A Natural Sinus Remedy- Nasal Irrigaton

pulses / second. It takes about 5 — 8 minutes to move the bacteria from the front of the nose to the back. This system is called The Mucociliary Clearance system and consists of the cells of the surface of the nose, the cilia, and the mucus. The same cilia are in the chest and move infection out of the chest to the stomach.

Things can go wrong:

·         Mucosal cells are missing and so there is not enough mucus or cilia

·         The mucus may be too thick, like molasses, and this keeps the cilia from moving

·         The cilia may be too slow. Diesel and other fumes impair the cilia movement.

In these conditions, bacteria and viral invaders remain in the nose and multiply to enter the body and make you sick. They multiply and give off an unpleasant odor. In addition, the accumulated mucus can block the sinus openings which allows bacteria to multiply inside the sinus cavity.

For example, in Cystic Fibrosis or Aids, the mucus is too thick and the cilia can’t do an effective job. Hence, lots of sinus and chest problems. It is estimated that 25% of asthmatics have sinus problems.

In the Drug Free Approach, a natural sinus remedy, efforts are directed to restore cilia movement. .

What Helps the Cilia?

First rule is adequate hydration. Drink enough to make the urine light. Drinking warm tea is effective because the chemical composition of tea stimulates cilia movement. For example, carry tea bags with you on long flights to overcome the dry cabin air.

Hot compresses to the nose and sinus areas helps blood flow which helps increase cilia movement.

Moisture to the nose in the form of liquids without harsh preservatives are desirable. The closer the liquid is to the natural body the better. For example saline with the body’s electrolytes is reported to stimulate cilia best. *

Irrigation can help by removing thick phlegm that contains bacteria and allergens.

Pulsatile irrigation has been reported in medical journals as being highly effective. This is because the pulse rate "matches" the best rate of the cilia and helps encourage their movement.

Also pulsatile irrigation is more effective in removing thick mucus. It is the choice for removing bacteria from surgical areas.

The pulsation — movement - has a "massage" affect in bringing circulation to the area and moving stale blood products out. A significant advantage to the mechanical pulsatile irrigators is that you can set the pressure at quite low — much lower than nose blowing — so it can be gentle and accepted by kids as well as adults.

Pulsatile irrigation serves another purpose. As a stream flows past a narrow opening like the sinus ones, it creates a vacuum and pulls out the material and the solution replaces the sinus material This is called Bernoulli’s Principle. But with pulsation that "suction / displacement " is enhanced by the pulsating action which acts like a pumping action so more fluid is displaced from the sinuses.

Antibiotics

When the cilia or Mucociliary Clearance system fails, antibiotics help by either killing the bacteria or interfering with their reproduction. The problem comes after the bacteria are killed off. If the cilia continue to non- function or if the sinuses continue to be blocked, eventually a new infection will begin.

Formerly, any sinus infection would respond to penicillin or sulfonamides. Due to the abuse of antibiotics, many bacteria are highly resistant to various antibiotics and doctors must study their local bacteria sensitivities which may vary from one city to another.

Relief from symptom of sinusitis can be obtained by vasoconstrictor nose spray, decongestants and just plain bed rest too.

A Drug Free Natural Sinus Remedy

There are several reasons why A Drug-Free natural sinus remedy is so important:

·         It can work

·         You avoid side effects of antibiotics

·         You train your body to respond to infection like it was born to do

·         It works for drug-resistant bacteria as well as drug-sensitive ones.

·         You can start treatment anytime including when the doctor’s office is closed.

But it can’t work for all cases. No matter how much you use compresses, take liquids, use pulsatile irrigation, take enzymes that liquefy mucus, medical help may be needed. For example, pulsatile irrigation won’t help if there is a mechanical blockage to the infected sinus. Pulsatile irrigation should be done at low pressure and won’t work if the nose is fully blocked.
