affecting patients' quality of life.Seeking safe and effective long-term treatment methods is crucial for managing CRS.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has a long history of treating CRS and has gained attention due to its profound theoretical basis,high safety,and low recurrence rate.According to TCM,CRS is mostly caused by the invasion of wind-cold-damp pathogens,heat accumu-lation in the Lung meridian,or spleen-stomach weakness.Various therapies such as oral administra-tion of Chinese herbal medicines,nasal drops,acupuncture,and moxibustion are employed to adjust the body's balance and achieve therapeutic goals.This article comprehensively analyzed recent do-mestic and international literature and reviewed the research progress on pathogenesis of CRS and its treatment with TCM,with particular emphasis on roles and mechanisms of active ingredients in Chi-nese herbal medicines.The aim of the study is to provide scientific evidence and technical support for prevention and treatment of CRS.
