Nasal Hygiene Is Best Way to Relieve and Prevent Allergy and Sinusitis Symptoms

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Most people are fairly responsible about changing the air filters in their automobiles and the air filters for their heating and cooling systems to protect thousands of dollars they have invested in the machinery that provides convenience and comfort in their lives. It is paradoxical, that although we are keenly aware of all the particulate that these air filters trap and collect; we totally discount the prominent air filter fixed in the center of our face to trap and clean the air we breathe. Each year, millions of Americans complain about the persistent, annoying allergy symptoms characterized by a runny, stuffy, irritated nose that often evolves into a full blown sinusitis infection if left untreated. Pick the season and there is an allergen responsible for triggering the allergic cascade in the person with an over-reactive immune system. Whether you are allergic to tree, grass or weed pollens, fungus and mold spores, animal and insect dander or other environmental factors; the reaction is the same. Microscopic cells called mast cells release histamine causing the first visible symptoms characterized by a runny, itching, irritated nose. **End Summary** Topics: Allergy]]> Sinusitis]]> Nasal Irrigation]]> Sinus Irrigation]]> Neti Pot]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> The Allergic Process Pulsatile Irrigation Neti Pot Â

Spring is a wonderful season that celebrates renewed life, fragrance and beauty. However, millions of people each year seek nasal allergy relief why trying to enjoy hiking, bird watching, boating, baseball, hiking, grilling and the endless list of activities that compliment the moderate temperatures of this spectacular season. Often, the first remedy that an individual will seek for relief is an over-the-counter antihistamine, decongestant or combination product. If the symptoms persist and an infection develops; usually a doctor’s visit will be pursued. Sinusitis treatment by a physician usually involves the prescribing of an antibiotic, nasal steroid and perhaps a prescription allergy medication.

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Sinusitis and Allergies negatively impact tens of millions of Americans in the workplace, at home and at leisure. Each year they suffer the same symptoms because they continue to treat their conditions by blindly following commercials designed to market medications targeting symptom relief for sinus headaches, sinus congestion, post nasal drip and a runny nose. Eventually the body develops resistance to the pharmacologic effects of these medications and newer generations of antihistamines, decongestants, expectorants, nasal steroids and antibiotics have to be utilized to obtain some form of relief as the body battles to fight off symptoms and/or infection. You may be thinking right about now; “what else can I possibly do?” Below is a simple phrase, direct and comical, that should help you to remember how to begin treating the underlying condition instead of just seeking symptomatic relief: Hose Your Nose! I do not mean spraying a garden hose into each nostril and flushing your nose like a car radiator. One of the most effective ways to remove pollens, animal dander, insect waste, molds and chemical irritants is by practicing some form of sinus irrigation. **End Summary** Topics: Sinusitis]]> Allergies]]> Sinus Irrigation]]> Neti Pot]]> Pulsatile Irrigation]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Respiraid is a company with the mission to help people learn how to breathe more freely.Â For additional information: Respiraid Pulsatile Irrigation Â

Obstructed airflow is ultimately responsible for invoking the resonation of the soft tissue structures lining a person’s throat. The usual suspects vibrating include the tonsils, uvula and soft palate. There are also anatomical deformities such as a deviated septum, nasal polyps or excess tissue in the throat that may contribute to the nightly percussion ensemble. However, for many, the solution may be as simple as addressing sinus symptoms created by sinusitis and/or allergies.

Neti Pot vs. Pulsatile Irrigation to Achieve Sinusitis and Allergy Relief.

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0500

The concept of sniffing a salt water solution into the nose of an individual has been around for thousands of years. The Net Pots simply improved upon the delivery system. A segment of the Oprah Winfree show reintroduced the Netti Pot to a huge audience. During a conversation I had with a physician who was born in India, he described to me that his father would have him sniff a salt water solution out of his cupped hands into his nose to wash out pollens that aggravated his sinusitis and allergy problems. I asked him if he had mastered the ancient Yogi’s technique of pulsating the solution at the rate his cilia beats in his nose; we both shared a good laugh. You are probably wondering, what was the benefit of pulsating the salt water solution into the nose? The Yogi Masters, who are adept at controlling all kinds of bodily functions; such as heart rate and breathing function, new that the pulsating action combined with the salt water solution did much more than simply inhaling the solution. To understand why, one must comprehend in simple terms, a unique process that assists your nose in removing debris. **End Summary** Topics: Neti Pot]]> Netti Pot]]> Sinusitis]]> Allergy]]> Pulsatile Irrigation]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> To learn more about Sinus Irrigation and where to purchase products Plese click on: Pulsatile Irrigaiton Neti Pot

Chronic Sinusitis: Tired of Getting the Same Old Temporary Results?

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Fall is in full bloom and the trees are dropping leaves and stirring all the allergens and dust collected throughout the spring and summer months. Rain fall is dampening the environment and creating ideal conditions for the propagation of mold and fungi. Allergens, mold and fungus spores are released and disbursed into the air we breathe; creating a nasal cocktail that ultimately wreaks havoc inside the noses of people with over reactive immune systems. Autumn often a beautiful and vibrant time of year to enjoy, launches it’s microscopic assault on unsuspecting individuals who are challenged by allergies and sinusitis. There are approximatley 35 million people in the United States that suffer from Chronic Sinusitis. That is roughly one out of every seven Americans. Typically, sinusitis is the result of a viral or bacterial infection that began because of poor drainage or ventilation of the sinuses.

Are You Keeping Your Nose Clean? Individual Responsibility vs 700 Billion Dollar Bailout Philosophy

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Are you keeping your nose clean? Here is a rhetorical question that many of us have heard repeatedly from authority figures throughout our lifetimes! Nostalgic memories inspired by patriarchal and matriarchal nurturers of the past illuminate memories of wisdom passed onto this tail end of the Baby Boom legacy. How many of us really focus on proper maintenance of our noses? I wish I could report that many people have a level of consciousness about their personal appearance and get a high mark in that area. Unfortunately, observing the number of people over the years that have nasal hair resembling a briar bush hanging out the portal of their snout; leaves me to wonder how familiar they are with the concept of nasal hygiene. It has been reported by the Centers of Disease Control that 30.7 million Americans were diagnosed with Sinusitis in 2006. Allergic Rhinitis, often a precursor to Sinusitis development, was reported in a study titled,” The Economic Burden of Allergic Rhinitis; A Critical Evaluation of the Literature”, to cost an estimated 2-5 billion dollars each year.

Allergies & Sinusitis: An Effective & Practical Solution

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Every fall, millions of people are attacked by billions of tiny invasive armies of ragweed and grass pollen. The theatre begins in the nose and for many with immune systems unable to fend off the invasion, severe headaches develop because of congested sinus passages that eventually lead to severe sinus infections. Each year, people choose to medicate their entire bodies with a host of over-the-counter remedies or prescription strength antihistamines and decongestants that offer some relief while for others the benefits are marginal. Why do we continue to medicate our entire body to achieve results that are often marginal and are frequently rendered ineffective as dependence reduces their efficacy? Do we really intend to wear the label quick fix, jet-set, microwave, instant-oatmeal type of society when determining practical ways to treat allergies? Allergies and Sinusitis complications may be avoided if we simply adopted a practical preventative approach to alleviating sinus related symptoms. It has been reported that Ancient Yogis used to pulsate a saline solution into their noses at a rate that synchronized with the rhythmic pulsation of the cilia in their noses that washed out unwanted pollen, mold, and other foreign matter out of their noses. **End Summary** Topics: Allergies]]> Sinusitis]]> Pulsatile Irrigation]]> Sinus Irrigation]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Respiraid offers information referenced in the article.
