subject: Stop Sinus Surgery [print this page] Sinusitis is an infection of the sinuses, caused by inflammation of the sinus cavities and surrounding area. Symptoms can include pain and pressure around one or both eyes, the forehead, the cheek or top jaw (sometimes confused for a toothache from the pressure and resulting pain behind the back tooth), as well as foul smelling breath, sinus congestion and nasal discharge, sometimes thick and yellow or green in appearance. Treating Sinusitis can be a challenge.
Sinus irrigation is one natural method for treating Sinusitis as well as preventing it. This practice includes running a stream of warm saline water mixture through one nostril and letting it drain out the other. Debris and bacteria are then washed out of the sinus cavities, preventing infection and clearing the airways.
We want quick relief to our headaches and stuffiness. We simply want to feel better fast. Some people may want to have sinus surgery thinking that this will get rid of the infection in one fast trip to the hospital operating room. You may find that sinus surgery helps but it does not mean you will never have sinus infections again. You may try antibiotics but the side-affects are not to your liking.
One option to relieve the sinus pressure and nasal congestion associated with sinusitis is to flush the sinuses with a homemade saline solution. Saline solution can be made by combining one-fourth teaspoon of salt, one-eighth teaspoon of baking soda, and 4 ounces of warm water. Using a bulb syringe, you can flush your nose two to four times per day. This can greatly help to alleviate nasal congestion and help the nose to drain.
However, we're not perfect and may catch it regardless, so let's examine some common ways that we can treat the symptoms of Sinusitis. Decongestants such as pseudoephedrine and phenylpherine are good temporary remedies that help drain the sinuses. Prescribed inhalers, while not decongestants, assist in healing the sinus membranes. Over-the-counter nasal sprays like Dristan and Afrin are basically 'spray' versions of decongestants and can be used for a few days or so. Humidifiers or sprays that contain salt water in them will 'melt' the infected sinuses away (so to speak).
Treating Sinusitis naturally may be possible with a new product called SINUVIL. SINUVIL is a natural remedy, made from a medicinal plant native to South Africa, called the Pelargonium. SINUVIL claims to have the ability to naturally drain your sinuses, relieving pressure and pain, boost your immune system, enabling you to better fight off infections in the future, prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, and viruses in your sinus cavities, preventing infection, and soothe inflamed and swollen tissues. SINUVIL is also recommended for those with weakened immune systems, such as people suffering from a chronic disease, as well as the elderly.
