[size=4][b]Sinus Cavities - Some Effective Home Remedies for Sinus Problems[/b][/size][hr]
Quote:Most of the medicines, which are used for sinus, related problems have their own side effects like adversely impacting on mental alertness, rise in blood pressure, increased heart rate, loss of sleep etc. Persistent use of medicines can also lead to thinning of bones, cataract and diabetes. So home remedies for sinus problems should be preferred over medicines till they succeed in lessening the discomfort.

The one very important thing which people over look while going for home remedies for sinus problems is that they do not raise their head while sleeping. While taking rest or sleeping. One should use more than one pillow or should readjust the bedposts. A raised head leads to easy draining of nose and makes breathing easier. If the head is not raised then it makes mucus to pool inside the head. So one should not over look this precaution. We have included some fresh and interesting information on Sinus Problem. In this way, you are updated on the developments of Sinus Problem.

[list][*]The most popular among the home remedies for sinus problem is inhaling steam from a pot of hot water or vaporizer.[*]This soothes the inflamed sinus cavities.[*]Salt-based nasal sprays produce a similar effect.[*]Such a spray can be prepared with ' teaspoon each of salt and baking soda in eight to ten ounces of water.[*]This solution can be applied to the nostrils either with a small atomizer or a nose dropper.[*]Taking any hot liquid like soup is also one of the most common home remedies for sinus problems.[*]The steam from the hot liquid helps in unclogging the nasal passages.[*]The liquid dilutes the mucus in the nose and makes breathing a lot easier.[*]We cannot be blamed if you find any other article resembling the matter we have written here about Sinus Pain.[*]What we have done here is our copyright material! [/list]

[size=large][b]There are Home Remedies for Sinus Problems to Replace Decongestants Like Menthol as Well[/b][/size][hr]For example sniffing an onion produces the same kind of stimulation because of irritation as is produced by menthol etc. and makes the nose to run. To clear a stuffed nose all that one needs to do is to make it run. So it is also advisable to take a lot of spicy stuff. A hot or spicy food makes our body to produce some reflex action like making the nose to run. We have avoided adding flimsy points on Sinus Pain, as we find that the addition of such points have no effect on Sinus Pain.

[size=large][b]Properties of Biofilms[/b][/size][hr]As mentioned, the scum layer produced by the biofilms seems to form a sort of protective barrier for the bacteria and other microorganisms it encases. The literature states that the bacteria in biofilms can be up to 500-1000 times more resistant to antibiotics than normal free-floating bacteria, and research is ongoing to determine the exact mechanisms to explain this. In addition, biofilms occasionally release a portion of their bacteria, and this discharge can migrate and cause infection at a new location. At present there are no simple methods available to test for the presence of biofilms, so it is not an easy task to determine if they are present in a patient's nasal system. The slime or scum layer looks a great deal like normal mucus.

[size=large][b]Available Treatments[/b][/size][hr]Some people suggest that nasal irrigation can be beneficial for people with biofilms, and this is certainly a good idea for other reasons as well. In fact it may be the single best thing that people with chronic sinus problems could do for themselves in the opinion of this author. Some studies seem to indicate that the only cure at present is debridement, or physical removal of the substance by an ENT. Again, we are in the early days of research into the theory, so it will be years before it becomes main-stream and other treatment therapies are developed and tested. If I were desperate with sinus problems and had tried every known therapy with no success, (including topical fungal therapy, which is also a relatively new approach) I think I would try to contact one of the medical schools at the universities that are doing research on this topic and see what I could learn or if I might be included in one of their formal studies. Among these are the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, West Virginia University in Morgantown, the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, the Universite of Montreal in Canada, the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, Cambridge in England, Dartmouth College, the Center for Biofilm Engineering at Montana State University, and the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, among others. I easily found extracts of papers written by all of these entities with a simple internet search on 'biofilms'. Developing a basis for this composition on Sinusitis Patients was a lengthy task. It took lots of patience and hard work to develop.

Conclusion Research thus far shows a strong correlation between chronic sinusitis and the presence of biofilms in the nasal cavities of chronic sinusitis sufferers. Much more research to prove the theory definitively and to see it become a main-stream diagnosis remains to be done. At this point people are not even talking about such treatments as nasal sprays or other medications. Sinus sufferers should at least be aware of the issue and keep an eye on what research is being reported, as well as irrigating their noses with a saline solution daily. As noted above, there are a good number of research labs studying all aspects of biofilm research around the world, both medical and non-medical, so hopefully we sinus headache symptoms day an answer to the question posed at the beginning of this article and be able to effectively treat the group of people who continue to suffer from sinusitis despite years of treatment and multiple surgeries that do not bring permanent relief. Sinusitis Research are basically interesting parts of our day-to-day life. It is only that sometimes, we are not aware of this fact!

[size=large][b]Status of Biofilm Research as It Pertains to Chronic Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]Research regarding biofilms and sinusitis is still in its early stages. Most scientific papers describing research into the subject have been attempts to prove the theory that biofilms are present in chronic sinusitis fatigue symptoms that they are a factor in the condition. We are a long way from seeing studies that might test how beneficial a certain treatment might be, or even how an ENT could easily determine if a patient has biofilms in his nasal passages.
