#1
Wink 
[size=4][b]Sinusitis Draining - How to Use a Neti Pot in Three Simple Steps[/b][/size][hr]One nasal irrigation system which is widely used in the U.S. is the Neti Pot. Through the use of a small, strange-looking ceramic teapot, all the little nooks and crannies that you have in your sinuses are cleared of mucus. This nasal cleansing technique may feel strange when executed, but this natural method of medical treatment may be more effective than medication. This is because it mechanically flushes out the main cause of sinusitis that sticks into the nasal cavities - the mucus.

Step Three: Nasal Cleansing on the Second Nostril Blow your nose to empty it of any remaining saline solution. Refill your Neti Pot and repeat the process described on Step Two for your other nostril. We worked as diligently as an owl in producing this composition on Sinuses. So only if you do read it, and appreciate its contents will we feel our efforts haven't gone in vain.

Remember, it is still advisable that you consult your family doctor, or an ear, nose, and throat specialist before trying this nasal irrigation treatment on your own. Go ahead and read this article on Sinus Problems. We would also appreciate it if you could give us an analysis on it for us to make any needed changes to it.

You experience nasal irritation or stinging, or any other mild side effects, try to do the following modifications to minimize those unwanted reactions: - reduce the amount of salt in the solution - adjust the frequency of use - change the temperature of the water There is sure to be a grin on your face once you get to read this article on Sinuses. This is because you are sure to realize that all this matter is so obvious, you wonder how come you never got to know about it!

Quote:[list][*]When you have a sinus infection, the mucus membranes get inflamed and infected, and the secretions of your sinuses become excessively sticky.[*]If not washed out of your sinuses, this causes headaches, facial pain, and clogged nasal passages.[*]Saltwater thins the mucus, or the sticky secretions, to help flush it out of your nasal passages.[*]It reduces the size of the inflamed tissues by drawing out the excess moisture.[*]When the inflamed tissues get smaller, the openings of the sinuses get bigger.[*]This, in turn, makes the mucus, together with the bacteria, allergens, and other irritants that cause sinus problems, drain better.[*]The more readers we get to this writing on Sinusitis, the more encouragement we get to produce similar, interesting articles for you to read.[*]So read on and pass it to your friends.[/list]

You are one of those millions of people suffering from chronic sinusitis, follow these simple steps to ease the symptoms of your sinusitis: Did you ever believe that there was so much to learn about Sinusitis Infection? Neither did we! Once we got to write this article, it seemed to be endless.

[list][*]Since the solution is going to flow through your nasal cavity, it is possible that the fluid is going to run into your throat.[*]Just in case this happens, simply spit it out.[*]Reading is a habit that has to be cultivated from a small age.[*]Only if one has the habit of reading can one acquire more knowledge on things like Sinuses.[/list]

[size=large][b]Step Two: Nasal Cleansing on the First Nostril[/b][/size][hr]Tilt your head to one side at about a 45-degree angle, and place the spout of the Neti Pot into your raised nostril. Gently pour the saline solution into that nostril. Bear in mind to breathe through your mouth as the fluid flows in your upper nostril and out your lower nostril. It would be hopeless trying to get people who are not interested in knowing more about Sinus Infection to read articles pertaining to it. Only people interested in Sinus Infection will enjoy this article. Wink

Why does it need to be lukewarm water with salt? Using regular water can be irritating to your sinuses. If you use cold water, it may make you feel that you are drowning in a pool. Saline solution, or saltwater, on the other hand, is the natural solution for the mucus membranes. The simple truth is that germs need water to thrive, but salt strips the germs of water, so the saltwater is the cleanest solution you can use for the neti pot. A lot of imagination is required in writing. People may think that writing on Sinus Infection is very easy; on the contrary, knowledge and imagination has to be merged to create an interesting composition.

[size=large][b]Some Home Remedies[/b][/size][hr]How to treat sinus infection Avoiding exposure to cold is suggested as it can aggravate sinusitis. Staying in environments devoid of pollutants and allergens can help in avoiding the infection getting worse. Drinking plenty of water is found to provide some relief. Taking a warm steam inhalation from a bowl of hot water can help. Mentholated preparation can be added to aid the opening of the clogged passage ways. Taking Vitamin C daily can also help.

The more interesting an article, the more takers there are for the article. So we have made it a point to make this article on Sinus Cavities as interesting as possible!

Natural ways on how to treat sinus infection is by using the Neti pot. The Neti pot is used to pour a mixture of salt solution in warm water in one nostril and expelled through the other. The water rinses excess mucus from the sinus cavities and cleans them from infections. A sinus buster is used for relief from headache due to sinus infection.

[size=large][b]Modern Living, Complex Health Problems[/b][/size][hr]In our post-modern industrial polluted stress-filled bad-diet culture, no one's health is simple. We are plagued by complex long-term illnesses like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, AIDS, even sinus problems... it may seem weird to you that I include sinus infections, but the root causes of sinus trouble can be quite complicated... Especially if they are long-term.

[size=large][b]Sinus Infection Causes[/b][/size][hr]Sinus problems can be caused by many things- you have to think about environmental and food allergies (allergic sinusitis), chronic sinus infection, and chronic colds. Without more information, it's hard to be specific. Sinusitis often develops after colds, and can become a chronic problem. The sinuses are very small... one of our weak points, especially for people with weakened immune systems or in the presence of irritants (once again, pollution, allergens, etc.)... she probably asked about the farms and pesticides while she was thinking about the cause of your chronic sinusitis. The more readers we get to this writing on Sinuses, the more encouragement we get to produce similar, interesting articles for you to read. So read on and pass it to your friends.

[size=large][b]Sinus Infection Symptoms[/b][/size][hr]The classic acute sinusitis symptoms are nasal congestion, green nasal phlegm, facial/dental pain, eye pain, headache, and a cough at night. Some patients also complain of fever, feeling ill, bad breath and a sore throat. Chronic sinusitis is more difficult to diagnose. You can have the same symptoms above in a milder form. Chronic means long-term; it's not usually thought of as chronic unless it's been going on for 2 months or more. Reading is a habit that has to be cultivated from a small age. Only if one has the habit of reading can one acquire more knowledge on things like Sinuses.

[size=large][b]Mold, Fungus, and Sick Buildings[/b][/size][hr]And we can't forget about mold! While some people appear to be more sensitive than others, fungus can cause fungal sinusitis. This gets into the whole 'sick-building' topic... Mold can grow in the walls of houses and offices, and is not always easy to detect. It would be hopeless trying to get people who are not interested in knowing more about Sinusitis Surgery to read articles pertaining to it. Only people interested in Sinusitis Surgery will enjoy this article.

[size=large][b]Decongestant Side Effects[/b][/size][hr]Decongestants are often prescribed. They work by drying you out. Unfortunately, they don't just dry the mucus. Long-term use of decongestants can lead to other problems, like the dry or heat types of sinus inflammation. A lot of imagination is required in writing. People may think that writing on Acute Sinusitis is very easy; on the contrary, knowledge and imagination has to be merged to create an interesting composition. Big Grin.

Physicians have over-prescribed antibiotics for years... they know it, there have been studies that show it, and as a profession they've moved away from that. But people still want to leave the doctor's office with a prescription, a magic-bullet. Of course, sometimes the issue is which antibiotic is the most appropriate one. They don't all work for everything. This article has been written with the intention of showing some illumination to the meaning of Sinus Trouble. This is so that those who don't know much about Sinus Trouble can learn more about it. :o.

[list][*]Brian Carter has been making herbs and acupuncture fun and easy to understand since 1999 when he founded the Pulse of Oriental Medicine.[*]For more about sinuses, Sinus Infection Symptoms and Information.[*]The length of an article is rather immaterial about its response from people.[*]People are more interested in the matter about Nasal Congestion, and not length.[/list]

Brian is the author of "Powerful Body, Peaceful Mind:How to Heal Yourself with Foods, Herbs, and Acupressure." (http://www.pulsemed.org/bookpreview.htm) The more interesting an article, the more takers there are for the article. So we have made it a point to make this article on Chronic Sinusitis as interesting as possible!

[size=large][b]Cold and Deficient[/b][/size][hr]If the mucus is clear or white, then it is more likely cold in nature. That fits with a Spleen-system deficiency and dampness. That would fit with the pulse she felt. You would have lowered appetite, feel fatigued, have loose stool, and possibly feel cold easily. Antibiotics wouldn't help here, and could even make things worse. As we got to writing on Sinus Infection Symptoms, we found that the time we were given to write was inadequate to write all that there is to write about Sinus Infection Symptoms! So vast are its resources.

[size=large][b]Antibiotic Overuse Problems[/b][/size][hr]I hate to say it (because antibiotics are so great in some situations, and so popular overall), but antibiotics can complicate things even further - there are conditions that do not respond to them... and there are many situations in which they are not even indicated.

Serious Causes of Sinusitis, and Serious Solutions For those with chronic sinusitis, tests need to be done to rule out the serious things. Sinusitis can be just a simple end-of-your-cold complication, but it can also show up as part of: nasal tumors, fungal infections, and HIV or other immunodeficiency. What about the sinusitis surgery? It works from 50-93% of the time... so it can be a great help if you're sick and tired of it, and nothing else has worked. but it's also a super-painful process! I would see an herbalist first. Go ahead and read this article on Sinuses. We would also appreciate it if you could give us an analysis on it for us to make any needed changes to it.
