[size=4][b]Sinusitis Herbal Cure - Home Remedies for Sinus Problems - How Home Remedies can Keep Sinus Problems At Bay[/b][/size][hr]Sinus infection, or sinusitis, is an inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages. The sinus cavities which are behind the eyes, forehead, nose and cheekbones get inflamed due to cold or some allergic reaction. People prefer to use home remedies for sinus problems as they are outgrown the allopathic medication which gives not much relief.

Home remedies for sinus problems are best used at the onset of the infection. It can give a long cure to the infection and in many times even kill the bacteria. One very good remedy is the nasal wash. A nose washing tool known as the Neti- Pot is used to pour warm salt water from one nostril to another. In the process it washes out dried mucous and kill bacteria from the nose and open blocked nasal passage. Getting information on specific topics can be quite irritating for some. This is the reason this article was written with as much matter pertaining to Sinus Problems as possible. This is the way we aim to help others in learning about Sinus Problems.

Hot compression with a hot water bag or dry fermentation over the sinus area gives good relief from headaches due to sinus and opens up blocked cavities which are filled with thickened mucous. Fresh pineapple juice is very good as it contains the enzyme bromelain. Many suggest that Peppermint or elderberry flower tea helps kill the infection. It is also believed that a paste of dried ginger powder and preed lotus root applied on the sinus area can give instant relief. Now that we think about it, Sinusitis are not actually that difficult a topic to write about. Just looking at the word, ideas form in people's minds about the meaning and usage of Sinusitis.

Equivalent amount of powdered clove, ginger, and cayenne pepper ginger mixed with warm water and used to rinse your throat help clear a sore throat and clean the mucus in the sinuses. It was really tough getting information about anything previously. Now with the advent of the Internet, anyone can access any information at any time of the day.

[list][*]Another home remedy for sinus problems is to take Horseradish with a drop of lemon juice placed in the mouth which can clear blocked nasal passages.[*]Taking apple cider vinegar with water 2-3 times a day can cure the infection.[*]Even grape fruit seed extract has excellent curative properties.[*]There are no boundaries on countries for one to access information about Sinusitis through the Internet.[*]All one has to do is to surf, and then the required matter is availed![/list]

[size=large][b]Like Wise Steam Inhalation Also Helps in Decongestion[/b][/size][hr]Add two drops of euclyputus oil in the steamed water and it helps to a great extent and could be the best home remedy for sinus problems. Many of the products to cure sinus is readily available in our homes. Honey is a healthy substance. Honey and vinegar in a glass of water acts a good curative drink. Many people find Ginseng powder to very useful in sinus.

[size=large][b]Properties of Biofilms[/b][/size][hr]As mentioned, the scum layer produced by the biofilms seems to form a sort of protective barrier for the bacteria and other microorganisms it encases. The literature states that the bacteria in biofilms can be up to 500-1000 times more resistant to antibiotics than normal free-floating bacteria, and research is ongoing to determine the exact mechanisms to explain this. In addition, biofilms occasionally release a portion of their bacteria, and this discharge can migrate and cause infection at a new location. At present there are no simple methods available to test for the presence of biofilms, so it is not an easy task to determine if they are present in a patient's nasal system. The slime or scum layer looks a great deal like normal mucus.

[size=large][b]Available Treatments[/b][/size][hr]Some people suggest that nasal irrigation can be beneficial for people with biofilms, and this is certainly a good idea for other reasons as well. In fact it may be the single best thing that people with chronic sinus problems could do for themselves in the opinion of this author. Some studies seem to indicate that the only cure at present is debridement, or physical removal of the substance by an ENT. Again, we are in the early days of research into the theory, so it will be years before it becomes main-stream and other treatment therapies are developed and tested. If I were desperate with sinus problems and had tried every known therapy with no success, (including topical fungal therapy, which is also a relatively new approach) I think I would try to contact one of the medical schools at the universities that are doing research on this topic and see what I could learn or if I might be included in one of their formal studies. Among these are the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, West Virginia University in Morgantown, the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, the Universite of Montreal in Canada, the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, Cambridge in England, Dartmouth College, the Center for Biofilm Engineering at Montana State University, and the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, among others. I easily found extracts of papers written by all of these entities with a simple internet search on 'biofilms'. We have gone through extensive research and reading to produce this article on Sinusitis. Use the information wisely so that the information will be properly used.

Conclusion Research thus far shows a strong correlation between chronic sinusitis and the presence of biofilms in the nasal cavities of chronic sinusitis sufferers. Much more research to prove the theory definitively and to see it become a main-stream diagnosis remains to be done. At this point people are not even talking about such treatments as nasal sprays or other medications. Sinus sufferers should at least be aware of the issue and keep an eye on what research is being reported, as well as irrigating their noses with a saline solution daily. As noted above, there are a good number of research labs studying all aspects of biofilm research around the world, both medical and non-medical, so hopefully we will have some day an answer to the question posed at the beginning of this article and be able to effectively treat the group of people who continue to suffer from sinusitis despite years of treatment and multiple surgeries that do not bring permanent relief.

[size=large][b]Status of Biofilm Research as It Pertains to Chronic Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]Research regarding biofilms and sinusitis is still in its early stages. Most scientific papers describing research into the subject have been attempts to prove the theory that biofilms are present in chronic sinusitis patients and that they are a factor in the condition. We are a long way from seeing studies that might test how beneficial a certain treatment might be, or even how an ENT could easily determine if a patient has biofilms in his nasal passages.

The researchers are fairly unanimous in their conclusion that fungus is a likely cause of all cases of chronic sinusitis. As a rule, physicians will prescribe antibiotics for treating sinus.

Victims of chronic sinus problem may have the following symptoms for 12 weeks or more: facial pain, facial congestion, nasal obstruction, discolored post-nasal drainage, pus in the nasal cavity, and at times, fever. They may also have headache, bad breath and fatigue.

But with sinus infection, if it is not properly treated, it will lead to more chronic sinus problem. Since the nose is the entryway to the sinuses and upper respiratory tract, maintenance of a healthy nasal environment is essential to overall sinus infection and respiratory health. Some wonder if they tolerate "water" going up to the nose.

[size=large][b]Sinus Infections can be Both Acute and Chronic[/b][/size][hr]Usually, the infection starts with a cold due to factors such as weather changes or an allergy episode that causes swelling of the mucous membranes and increased production of watery mucus. Some sinus infections take ten days to four weeks to get better. Chronic sinus problem can last for weeks or months. Using great confidence in ourselves, we endeavored to write such a long article on Sinuses. Such is the amount of matter found on Sinuses.

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.

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.

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.

Placing small damp towels on your face is one way to achieve sinusitis relief. The small towel is supposed to be dipped inside hot water and then removed. 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.
