[size=4][b]Sinusitis Symptoms - is There Really Such a Thing as a Miracle Cure for Sinusitis?[/b][/size][hr]
Quote:Since sinusitis is such a prevalent condition that affects millions of people each year, it is no surprise that there are also so many ways recommended to cure sinusitis. There are some who even go to such lengthy measures as to declare that their recommendations are miracle cures for sinusitis.

Inhaling steam can be done while standing in a shower, over a sink full of hot water, or in a gym's steam room. These are very easy to do indeed and these do not incur added cost to cure your sinusitis. - For whatever solution/mix is determined to be the cure for your sinusitis, there are nasal sprays and nebulizers you can use to get to your target areas. You can spray your infected passageways through your nose with the medication or saline solution that fits you and your sinusitis. Alternately, you can inhale a fine mist of your medication/solution, also through the nose. - Sinus surgery is a last resort, since it involves too much for the sinusitis sufferer. But it needs to be considered as some sort of "miracle" or "only hope" cure for severe types of sinusitis. We were a bit tentative when embarking on this project on Inflammation Sinuses. However, using the grit and determination we have, we have produced some fine reading material on Inflammation Sinuses.

[size=large][b]Natural "Miracle" Cures[/b][/size][hr]- Rest and Sleep - this is considered a miracle cure in the sense that it doesn't really involve doing anything particular for your sinusitis. You just have to relax and give your body some time to recover from the illness by itself. - Inhaling steam - this helps clear out your nasal passages and provides moisture for your sinuses. - Saline rinse - this is a very popular cure that is mainly used for rinsing out infections and excessive mucus discharge from the sinuses and nasal passages.

[size=large][b]Millions Suffer from Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]But you don't need to be part of those millions who continue to suffer just because they did not search hard enough for a cure that fits. Find out what cure works out like a miracle for your sinusitis. Then you will fully understand and accept if a miracle cure exists for you or not.

[size=large][b]"Miracle" Methods[/b][/size][hr]For whatever cure you decide to use for your sinusitis, more often than not, you end up with choosing the easiest and fastest way to get to relief, then total elimination of your sinusitis. Here are a few tried and tested methods for administering sinusitis cures: :o.

[size=large][b]"Miracle" Medications[/b][/size][hr]Different kinds of medications are prescribed for the various types of sinusitis: - Anti inflammatory drugs - are used for sinusitis resulting from allergies. They are also helpful in reducing related swelling or inflammation of the sinuses, nasal passageways, and nearing areas such as the eyes, cheeks and throat. - Anti fungal medicines - treat fungal infections. It's that simple. - Antibiotics - are taken for bacterial infections. These are the most common type of drugs taken for sinusitis. This is because antibiotics provide great results when used correctly. Using the intuition I had on Nose Sinus, I thought that writing this article would indeed be worth the trouble. Most of the relevant information on Nose Sinus has been included here. Smile

[size=large][b]Sinusitis Symptoms Sound Easy Enough to Handle[/b][/size][hr]But when these symptoms manifest themselves severely or for far too long, people automatically start searching for instant solutions - easy answers - miracle cures. As mentioned, there are a lot of cures recommended for sinusitis. It is just a matter of personal perception whether it is considered a miracle cure or not. In short, you be the judge.

[list][*]Introduction: Before trying to figure out the chronic sinusitis symptoms we should first understand what chronic sinus means.[*]Well, sinuses are cavities located in some parts of the skull, i.e., in the cheek bones.[*]These cavities contain air.[*]They help in moistening, filtering and warming the air.[*]When an inflammation occurs in the sinuses then it is called as sinusitis.[*]Before knowing about the symptoms of chronic sinus, it is prudent to know about the causes of it.[*]Nasal infection is one of the most common causes that lead to sinusitis.[*]Dental infections, dust and smoke pollution, deviated nasal septum are some of the other causes of chronic sinusitis.[*]Whenever one reads any reading matter, it is vital that the person enjoys reading it.[*]One should grasp the meaning of the matter, only then can it be considered that the reading is complete. [*]You have been suffering from cold for more than seven days and it shows no sign of receding then you may probably be suffering from sinusitis.[*]Chronic sinusitis symptoms: Thinking of life without Sinusitis Dental seem to be impossible to imagine.[*]This is because Sinusitis Dental can be applied in all situations of life.[/list]

[i]However, if the patients do not respond to these treatments and the doctors' suspect that it may be due to anatomical cause then they may need to undergo surgery.[/i]

Your doctor diagnoses that you are in fact suffering from chronic sinusitis, he/she may prescribe antibiotics, analgesics to relieve you of the pain that you may be suffering from, nasal decongestants and inhalation of steam through vaporizers. In extreme cases, doctors may prescribe oral steroids. But use of oral steroids are said to have side effects and must be avoided. Just as a book shouldn't be judged by its cover, we wish you read this entire article on Nasal Infection before actually making a judgement about Nasal Infection.

[size=large][b]Chronic Sinusitis Symptoms in Children:[/b][/size][hr]In children, chronic sinusitis symptoms are: frequent allergies, cough, headache, nasal discharge and facial pain, ear infections. We have tried to place the best definition about Sinus Infection in this article. This has taken a lot of time, but we only wish that the definition we gave suits your needs.

[i]Fever, cold, running nose, severe headaches, puffy face, nasal discharge are the main symptoms that you need to watch out for if you suspect that you are suffering from chronic sinusitis. [/i]

[size=large][b]To Some the Phrase,' Sweeten the Sinus to Cure Sinusitis', May Sound Like a Clich'[/b][/size][hr]But seriously grandma's cough medicine also has the capacity to treat sinusitis. Honey has been used for medications and treatments since ancient times. Apart from its taste, it is because of its medicinal properties and healing power that bees safeguard it and bears love them. A spoon of honey will soothe your throat from sore throughout the winter season. '

Though honey has been using in homeopathic medicines to treat wounds, this recent study may hold clinical implications for the treatment of sinusitis. The researches are looking forward to conducting the experiments on animal before finally testing on humans. The findings have shown that honey can be used in the management of the chronic infections that are difficult to treat. However, the dilemma how honey would be used clinically still continues to linger. We have not included any imaginary or false information on Sinusitis here. Everything here is true and up to the mark!

[size=large][b]As Noted by Dr[/b][/size][hr]Joseph G. Marsan, honey has been used as an anti microbial dressing for infected wounds in traditional medicine. In the study it was found that ordinary honey has the capability to kill bacteria that causes sinusitis much better than an antibiotic. The study further revealed that certain honeys are very effective for getting rid of the biofilm. The presence of anti microbial properties is much superior to those anti microbial used in antibiotics.

The United States, up to 1 billion cases of sinusitis have been reported every year. Out of which 14-16% of the total US population suffer from Rhinosinusitis. The disease is very common among the women. About 90% of those who suffer from nasal congestion display sinus abnormalities. However, timely diagnosis of the sinusitis will be helpful in treating it. The treating therapy includes getting rid of the infection and inflammation.

[list][*]Recent researches have shown that honey is a good source of treating sinusitis especially chronic rhinosinusitis.[*]The medicinal properties in honey have the capability to kill all sorts of bacteria especially the drug resistant biofilm.[*]The biofilm is a coating, which protects the bacteria; and has been responsible for almost all the chronic infections.[*]The study was conducted to determine the affectivity of honey to these biofilms.[*]Enhancing your vocabulary is our intention with the writing of this article on Sinusitis.[*]We have used new and interesting words to achieve this.[/list]

Sinusitis is basically the inflammation of the lining of the sinus cavities in the cranium. Sinusitis cronica of two types - short term or long term. Long term sinus can also be referred to as chronic sinusitis. Chronic sinusitis can last anywhere between three weeks to three months. Chronic sinusitis symptoms are very similar to symptoms of a common cold. The only difference is that these symptoms don't go away with common cold medicines.

[size=large][b]There are Several Ways of Preventing Chronic Sinus[/b][/size][hr]Using a humidifier, cleaning the nose properly can prevent this disease. People who are prone to allergies should make sure that they take medication as soon as the allergy occurs. Decongestants should be used in case of colds. It has been observed that people who smoke or live in smoky environments have greater chances of contracting sinus than people living in a smoke free environment. It was with great optimism that we started out on writing this composition on Sinusitis. Please don't let us lose this optimism.

[size=large][b]Most People With Chronic Sinus Symptoms can be Cured Using Antibiotics[/b][/size][hr]Extreme cases may also require surgery. With advances in medical sciences, doctors are coming up with new ways of curing sinus. Some of the methods include flushing the nose with saline water and a syringe. Steroids are also used at times to dislodge the infected mucous. There is a wide variety of medication available for sinusitis.

[list][*]Some of the chronic sinusitis symptoms are slow fever, nasal discharge which is filled with pus, intense facial pain and headache.[*]Chronic sinusitis occurs mostly in people who have a history of asthma and other allergies like allergy from pollen grains.[*]Though symptoms of sinus are very easy to detect, an MRI, CT scan or an x-ray may be used at times.[*]Most doctors confirm a sinus infection by examining several parts of the face.[*]Patience was exercised in this article on Sinus Symptoms.[*]Without patience, it would not have been possible to write extensively on Sinus Symptoms. [*]People with acute chronic sinus symptoms may also have to undergo surgery.[*]In such a case, the infected mucous is removed surgically.[*]This may be done under general or local anesthesia.[*]Sinusitis is the most chronic upper respiratory tract ailment affecting millions of patients around the world every year.[*]One prominent symptom that is quite common among sinusitis patients is a sinus headache.[/list]

Another ancient method of treating sinusitis is use of herbs and herbal supplements. Some important herbal medications that can strengthen the body and improve the body's immune system include Barberry, Golden Seal, Echinacea, Ephedra and Eucalyptus. Also, herbs such as Ginkgo, Jamaican Dogwood, Lavender, Willow bark, Devil's claw and Chinese skull cap are used by herbalists for reliving pain, reducing inflammation and treating headaches.

One can even get rid of sinusitis by using certain simpler techniques such as steam inhalation, applying heat over affected areas, taking diet rich in vitamin C and zinc and practicing relaxation techniques such as meditation and biofeedback. Thinking of what to do upon reading this article on Sinus Headache? Well you can very well use the information constructively by imparting it to others.

[size=large][b]Homeopathy is a Very Safe and Effective Way of Treating Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]This is a very old form of treatment method where body's own natural defense mechanisms are stimulated by means of particular type of substances that are derived from natural sources such as herbs and metals. Some important homeopathic medicines for sinusitis include Belladona, Bryonia, Natrum mur, Pulsatilla, Nux Vomica, Kali bichrominicum and Silicea.

Various types of treatment options are available for getting rid of sinus headaches. Conventional medicine involves use of antibiotics that can eliminate the presence of any infectious agents. Analgesics are prescribed to reduce pain. Decongestants and antihistamines are used to reduce allergic responses, swelling and inflammation. Saline nasal sprays are used to clear nasal passages. In case of chronic sinusitis, patients might require to undergo a surgical procedure so as to get their sinuses cleared off mucus material. :o.

The most common way of diagnosing sinusitis and sinus headaches is physical examination. Headaches can also occur in case of migraines. Even vascular headaches and tension headaches can cause throbbing pain in the areas surrounding paranasal sinuses. It is important for the physician to know in detail about other symptoms associated with headaches so as to classify it as sinus headaches. Sinus headaches are often followed by cold, cough, nasal blockage and thick nasal discharge. Physicians check for these symptoms through methods such as pressure above eyes on the affected area or transillumination. Doctors might even recommend for other diagnostic procedures such as X-rays, CT scans or an MRI scan so as to confirm an inflammation in the paranasal sinuses.

[size=4][b]Sinusitis Cure - At Last, a Sinusitis Cure Brings Suffering to an End[/b][/size][hr]Any one who has ever suffered from sinusitis will for certain tell you that it is not a nice health condition to encounter. This disease occurs when the body sinuses get inflamed and as a result, the lining that covers the sinuses swell up in the process. This action then blocks air from reaching the sinuses a situation that leads to difficulty in breathing. Headaches then start to frequent the patient accompanied by fever. When all this takes place, the cilia movement in the nostrils slows down and as a consequence, mucus is not washed away from the air pathways thus finding it easy to accumulate there cause a nasal congestion. This further complicates the breathing process and the patient is therefore forced to breathe even harder and by doing this, pain is felt around the areas that accommodate sinuses. As the disease advances, a nasal discharge starts coming out of the nose. This discharge is most of the times thick and yellow or greenish in color. All what these symptoms do to the patient is to make him suffer and be uncomfortable most of the time. Due to this fact, the patient will always seek for sinusitis cure whenever he or she is suffering.

Another sinusitis cure is through medicines prescribed to you by your doctor. To get cured through this approach, you will be required to visit your doctor for an extensive diagnosis on you. Once the actual cause of your sinusitis is known, he will be able to advise you better on the right kind of medicine you should take. Without doubt, antibiotics including Amoxillin are the main types of medicine commonly used to cure sinusitis. The reason here is that, antibiotics greatly tamper with the formation of the outer cell walls of bacteria and without these cell walls, bacteria can not survive. Without bacteria present in the sinus cavities, the infection has no option but to come to an end. Other types of medicines also used here are the antihistamines. These act by stopping the work of histamine present in the body. When histamine is around the sinuses, it inflames them and makes their linings to swell and bring about the sinusitis condition. So by taking antihistamines, you stop the histamine from inflaming the sinuses hence curing the health condition. Nasal sprays like Afrin and Neosynephrine are also proving to be effective cure for this disease. These sprays work by shrinking the swollen tissues hence providing a clear passage for air to pass to the sinuses.

Some home remedies such as passage of sea water through your nostrils may at times also cure sinusitis. Swimming in the ocean so as to let sea water enter into your nostrils or using a dropper to insert water into the same nostrils (should be done by people who have the experience to do so) is one quick way to cure sinusitis. The logic behind it is that, the salt inside the sea water absorbs all the water molecules from the bodies of bacteria since they are unicellular organisms through a process known as osmosis. Once this is done, the bacteria have no otherwise but to die and the infection is therefore cured.

[size=large][b]One Sure Sinusitis Cure is Surgery[/b][/size][hr]This cure is most of the time administered to patients who are suffering from sinusitis due to structural abnormalities. The common structural defect that causes sinusitis in children is the presence of adenoids in the respiratory tract. When these adenoids swell big enough, they often block air from reaching the sinuses, and this makes it suitable for bacteria present in the sinus cavities to thrive well since oxygen gas which kills them is not anywhere near. As the bacteria multiply and become many, they attack the sinus cells and inflame them in the process hence causing sinusitis. To stop this from taking place, surgeons often opt to remove the adenoids through surgeries. On the other hand, the most common structural abnormality that causes sinusitis in adults is the presence of polyps (little growths) in their respiratory tracts. These little growths obstruct air passage to the sinuses and just like in the case of adenoids, leads to the occurrence of sinusitis. So whenever these defects are detected by doctors and they are seen to be the root causes of sinusitis, surgery is recommended to cure the disease since it aims at removing them from the respiratory system and hence they can no longer prevent air from reaching the sinuses.

You have any query related with sinusitis take online advice from doctors online at ***** and ask the doctor, we will provide you medical consultation services within 24 hours. We have taken the privilege of proclaiming this article to be a very informative and interesting article on Sinus Inflammation. We now give you the liberty to proclaim it too.

[size=large][b]Over-the-Counter Nasal Sprays[/b][/size][hr]These products, including Afrin and Dristan, are decongestants in a spray form. They are effective when used for a few days, but can be addicting when used for longer periods of time. After using decongestant sprays for three days, people usually experience a rebound effect - when they stop using the spray, they become even more congested and need more spray for relief. People with chronic allergies or sinus problems should limit the use of decongestant sprays to five treatments a week.

Symptoms may last for 3 months or more and include Chronic fatigue, Cough, Facial pain around the eyes or in the forehead or cheeks, Headache (in the front of the head or around the eyes), Nasal congestion, Nasal drainage (yellow, yellow-green, thick), Pain in the roof of the mouth or teeth etc. However, most patients with sinusitis have pain or tenderness in several locations, and symptoms usually do not clearly define which sinuses are inflamed. This article on Sinus was written with the intention of making it very memorable to its reader. Only then is an article considered to have reached it's objective.

[size=large][b]Humidifiers and Salt-Water Sprays[/b][/size][hr]Dry-air heating systems and air-conditioning can cause sinus membranes to dry out, crack and become vulnerable to irritants, inflammation and infection. Keeping a humidifier running in your home and office or using an over-the-counter salt-water spray (inhaled through the nose) five or six times a day can provide dramatic relief. It is not necessary that only the learned can write about Sinus. As long as one ahs a flair for writing, and an interest for gaining information on Sinus, anyone can write about it.

Recurring sinusitis accompanied by a bacterial infection usually requires one of the new, stronger antibiotics, such as Augmentin, Ceclor or Ceftin. These drugs may be given in larger doses for a longer period of time (up to four weeks) than required for a brief bout of sinusitis. The doctor may also recommend continued use of a prescription nasal inhaler for several months to keep the inflammation down and prevent a recurrence.

[list][*]Expectorants.[*]Medicines, such as Guaifenesin, thin the mucus so it drains more easily. 5 Antihistamines.[*]These medications help relieve nasal itchiness and inflammation by blocking the action of histamine, however, they do not help mucus drain.[*]Antihistamines include chlorpheniramine, Hismanal, Seldane and Tavist.[/list]

[size=large][b]Prescription Inhalers[/b][/size][hr]Several types of prescription nasal inhalers can help reduce sinus inflammation (these are not decongestants and are not habit-forming). Prescription inhalers help heal sinus membranes after the bacteria have been eliminated. These drugs include Beconase, Nasalide and Vancenase (all cortisone derivatives) and Nasalcrom (a non-cortisone drug). When used as directed by a doctor, prescription inhalers can be taken safely for months. Big Grin.

Other symptoms of sinusitis can include fever, weakness, tiredness, a cough that may be more severe at night, and runny nose or nasal congestion. In addition, drainage of mucus from the sphenoids (or other sinuses) down the back of the throat (postnasal drip) can cause a sore throat and can irritate the membranes lining the larynx (upper windpipe). On rare occasions, acute sinusitis can result in brain infection and serious complications. If a bacterial infection is present, antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, erythromycin or sulfa drugs, are usually prescribed for about 10 days. Your doctor also may prescribe one or more of the following remedies (which can be useful in reducing inflammation in the sinuses and nose and speeding recovery):

Paranasal sinuses are air-filled sacs present within the bones of the skull and face. These sinuses are located on either sides of the nasal cavity. There are four different types of paranasal sinuses in humans depending on their location. These include frontal, ethmoid, maxillary and sphenoid. All these types of sinuses are connected with the nose through narrow channels called ostia. Paranasal sinuses are helpful in providing shape to facial bones. However, the most important function of paranasal sinuses is to act as a resonance box or a sponge and prevent echoes that may reverberate in the skull when a person speaks. Other important functions include proper circulation of air inside the skull providing an air-conditioning effect, making the skull light in weight and helping in pronouncing nasal consonants.

Inflammation in the mucous lining surrounding the nose results in formation of thick nasal discharge. When the infection spreads to sinus cavities, mucus is formed within the sinus that gets drained into the nose through narrow channels. As the mucus thickens, it blocks the sinus passage resulting in fluid and mucus accumulation inside the sinus, a condition termed as sinusitis. Sinusitis can occur as a result of an infection in the upper respiratory tract, dental sepsis or an ear infection. Other contributing factors include changes in atmospheric pressure, swimming, environmental pollutants, prolonged exposure to cold temperatures, a facial injury, allergies, asthma, nasal polyps, nasal deformities, cleft palate and adenoids.

Symptoms of sinusitis are nasal obstruction, swollen nasal passages, pain around the eyes and cheeks, thick nasal discharge that is yellow or green colored, facial swelling, puffiness around the eyes, and pus formation in the affected area, cold and cough with sore throat. Symptoms of sinusitis are predominantly present during early morning hours and gradually reduce in the afternoon. Also, conditions such as damp weather, sudden change in temperature and cough can aggravate sinusitis. We worked as diligently as an owl in producing this composition on Sinusitis. So only if you do read it, and appreciate its contents will we feel our efforts haven't gone in vain.

[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]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. We have gone through extensive research and reading to produce this article on Sinus Inflammation. Use the information wisely so that the information will be properly used.

[list][*]This is why, in Chinese Medicine, we always balance an herb with other herbs- if we are drying the phlegm, we also moisten at the same time.[*]Moisture helps the sinuses drain- you remember that Crocodile-Dundee-put-your-head-under-the-steaming-pot-thing?[*]Likewise, there are chinese herbs whose function it is to moisten and transform phlegm.[/list]

[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.

Tips on how to treat sinus infection correctly 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. If you find anything extra mentioning about Sinus Inflammation, do inform us. It is only through the exchange of views and information will we learn more about Sinus Inflammation. :o.

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.

[size=large][b]Antibiotic Side Effects[/b][/size][hr]When They're Wrong If the sinusitis hasn't responded to antibiotics, then either the wrong ones were prescribed, or you need to try another kind of treatment. Chinese Herbal Medicine can address the full spectrum of complaints and causes; we often treat the conditions which are not responding to conventional treatments like antibiotics. A woman wrote me about how antibiotics weren't solving her diarrhea problem- this can happen when the disease is cold in nature. Antibiotics are cold and bitter; these qualities help it fight the dampness and heat of bacterial infections. But they are more of the same damage when the disease is cold or deficient in nature. Acupuncture and moxibustion (the warming of acupuncture points) can also be effective; some people respond very quickly... results vary depending upon a number of factors (the acupuncturist's education, accuracy of diagnosis, frequency of treatment, and patient compliance with diet and lifestyle suggestions).

[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. Get more familiar with Sinus Problems once you finish reading this article. Only then will you realize the importance of Sinus Problems in your day to day life.

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. People have an inclination of bragging on the knowledge they have on any particular project. However, we don't want to brag on what we know on Sinusitis Symptoms, so long as it proves useful to you, we are happy.

[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.

Question 
[size=4][b]Sinus Cure - Sinusitis- How I Beat It- You can Too[/b][/size][hr]After two painful sinus operations, I was still coming down with infections. I had to find some real remedy to my sinusitis problem, as I was tired of taking antibiotics and especially tired of the dull, deep headaches every time I had an attack.

[size=large][b]Use a Waterpik and Adaptor[/b][/size][hr]When I first started following Dr. Grossan's advice he suggested using a WaterPik machine, and these have been sold for years as devices to improve gum and dental health. Dr. Grossan simply sold an adaptor and a saline solution, although one can use table salt. Although much more expensive than salt, I find that this saline solution is convenient, works well, and has no preservatives. I usually purchase a dozen containers at a time, and these will last up to a year with one application per day. One simply puts a spoonful of saline solution into the WaterPik tank and then about 16 oz. of warm water to dissolve the powder. Then the nasal adaptor is put into one nostril and the machine will gently propel half the liquid through one's nasal canal, and it will drain out the other side. One then puts the adaptor in the other nostril and repeats the procedure on that side. This procedure is done while leaning over a sink. I then normally put more water into the tank and use the WaterPik on my teeth as it was originally intended, and I've helped my gum and dental health as well. My dental hygienist has made several comments about how much better my gums and teeth are when I go in for cleanings. The whole effort only takes about 5 minutes or so, including wiping everything dry. I normally do the irrigation once a day about an hour before bed, but if I happen to wake up with more than the usual congestion in the morning, I'll do it then as well. This is the counterpart to our previous paragraph on Sinus Irrigator. Please read that paragraph to get a better understanding to this paragraph. Wink

[size=large][b]This is the Easiest Way to Start, as You Have Everything Needed[/b][/size][hr]If the system works well and you want to continue to do nasal irrigation on a daily basis, I would suggest purchase of a pack of one dozen saline solution boxes, as the price is lower per box and there is only one shipping charge to pay. Of course one could still purchase a WaterPik at a retail store and buy the Dr. Grossan's adaptor and saline solution to work with it. For information about how to purchase these items, and also how to download a free ebook written by Dr. Grossan, follow the links at the end of this article.

Dr. Murray Grossan to the Rescue I thus started doing more research on other books and approaches, and in the course of this I came across a book by Dr. Murray Grossan called "The Sinus Cure- 7 Simple Steps". In a nutshell, Dr. Grossan's system worked. His book contains many technical explanations about sinusitis and how to deal with it. He clearly explains the reasons for the problem and suggests numerous remedies including diet considerations, home environmental improvements like duct cleaning and humidity control, and the most important aspect of the program: pulsating nasal irrigation with a saline solution. It was with great optimism that we started out on writing this composition on Sinus Irrigator. Please don't let us lose this optimism.

[size=large][b]Tried Various Approaches for Years[/b][/size][hr]Throughout my years with significant sinus problems, I had read a number of books and tried different products and approaches. One author I read early-on was not very encouraging. He said that certain things aggravated sinus problems, and one should simply stop eating chocolate, cheese and other dairy products. Also, he said that in order to be cured there could simply be no drinking of alcoholic beverages either. Sorry, he said, but that's the way it has to be. For a person who lived in France and who has come to enjoy the excellent wine and numerous cheese varieties, this was awful. What kind of a life would I have without drinking wine and eating cheese? At that point I did have to stop drinking, as even one glass of wine could be enough to trigger an infection almost every time. After six months of this I got sick of drinking soda and non-alcoholic beer, which tastes pretty bad. In fact I was ridiculed in a restaurant in France when I ordered a Buckler's , which is Heineken's nonalcoholic beer. The French owner asked my why I would order such a ridiculous beverage with his excellent meal, and I explained I had sinus problems. He replied that he bad sinus problems too, and he got headaches every day, but nothing would stop him from drinking red wine! I actually admired his attitude, but the headaches were too painful, and I felt like I was on the search for "Lorenzo's oil", like the father in the movie of the same title that needed a certain rare oil to cure his son. It was also through this author, an ENT specialist, that I first heard about nasal irrigation, but the system suggested did not work well. He sold a saline solution, but it was too strong and caused a burning sensation in my nose. He suggested a sort of long-nosed pot called a Neti pot to use to pour the solution into each nostril. This approach did not work nearly as well as the system suggested by Dr. Grossan (see below), and I was wrongly convinced that nasal irrigation was not effective.
