Chronic Sinus Infections....what Do I Do? Posted: 03-18-04 11:40am
I have been having chronic sinus
infections. I stopped going to the
doctor for all of them because I am sick
of taking antibiotics. I have lately
been taking echinacia (herbal) when I
start to feel it coming on and w/in 2 days
its gone. But why do I keep getting them
chronically? Is there a surgery they can
do? Somethign more wrong with me?

Ahhh thanks a million! I am going to
give that a try tomorrow when the pharmacy
opens. I know I completely get rid of
the infection because they are months
apart and I have no symptoms whatsoever in
between. But I will def. Give that a
try. Thanks.

Alternative For Sinus Headaches And Chronic Infections Posted: 05-11-04 03:10am
incorporating the use of therapeutic
essential oils may provide relief. Single
oils include: rosemary, tea tree
(melaleuca), eucalyptus, lavender, lemon,
geranium.
you can combine these oils and diffuse
them with an aromatherapy diffuser. It is
recommended to diffuse for 10 minutes, 2-5
times daily and at night.
Dietary supplements that may assist you
would include vitamins a and c.
You might want to consider using a colon
cleansing product. This would remove
toxins thay may be causing your headaches.
Try self massage. By applying pressure to
specific areas of the head, you can open
up the sinuses and ease tension. Rub the
area surrounding the bones just above and
below the eyes, and massage the cheeks
directly in line with these points. Lean
your head forward slightly to facilitate
nasal drainage. Applying heat to the
sinuses can also be beneficial.
If you have any questions or need
additional info, drop me a private
message. I'd be happy to help you locate
products which can help you feel good
again!
Be well,
kathy

Processed Sugar And Dairy Posted: 06-09-04 13:23pm
I have horrible chronic sinus infections.
When one starts coming on I make a sinus
rinse using a tsp of salt to one cup of
warm water. I suck up the combination
with a baby bulb syringe bought at the
pharmacy. Only one squirt per nasal
passage because more than that can
irritate the tissues.
Also, I have found that if I eat too much
sugar, ie cookies, cake, ice cream and
everything else I like, and too much dairy
like milk and cheese, my sinus infections
get worse. I went over a month not
eating any of this stuff and the sinus
infections went away. However when I
went on vacation to amsterdam I ate
everything in sight that was yummy. When
I returned home I had a really bad
infection that took a month to finally get
rid of. Now i'm trying to wean myself
back off the sugar and dairy. This might
be something you could give a try!
Homeopathic medicine has good remedies to
get rid of sinusitis and give you relief
from nasal blocking,s neezings, nasal
discharge, heaviness of the head ,
dullness, inabililty to concentrate on
your work etc.

Health Supplement Posted: 10-08-04 14:01pm
Allergies could be due to depleted/weaken
immune system and depleted antioxidant
defense system.
I am taking some health supplement.
I had tried the antioxidant supplement.
I feel better at times and can breathe
better. I will try the nutritional
supplement soon.
You can give it a try. Pm me if you want
the necessary information.
