Sinnuss problems?
Question:
Answers:
I had chronic acute sinusitus a few years back, and went to many doctors, had cat-scans, not helped. Finally at my dentists, during a routine visit, he told me I had 2 infected teeth (roots of the upper teeth often encroach into the sinus passages).
A quick root canal later, and I was on my way to sinus freedom.
My dentist said that was not uncommon, so if you haven't been to the dentist recently, go get checked out. 3 different doctors over more than a year's time couldn't find what he found in 10 minutes.
If that's not it and you just need help, go to a Whole Foods Market, or a health food store, and get what is called a "nettie pot".
It's basically a small ceramic teapot looking thing. You put a teaspoon of salt and warm (but not hot) water in it, and turn your head completely horizontal on it's side and pour the water in the top nostril. Do this over a sink.
It goes all through your sinuses and back out the other nostril.
The salt water is good for your mucus membranes and will not only wash out the excess mucus, but it will shink the membranes making it easier to breath through.
I would do this 1-3 times a day, in each nostril until it clears up.
Trust me, it sounds a little wierd, but it will totally work, and unlike all those pills, has no side affects as it's totally natural.
return to the drs and demand something is done.they're all to ready to fob us off
I'm sorry your feeling so poorly and especially after going through surgery. What happened ..what did you change in your diet,environment 2 years ago. It could be allergies to something causing sinuses problems. Have you tried spaying salt water into your sinuses ?
If they are blocked maybe try clearing them with a steam facial over a pot of steaming water and add mint or chamomile, rosemary to the water to scent it . Make a tent with a towel and hang your head over it for 20 minutes. This will cause your sinuses to drain loose.
I would go to a homeopathic store. They have so much that can help in a natural way.
I got bad sinuses. Eat a sandwhich with horseradish (hot), it works. Or drink Tabasco sauce with tomato juice. Hot foods will make you sinuses run, relieving the pressure of the blockage. Hope you feel better.
My mother bought this thing for me called sinucleanse. It comes with this piped shaped thing that you feel with warm water and add one of the packets from the box to make a saline solution. You tilt your head to the side and slightly back, pour some of the solution in one nostril and it should come out of the other one. Blow your nose after using all of the solution and you should be able to breathe easy. Worked great for me and i have always had sinus problems.
Whiskeyman has the name of it.. the nettie pot. I couldn't remember the name for the life of me.
