It is worse is getting a sinus infection as a result of the allergy. Let 's discuss how to prevent this.
In Allergy - for example we are allergy in the fall - blowing your nose too hard in weakened the immune system by damaging the nasal membranes. Poor sleep, poor diet, anxiety, too many drying medications can reduce the normal immune response. In allergy, getting chilled, and too many iced drinks slow the good nasal cilia response.
Nasal Cilia
In the early stages of a weed allergy the nasal cilia speed up and the nose drips. Later, the cilia are exhausted, and no longer move the bacteria out of the nose, Normally nasal cilia move bacteria out of the nose and keep you healthy. Thus allowed the bacteria to multiply.
Excessive blowing irritates the nose in the same way as rubbing the eyes too hard-eye-rubbing damages the poor eye membranes, and blowing hard can damage nasal membranes. Big Jim blows hard and loud enough to hear him next door, he is harming his tissues and spreading bacteria to healthy areas of his sinuses and into his ears.
Importance: If you are in a rainy area, the humidity above 50% increase dust mites and mold so keeping the humidity below 50% is important. Even if weeds are your allergy, dust adds to your misery, as does mold.
Nasochrom is containing such antihistamine such as Astelin or Astepro help many allergics. If you know your allergy calendar, you can start Nasochrom before the allergy season for good relief. Nasochrom is available Some persons do well with the cortisone type nasal sprays such as Flonase or Veramist. For most persons, the effects of the various cortisone nasal sprays are similar, so select by price.
On the other hand, be aware that nasal sprays containing benzalkonium inhibit cilia function. Long-term use of African nasal spray can cause rebound and addiction to this product.
With pulsatile saline irrigation you get a known removal of pollen and the wave pulsatile action restores cilia function.
Prevent the Sinus Infection:
Prevention of sinus infection is accomplished by keeping the cilia moving and washing away pollen and bacteria.
Honey kills bacteria and also thins mucus. About eight glasses of tea Lemon contains antioxidants and thins the mucus, therefore better cilia movement. This is the allergic response of histamine and IgE.
Cilia speed up with rest and relaxation and freedom from anxiety. Use compresses to the sinus areas-
o between the eyes for the ethmoid sinuses
o below the eyes for the maxillary sinuses
o above the eyes for the frontal sinuses
This helps in two ways - increased circulation and resting the patient.
Remember Chicken Soup - Jewish penicillin? That also has factors speed nasal cilia. Recall, your nose sometimes drips when you take chicken soup.
That way, you avoid the stomach acid (Humibid is a Guaifensin product as it is ca. that inactivates these enzymes.
Adequate fluids help too. Sudafed and related products (pseudoephedrine) work well.
Humming at a low pitched "oooommmm" is a vibratory sound that gets the tissue vibrating, as well as the air itself and help cilia move well. There is a device called The Flutter Device. It is like a kazoo and when you blow in it There is an Australian musical instrument called the DIDGERIDOOS that gives the deep resonate sound ideal for chest and nasal cilia.
Jump rope and jumping jacks are also effective for waking up slow cilia, but not many of my patients have energy for this after six weeks of sneezing.
Good advice. Since you sleep and rest. Good advice. Since good sleep, I am afraid to keep up with yourself and keeping up your immunity and avoiding a sinus infection, here are some pointers that help:
Make going to sleep as formal as possible with specific steps you repeat nightly such as:
Brush your teeth
Comb / brush your hair
Cream your hands / face
Some people do better with a sleepy music or a TV show such as the Shopping Channel for men or the sports Channel for women. You may want to discuss with your doctor about using Melatonin to help set that sleep clock.
For that nighttime plugged nose, a Benzedrex inhaler many works well, as does a Benadryl capsule.
Used during the usage of pulling at the rate of "harmonize" with normal cilia movement. Used during the wives that waves that, like the ocean, come up and then retreat. allergy season, pulsatile irrigation is effective in irrigating away dust and pollen, lowering the body & # 39; s IgE level in the blood, and reducing the need for drugs.
If some of you are to avoid taking drugs for these drugs for their allergy, especially if you are pregnant. If you use pulsatile irrigation to remove the jasmine pollen that lands in your nose, you are still allergic to the pollen, but your body can handle the reduced amount of the pollen in your system with fewer symptoms when your natural cilia movement is active in removing the pollen.
When Mucus is Colored
Then common them is used squeeze or pot irrigators that have "flowback," with flowback, bacteria from the nose resources back into the bottle or pot and grow; then they are introduced back into the next irrigation.
Pulsatile irrigation should be started to avoid a sinus infection when milk in the cilia. "Worn out." The rate of the pulsatile wave action move the cilia, the wave irrigation action removals thick mucus that may impede cilia movement and flow. An important factor is that pulsatile irrigation removals bacteria and virus products, and is more effective for biofilm removal.
Biofilm
That same coating is a sticky so that ordinary rinsing does not have a problem with it as a chief reasonable sinus disease is so hard to cure. Pulsatile irrigation can be highly beneficial where the pulsation helps to dislodge the sticky memebrane and the wave action helps to move it out of the nose.
, Any antibiotic has drawbacks of sensitizing the patient, building up bacterial resistance and potential side effects of the drug .
Reduce Bacterial Load
Because it is metabolized by the liver and not by insulin, it is an ideal sweetener for Xylitol in a pulsatile solution. Think of them as soldiers who are now stoned or drunk to defend themselves, and can be defeated by your natural Defense factors such as lysozyme. Now, these impaired bacteria can easily be swept away.
By delivering Xylitol in the pulsatile irrigator, you are lower lower the bacterial load so that your natural healing takes place to get rid of remaining bacteria.
It is inexpensive - about five dollars a pound, it is sold in the most health food stores, it has no side effects on the patient, and does not change bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Just as you can use Xylitol daily to sweeten your tea, you just can use it daily for nasal / sinus irrigation.
In my practice I have my patients make a 1% Xylitol / Saline solution.
Add 500 cc (about one pint) of bottled or distilled water to the irrigator bowl. Add one teaspoon of salt or one pack of enhanced saline such as Breathe.ease XL. Then add two teaspoons of Xylitol. Xylitol.
Using this daily at the end of the allergy attack can restore nasal cilia function, remove bacterial products, and low lower priority load to prevent the sinus infection that may otherwise follow the allergy.
It is always important important to get sufficient rest, use the cilia stimulation I have described, and improvement natural immunity with good gut bacteria such as probiotics, and keep a sunny outlook.
The American Academy of Otolaryngology estimates 37 million people with sinus disease in the US. We recently reduced this total number by following the plan detailed here.
