How to Use a Neti Pot in Three Simple Steps
#1
Heart 
[size=4][b]Swollen Sinuses Causes - 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.

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. It was at the spur of the moment that we ventured to write something about Neti Pot. Such is the amount of matter that is available on Neti Pot.

You are one of those millions of people suffering from chronic sinusitis, follow these simple steps to ease the symptoms of your sinusitis: Sometimes, what we hear about Nasal Irrigation can prove to be rather hilarious and illogical. This is why we have introduced this side of Nasal Irrigation to you.

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 We have written a humorous anecdote on Sinus Problems to make it's reading more enjoyable and interesting to you. This way you learn there is a funny side to Sinus Problems too!

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. We were furnished with so many points to include while writing about Chronic Sinusitis that we were actually lost as to which to use and which to discard! Wink

[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.[*]The results of one reading this composition is a good understanding on the topic of Nasal Irrigation.[*]So do go ahead and read this to learn more about Nasal Irrigation.[/list]

[size=large][b]Step One: Prepare the Saline Solution[/b][/size][hr]Mix about one pint (or 16 ounces) of lukewarm water with one teaspoon of salt. Then fill the Neti Pot with the saline solution. For some people, putting half a teaspoon of baking soda into the solution makes it gentler on the nose. There is a lot of jargon connected with Sinus. However, we have eliminated the difficult ones, and only used the ones understood by everyone.

[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.[*]Writing an article on Sinuses Causes was our foremost priority while thinking of a topic to write on.[*]This is because Sinuses Causes are interesting parts of our lives, and are needed by us.[/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. Remember that it is very important to have a disciplined mode of writing when writing. This is because it is difficult to complete something started if there is no discipline in writing especially when writing on Sinusitis Infection.

Sinusitis is the inflammation of the lining of the sinus cavities in the skull. Sinus flushing produce mucous which lines the nasal cavity. They reduce the weight of the skull as these cavities are air filled. The voice resonates inside the sinus cavities. A healthy sinus cavity normally contains air whereas a sinus cavity in case of sinusitis becomes filled with mucous. A mucous filled sinus cavity can create symptoms like headache. The best cure for sinus headache is curing the disease itself.

[i]Though people believe in home remedies as a cure for sinus headache, it is recommended that a medical practitioner may be consulted as early as possible.[/i]

[size=large][b]Sinus Headache May be Confused With Migraine At Times[/b][/size][hr]X-rays, CT scans and MRI are used to distinguish between the two. Sinus headaches are also accompanied by other symptoms of sinus like facial pain, jaw pain, toothache, swelling on the face and nasal discharge. Sinus patients also complain of a cough which increases in the morning and at night. Another temporary cure for sinus headache is having a hot water shower. Hot water decongests the sinuses to some extent giving temporary relief. Eating a pepper or a jalape'o also helps sinus congestion relief sinuses. Sleeping in a dark room for some time also helps at times. The facts on Sinusitis mentioned here have a consequential impact on your understanding on Sinusitis. This is because these facts are the basic and important points about Sinusitis. Wink

[size=large][b]Most Cases of Sinus can be Cured by Taking a Course of Antibiotics[/b][/size][hr]Anti inflammatory drugs and anti allergic drugs are also prescribed at times. Nasal sprays and nasal irrigation are other techniques used to cure sinusitis. Surgery may be considered in acute cases of sinusitis. Inhaling steam or taking a cold compress over the head may be a temporary cure for sinus headache. If inhaling steam decongests the sinus completely, it can prove to be helpful in completely curing sinusitis. The first impression is the best impression. We have written this article on Cure Sinusitis in such a way that the first impression you get will definitely make you want to read more about it!

[list][*]No cure for sinus headache works and the headache worsens day by day, it is best you consult a good doctor.[*]Sinus can become chronic or extremely acute.[*]There are times when sinusitis spreads to the brain affecting the mental capabilities of a person.[*]There have been cases where sinus has become a threat to the person's life.[*]We do not mean to show some implication that Sinus Cavity have to rule the world or something like that.[*]We only mean to let you know the actual meaning of Sinus Cavity! :o[/list]

[size=large][b]Cold, Allergies, Coughing, and Sneezing can All Influence in Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]However, the fact that these can be an influence in ear infection is not commonly known. The reason that sinusitis and ear infection are related is that the sinuses and the ear are connected by a tube in the inner ear called the Eustachian tube.

[size=large][b]Also Works the Other Way Around[/b][/size][hr]Infection in the ears can also drain down into the sinuses, inflaming the sinus tissue and causing sinusitis. Sinusitis is the substance of this composition. Without Sinusitis, there would not have been much to write and think about over here!

[size=large][b]Both Sinusitis and Ear Infection are Surprisingly Simple to Prevent[/b][/size][hr]Proper and frequent cleaning of the ears with Q-tips will prevent liquid from draining into the inner ear, inviting infection to settle in the Eustachian tube or other tissue. Preventing sinusitis is just as simple. Just as we wash our hands throughout the day to prevent bacteria and disease, we should wash out our nasal passages with nasal spray on a regular basis. This cleans out germs that enter the body through the mouth and nose. In using nasal spray, one should keep in mind that studies have shown xylitol to be a natural bacteria repellant that one should look for as the leading ingredient in nasal spray. Because it is sugar free, it also reduces the ability of bacteria to leave behind damaging acids.

After swimming, bathing, playing in the snow, or other water activities, water collects in the ears, and if it is not properly cleaned out, it drains into the Eustachian tube. Because the Eustachian tube is only slightly slanted, even less in children, the liquid often settles in the Eustachian tube, inviting ear infection. Similar to sinusitis, ear infection can inflame and swell, blocking further drainage. Ear infection can cause dizziness, headaches, ear aches, and other ailments.

Before explaining further how sinusitis and ear infection are connected, I will explain them one at a time, beginning with sinusitis, then moving on to ear infection. When one is suffering from the cold, flu, or allergies, there tends to be stuffiness in the sinuses. The stuffiness is caused by the sinuses. They produce mucous in an effort to clean the sinus tissue from the dirt and bacteria breathed in. Whenever the sinuses sense impurities or bacteria, they produce more mucous. Sometimes this is counterproductive, because the bacteria may settle in the sinus tissue and cause inflammation or sinusitis. The mucous then gets blocked in by the inflammation, and instead of cleaning out the bacteria, it invites bacteria to grow. In addition to what we had mentioned in the previous paragraph, much more has to be said about Sinuses. If space permits, we will state everything about it.

Consider what happens when one having sinusitis blows his or her nose, coughs, or sneezes. Where does the air go? True, much of the air goes through the mouth and nose, but much of the air pressure goes out toward the ears. That means that infection is also pushed out toward the ears, making sinusitis an indirect cause of ear infection. This is a systematic presentation on the uses and history of Sinusitis Ear.

Question 
[size=4][b]Sinus Draining - Why Do We See More Sinus Infection Symptoms?[/b][/size][hr]Is a common know fact that we are living in a fast changing world. What used to be the norm in the past is not going to hold in the future. As it pertains to our health we are in the same boat. I'm convinced that certain maladies such as sinus infection are only going to increase and as such it is important that we recognize sinus infection symptoms and look at the alternatives out there to relieve what is an every day occurrence for millions of people around the world. But why are we seeing more sinus infection symptoms you may ask? There are a few reasons.

[size=large][b]Don't Let Sinusitis Ruin Your Day and Your Sleep[/b][/size][hr]Do something about it today. Leaving it to its own devices could land you in the hospital and even lead to blindness. Then you are not going to recognize any symptom even if you wanted to. Using great confidence in ourselves, we endeavored to write such a long article on Sinus. Such is the amount of matter found on Sinus.

One of the causes of sinusitis is environmental pollens that irritate the nasal passages. I am not an expert but I believe the natural sickle of the environment is out of kilter ( global warming!) and it is causing the seasons to stick longer than usually or be shorter than they used to be. With this the time frame in which these pollens affects people have increased and thus the sinus infection symptoms last longer than used to be the case in the past. The amounts of chemicals we spew into the atmosphere are also greatly increasing the occurrence of sinusitis as they irritate the nasal passages more and more and the abuse of over the counter nasal sprays and drugs that people snort through the nose are also adding to the problem. This can be considered to be a valuable article on Nasal Congestion. It is because there is so much to learn about Nasal Congestion here.

So the problem is wider than just our bodies not being strong enough to fight off the bugs. We need to learn to recognize the symptoms of the most common diseases and fight them effectively. Sinusitis being so common should encourage us to identify sinus infection symptoms from a mile away and deal with them promptly. Here are the most common sinus infection symptoms. 1. Nasal congestion and pressure on the inside corner of the eyes 2. Pain behind the cheekbone and under the eyes.3 Pain in your forehead accompanied with vast amounts of mucus production and fever. 4. Seeing double and feeling pain behind the eyes.

There are two main reasons why antibiotics don't work for sinus infections or sinusitis. Antibiotics have been routinely given for acute sinus infections for many years. Originally doctors prescribed them for seven days. When patients came back and still had the sinus infection the doctors increase the prescription to ten days.

Quote:[list][*]Another reason antibiotics don't work for sinus infections is that the antibiotic cannot reach the four sets of sinus cavities.[*]The sinus cavities are located in such a way that the antibiotics cannot move through the blood supply to reach them.[*]So even if your sinus infection was bacterial in origin it would be hard for the antibiotic to get to it.[*]We have included the history of Sinus Medicine here so that you will learn more about its history.[*]It is only through it's history can you learn more about Sinus Medicine.[/list]

[size=large][b]These are Two of the Reasons Why Antibiotics Won't Work for Sinus Infections[/b][/size][hr]Another problem with taking antibiotics is the side effects, adverse reactions and other risks you have taking them or for any drug for that matter. Natural remedies and natural solutions are always the best sinus treatment and there are plenty that work for sinus infections, sinusitis, pain, pressure, ear pressure, headaches, blockage and other sinus problems. Don't be surprised if you find anything unusual here about Sinus Treatment. There has been some interesting and unusual things here worth reading.

A sinus infection is not treated with antibiotics or other sinus medications most of the time the sinusitis would resolve on its own anyway within two to three weeks. In some cases of long antibiotic therapy when the problem did resolve it was credited to the antibiotic when the body did the healing.

[size=large][b]Even Several Years Ago the U[/b][/size][hr]S. Physicians Group issued a statement advising doctors not to prescribe antibiotics for sinus infections. Unfortunately recent research has shown that doctors prescribe a sinus medicine, medication or drug because they want to appease the patient and not just for sinus problems. This can be for many ailments and conditions with symptoms they have no immediate solution for.

[size=large][b]Antibiotics Don't Heal by the Way[/b][/size][hr]It's the body that heals. The truth is that most sinus infections are cause by a fungus, usually a common household mold called aspergillus. The aspergillus fungus is airborne and is just about everywhere in any household. There will be higher concentrations in bathrooms and any room that has a lot of moisture. Sometimes the mold in bathroom is obvious and sometimes it's not. Having a penchant for Acute Sinus led us to write all that there has been written on Acute Sinus here. Hope you too develop a penchant for Acute Sinus!

The meantime they may have developed a yeast infection from taking the antibiotic. Many acute and chronic sinus infection patients have developed allergies to antibiotics over the years. They have tried different antibiotics and their doctors have switched or changed antibiotics after allergic reactions trying to find one that worked. There has been an uncalculatable amount of information added in this composition on Chronic Sinus. Don't try counting it!

[list][*]The most common antibiotic that is used for sinus infections is amoxicillin.[*]Amoxicillin is synthetic penicillin.[*]Usually people who are allergic to penicillin can't take Amoxicillin.[*]Erythromycin is another that has been used much in the past.[/list]

When that didn't work the patient would give up or they would start all over with another course of antibiotics or try a different antibiotic like erythromycin or amoxicillin for example. And there are adverse reactions and side effects to consider, for example, with amoxicillin such as an upset stomach, vomiting, and diarrhea.

The unfortunate part of this is that the patient now has one or more allergies to antibiotics so they cannot be used in the future for life-threatening conditions, if needed. The first impression is the best impression. We have written this article on Sinus in such a way that the first impression you get will definitely make you want to read more about it!

[list][*]Many people often overlook the impacts that sinus has on their body.[*]Often, some doctors might not give a correct diagnosis when sinus could be the main cause for a blinding headache.[*]This usually happens when the sinus are inflamed.[*]These headaches are called secondary headaches when they are caused by something like a common cold or some other existing medical condition.[*]If the headache is the medical issue itself, it is called a primary headache.[*]These too are often caused by something else.[/list]

Once you have found out the root of the problem, there are many ways to treat it. Unfortunately, when they are caused by the common cold, only time can heal the condition. There are,however, various pain relief medicines available. Once you are through reading what is written here on Sinuses Causes, have you considered recollecting what has been written and writing them down? This way, you are bound to have a better understanding on Sinuses Causes.

[size=large][b]Environmental Factors can Also Contribute to Sinus Headaches[/b][/size][hr]Taking a plane actually aggravates them as the pressure change affects it. Allergens and stress can also adversely affect the sinuses. Other causes such as the weather can affect the problem. With humidity levels or air pressure rising or dropping, it can make sinus cavities get inflamed and headaches tend to follow. The title of this composition could be rightly be Sinuses Causes. This is because what is mentioned here is mostly about Sinuses Causes.

[size=large][b]Be Careful that You Do Not Select One that Will Actually Worsen the Affects[/b][/size][hr]Acetaminophen or aspirins are useful treatments, but it is easy to use too much of it. MOH (medication overuse headache) is something that affects people that overuse their medications, whether it be over-the-counter or prescription.

Rare cases, sinus headaches can also be caused by allergic reactions of various kinds. Certain things in food or in the air could trigger a reaction in those not normally affected by sinus headaches. These causes usually affect only a small portion of the population. This is a systematic presentation on the uses and history of Sinus Cavities. Use it to understand more about Sinus Cavities and it's functioning.

[list][*]When the sinus cavities are full and cause a problem, it will resolve itself when the cavities are drained.[*]It is useful to try inhaling steam as a start to reduce the level of fluids.[*]Antibiotics are needed to lessen the amount of fluid in the sinuses.[*]If you have recurring sinus headaches, sit down with your doctor to determine the best treatment options.[*]We hope you develop a better understanding of Sinus Cavities on completion of this article on Sinus Cavities.[*]Only if the article is understood is it's benefit reached.[/list]

[size=large][b]Sinuses are Located in a Few Different Places[/b][/size][hr]It will encompass the area above the nose and behind the eyes. The mucus and tissue in these cavities can become full or irritated, causing much pain. There are occasions when the cavities are filled to the brim and intense pressure is created, causing pain. Saying that all that is written here is all there is on Sinuses Causes would be an understatement. Very much more has to be learnt and propagated bout Sinuses Causes.

[size=large][b]Sometimes a More Serious Condition is Indicated by a Sinus Headache[/b][/size][hr]A deviated septum is genetic problem and the cavities tend to keep more moisture and fluids than it should. This is one type of sinusitis. If diagnosed with this condition, it can be corrected through surgical methods.

[list][*]Sinusitis is an ailment afflicting almost 31 million Americans each year.[*]It brings much discomfort making it very much important to find a suitable cure for this condition. [*]The symptoms of sinusitis may include fever, weakness, tiredness, coughing that is more severe at night and runny nose or nasal congestion.[*]It may also include bad breathe, green nasal discharge and pressure or a headache in the eyes, nose or cheek area.[/list]

[size=large][b]There are Times However When Sinus Problems Turn from Bad to Worse[/b][/size][hr]Resorting to medicine is required for this problem if the natural approach fails. Sinusitis treatments are mainly aimed at trying to reduce the swelling in the nasal passages and sinusitis. It also tries to eliminate infections, promote sinus drainage and keep the sinus passage open.

Hopefully the medication will succeed in putting a stop to the infection otherwise surgery may be required to finally correct the problem. More and more treatments may be devised but nothing beats a strong immune system. A well-maintained body is a natural fortress that will shield you from any disorder. Keep your body healthy by having adequate amounts of sleep and a good diet to keep your immune system at an optimal state. Keep your surroundings clean and free from possible allergens that can cause sinus infections and other diseases. We were furnished with so many points to include while writing about Sinus Drainage that we were actually lost as to which to use and which to discard!

[size=large][b]Various Approaches Have Been Devised to Combat this Condition[/b][/size][hr]There are medical and natural alternatives that have been found to be effective. As always, home care has always proven to be effective in giving comfort to sinus problems. For one, you can inhale steam to unclog your sinuses. Add a drop of lavender or eucalyptus oil in a pot of water to help make the release of trapped mucus faster. I myself have had an episode like this but thanks to steam, I'm now breathing fine. You can also resort to massaging particular spots in your face to stimulate quick relief from facial pains. Eating spicy foods is a surefire way to get those trapped mucus down the drain.
