Thumbs Down 
[size=4][b]Sinus Remedies - Home Remedies for Sinus Infection[/b][/size][hr]One of the most common infections, the world over, is sinus. The bones near the nose contain cavities, also known as sinuses. An infection in the sinuses causes a sinus attack. The sinus swells due to such infections leading to headache, fever, difficulty in breathing and other discomforts. This physical condition is known as the sinusitis. Though there are surgeries for sinusitis, home remedies for sinus infection are a better option.

Paste of cinnamon and water, or ginger with milk or water, or basil leaves mixed with cloves and dried ginger, when applied on the forehead provides instant relief. In addition to these, other home remedies like intake of ripe grape juice, having jalape'o peppers and warm tea, all have positive effects.

The steam of eucalyptus oil, when inhaled, is found to have healing effects for sinus infections. Above all, a great deal of rest coupled with a big amount of water and other fluids' intake are sure to provide relief from the excruciating pain.

[list][*]But what exactly is sinus?[*]There is an opening in each of the sinuses or cavities for a free exchange of mucus and air.[*]A mucus membrane lining connects one sinus to the other.[*]Some infections and diseases, like asthma, cause inflammation of the membrane lining as well as the sinus.[*]This blocks the mucus and air inside the lining and creates a vacuum.[*]Due to this pressure on the sinus walls, a severe pain is caused.[*]However, as mentioned earlier, chronic infection needs prolonged treatment.[*]Moreover, if the problem still persists even after the above mentioned home remedies for sinus infection, it is advised to consult a doctor.[/list]

By treating symptoms like headache, severe pain and nasal blockages, comfort can be achieved. But acute sinusitis demands a prolonged treatment. In addition to antibiotics and sinus therapies, home remedies for sinus infections can prove to be quite effective. Taking in steam from a vaporizer or a container of hot water can provide immediate relief by decongestanting the blockage. A hot or cold compress, i.e an absorbent pad pressed on to a part of the body to relieve inflammation, over the inflamed problem area is also effective in reducing the pain, and, thus, is one of the best home remedies for sinus infections.

[size=large][b]Sinus Infections, in Themselves, are Painful[/b][/size][hr]You can very well imagine how painful a severe sinus infection can be. Dealing with such discomforting pain for a few days, or at the most a week or so, is still bearable. But those suffering from such sinus infections bear this pain for anywhere between two to three months or even more.

Whereas an acute sinus infection, that lasts between a few days to a week or so, can be treated with time-tested home remedies, a severe sinus infection, lasting more than a month and recurring frequently, needs the doctors' consultation and medication.

This usually is an acute infection of the sinuses with fever, chills and yellow or green discharge from the nose. There is pain in the sinuses over the eyes, beneath the eyes and may even extend to pain in the upper teeth. The pain is constant and somewhat throbbing and usually worsens with bending over. When the discharge is colored then the infection is most probably bacterial but rarely it may be fungal.

Sinusitis is a term for inflammation of the lining of the sinuses and usually is caused by an allergic reaction of some sort. Common culprits are seasonal pollens, such as grass and ragweed, in addition to dust mites and pet dander.

The specific medications used to treat migraines, such as triptans will not have an effect on a true sinusitis or sinus infection so that too can help diagnose the headache.

Any form of relief is usually welcomed by anyone who is suffering from a sinusitis health condition. Sinusitis is a condition whereby, sinuses in the body are subjected to inflammation and in the process the lining covering them swells up. When the swelling takes place, air in the air passages is prevented from reaching the sinuses and immediately, the patient starts experiencing some breathing difficulties. This is usually followed up by severe headaches, fever, nasal congestion due to mucus pilling up inside the nostrils, constant coughing and having a nasal discharge that looks like pus coming out of the nose. All these symptoms make the patient feel uncomfortable most of the time and for this reason sinusitis relief is always sought out by the patient.

Consumption of hot liquids such as hot chicken soup throughout the day also helps the patient to obtain sinusitis relief. Hot liquids usually aid in moisturizing the mucous membranes and in the process help increase cilia movement. Just like when using warm damp towels for sinusitis relief, increase of cilia movement here helps to remove the accumulated mucus in the nostrils. This will again enable your breathing to be easier which will mean that the patient is not forced to breathe with difficulties. Two main things are achieved when you do this. One of them is that the patient enjoys having non congested nose and the second thing is that, pain usually experienced in sinus located areas stops as the breathing process is made easier.Definitely after this, the patient feels relieved from sinusitis symptoms.

Once the damp towel is warm enough not to cause blisters on the skin, you are supposed to place it on your face with major emphasis being put on the area below your eyes or between them. This method helps to enhance the circulation inside the sinuses which helps increase cilia movement inside the nostrils. By increasing the movements, the cilia are able to wash out the mucus pilled up in the nostrils. After this happens, air is left to flow without any hindrance inside the air passages. This makes the breathing process much easier for you and in the process, you get to have sinusitis relief. However, for you to realize considerable relief, this procedure need to be undertaken on numerous occasions throughout the day.

While many may consider swimming in the ocean as part of leisure, it may also be used to obtain sinusitis relief. When the sea water enters your nose while swimming, the salt in it comes into contact with the bacteria that cause the sinusitis infection. Bacteria being unicellular, they contain a semi permeable membrane as their outer cell cover. This physiological feature makes it possible for the salt found in the sea water drain all the water molecules inside their bodies through a process known as osmosis. This process ultimately kills the bacteria and in turn the sinusitis infection is brought to an end. When this finally happens, all other sinusitis symptoms also cease to exist thus the patient becomes relieved at last. The title of this composition could be rightly be Sinusitis Symptoms.
