Use a natural solution such as a neti pot or nasal bottle filled with warm water and saline to treat sinusitis and relieve the discomfort and pain.
Sinusitis can be an acute or chronic condition that is the result of an inflammation of the sinus cavities. Your sinuses may be inflamed due to infection, dry nasal passages, or allergies. But whatever the cause, there is a good and natural way to treat sinusitis and relieve the irritation and pain that comes with this condition.
You may also be experiencing sinus headaches due to sinusitis, which can be distrustful to you and even downright painful.
Many people reach for over the counter medications to relieve their sinus symptoms. In a pinch taking these medications occasionally won’t do any harm, and they can get you through your day with little to no discomfort from your inflamed sinuses.
However using over the counter nasal sprays for extended periods of time can actually damage your nasal passages and cause further inflammation and irritation. Also taking sinus medication pills and capsules can leave you feeling drowsy. On top of all that, most over the counter drugs for sinus pain and congestion don’t actually treat the sinusitis, rather they just treat the symptoms.
Using nasal washes, also called nasal irrigation, can be a great way to treat sinusitis naturally and safely. Many people have started to use nasal irrigation as a way to treat acute and chronic sinusitis. Because the liquid is simply warm water mixed with saline solution, it is safe to use every day or just when someone uses it.
I use a neti pot to cleanse my sinuses and relieve the symptoms of sinusitis and for me it seems to work quite well, plus it feels good.
Using saline solution is natural and it also does multiple things that can not only relieve painful symptoms, but actually help treat sinusitis.
Using a neti pot or nasal squeeze bottle with saline solution can:
– Reduce dryness in the nasal passages and sinus cavities
– Promote nasal and sinus draining; which relieves congestion.
– Remove allergens and other foreign materials stuck in the passages.
– Promote healthier sinuses and nasal passages.
Plus it can end up costing less then expensive treatments or always having to purchase over the counter medications which usually only treat symptoms not causes.
You can purchase various neti pots and nasal irrigation bottles complete with saline packets at a wide range of places such as pharmacies. One of the big brands in the natural sinus cleansing market is SinuCleanse. Using these products takes a little getting used to, but once you get the hang out of it, it only takes a few minutes.
Using just saline and some warm water, you can be on the way to clearer and healthier sinuses and of course some relief from the sinus pressure and pain.
As always check with your doctor before starting any treatments, even all natural ones such as nasal cleansing. or If your sinus conditions persist or get worse, or you have symptoms such as high fever, contact your doctor.
