HI BlondieHere are some ideas on how to heal the issue.Causes of SinusitisOver the course of the last few decades, there has been an increase in the incidence of sinusitis in the U.S. and other industrialized nations that is directly related to a corresponding increase in air pollution and unhealthy indoor air, making unhealthy air and air pollution the two main factors of sinusitis. Other environmental causes of sinusitis include cold and flu viruses, bacterial and fungal infections, excessively cold or dry air, cigarette smoking, and regular exposure to secondhand smoke.Sinusitis can also be caused or exacerbated by food allergies and sensitivities, dental and gum disease, stress, lowered immunity, structural problems within the nasal cavities (such as a deviated septum), nasal cysts and/or polyps, and unresolved emotions, especially anger. Candiasis (systemic yeast overgrowth) and the overuse of pharmaceutical drugs, especially antibiotics, are two other common causes of sinusitis.------------------------------...Natural Cures
Aromatherapy: Inhaling the steamed vapors of the essential oils camphor, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, pine, or tea tree can help improve breathing and aid in fighting infection.
Diet:If you suffer from sinusitis, you need to be screened for food allergies and sensitivities, and then avoid eating those foods that you are allergic or sensitive to. In addition, avoid all sugar and sugar products, wheat and wheat byproducts, soy products, soft drinks, commercially processed foods, and all foods containing artificial ingredients, such as additives, colorings, flavorings, and preservatives (such as BHA, BHT, sodium nitrite, sulfites, saccharin, aspartame, and cyclamates). Also minimize your intake of milk and dairy products, and coffee and other caffeine products, as well as red meat, salt, refined carbohydrates (white breads, pastries, commercial pastas), corn, chocolate, and unhealthy fats (hydrogenated or trans fats).Drink plenty of pure, filtered water (at least eight ounces every two hours; or for best results, add fresh squeezed lemon juice and a dash of cayenne pepper) and fresh squeezed, organic vegetable juices throughout the day, as well as hot broths and soups. Diluted organic pear juice can also be helpful, in order to loosen up lung congestion. Also emphasize organic, whole foods, especially plenty of fresh, raw organic fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, organic, free-range meats and poultry, and wild-caught fish. Garlic, cayenne pepper, chili peppers, horseradish, and onions should be eaten regularly, due to their powerful health benefits for the lungs and respiratory system. Organic, extra virgin olive oil should also be used liberally.Herbs: Useful herbs for treating and preventing sinusitis include Echinacea, elder flowers, ephedra, eyebright, garlic, goldenrod, goldenseal, horseradish, Oregon grape, pokeroots, purple cornflower, stinging nettle, wild indigo, and yarrow.Best of health to you
genetics, anatomy, allergies, trauma, locale, etc.
I personally think it's just genetics. My sister had terrible sinus trouble, she was going to the doctor and getting antibiotics every 1-2 months! They tried to put her on allergy medication, but it didn't make any difference, so I'm guessing it's not where you live. I mean, I don't have trouble like that. Anyway, in the end she had her adenoids removed. I don't know what it did to help, but it did help. However, it really must just be genetics since she still gets more than the average person.
I was not particularly "predisposed" to sinus infections. Physical factors in the environment caused it. I broke my nose when I was 12, and I didn't really develop chronic sinus problems until I began to spend a lot of time in hockey rinks. Also, I developed some autumn allergies - probably to some kinds of mold. Once I had a "window" done on one of my sphenoid sinuses, and when they went in there they found a fungus. Yuck! Anyway, I suppose it improved my condition a little bit. Now I'm a little less prone to sinus infections (no more hockey rinks except for the professional ones). I also used to smoke cigarettes for years. Probably I'm a lot healthier now because I only get 1 or 2 sinus infections and only in the winter. It used to run constantly from October- March. One more thing, we have a slang expression for the bad stuff in the air we get from some kind of manufacturing (probably in Pennsylvania), called the "New Jersey crud."
