Sinus Relief- Notes From Dr. Murray Grossan
| Part 2 of Article: STEP 6 Relax! Any condition- an itch, a cramp or asthma- can be made worse by anxiety reinforcement. The more it itches, the more you scratch, the more nervous you get, the more it itches, the more nervous you get, and so on. You can use a mirror as a biofeedback device to prevent this cycle. Sit in front of a mirror. See your face, jaw, shoulders. Breathe in count of four and out count of six. Make exhalation longer than inhalation. |
As you exhale, let this be a signal to relax your MUSCLES of the face, jaw, shoulders, etc. You cannot have anxiety if your muscles are relaxed. Let the mirror tell you when. Once you learn this you can do it without the mirror. This method of relaxation is strongly recommended for asthmatic kids.
STEP 7
Choose the most effective medical treatment for sinus relief. Today there are newer antihistamines for allergy that don't cause much drowsiness. They can be combined with a decongestant. If your system is exhausted -after sneezing non stop for 6 weeks, complete rest in bed is effective in restoring your natural cortisone. Or your doctor may prescribe a short course of prednisone which somewhat does the same thing. Some nasal sinus problems come from acid coming from your stomach into the nose and throat. Follow the directions for avoiding this problem including elevating the head of the bed, avoid eating after 8 PM, avoid spices and take an antacid your doctor may recommend.
You may find that one of the cortisone sprays -Rhinocort, Flonase, etc. gives you complete relief with just one spray each day.
These are brief comments that generally outline Dr. Grossan’s book entitled “The Sinus Cure- 7 Simple Steps”. This book helped me a lot when I was looking for solution to my snus problems, and I still refer to it often. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for sinus relief.
