Sinusitis
Sinusitis

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the mucus membrane within the cavities of the skull bones that connect with the nose. Sinuses become blocked with excessive secretion from colds, fevers, allergy, dental infection or nasal obstruction (polyp). It may also result from chronic catarrh. The causes may be related to smoking or insufficient levels of Vitamin A.

 

Symptoms include; swollen membrane or obstruction causes patient to breathe through the mouth. There may be a loss of sense of smell, headache and tenderness of sinuses experienced.

 

The best tincture blend for this is the Allergy Tincture. It combines herbs that are anti-inflammatory as well as astringent. It can assist in getting rid of the infection and strengthening the immune system to prevent further onsets of sinusitis.

 

There is also the very effective Chest Ointment that can be applied topically to start with the loosening and breaking down of the mucous. The Breathe essential oil blend will have the same positive effect on the congested sinuses.

How to use

  • Wash the Neti pot thoroughly
  • Pour warm pre-boiled water at body temperature and add one teaspoon of salt per 500 ml of water. We recommend using sea salt. Iodine salt is not suitable for usage with Neti pot.
  • Stir until the salt is dissolved. The solution should remind one of the taste of tears. If you feel burning or otherwise uncomfortable sensations during nasal cleansing, readjust the salt concentration and temperature of the water.
  • Stand at the sink or bathtub, place your feet directly under each shoulder, keep spine and head straight. Carefully put the tip of the nozzle in the right nostril, slant your head to the right side right so that your chin aligns with your shoulder, and start to pour the solution slowly, while keeping your mouth open.
  • Breathe slowly through your mouth. Try not to yawn, talk or laugh during the procedure. The water must pour out through the left nostril. If the solution gets in your mouth, do not swallow it but readjust the position of your head so that the water gets in your left nostril.
  • After ending the procedure with one nostril, blow your nose by doing 20-30 sharp breaths turning your head in various positions.
  • Repeat steps 3-4 with your left nostril.

Wash the Neti pot with warm water. We suggest cleansing your nose using Neti pot every day. Remember, Neti pot is a personal hygiene item that shouldn’t be shared.
