Sinusitis is the inflammation of the sinuses that occurs with either a viral, bacterial, or fungal infection. The sinuses are air-filled spaces in the skull, located behind the forehead, nasal bones, cheeks, and eyes, that are lined with mucus membranes. Healthy sinuses are sterile and contain no bacteria, viruses, fungus or other organisms and are open, allowing the mucus to drain and the air to circulate in them.



Sinusitis is an acute or chronicle disorder caused by the swelling of the nasal passages and inflammation of the sinuses. The swollen nasal passages create a blockage and the nasal discharges cannot be evicted; in time infection appears.



For people with significant allergies, effective treatment of the allergies is important in the treatment of their chronic sinus infections. Sinus treatments work by decreasing the swelling in the nose around the sinus openings, removing allergens, thinning the mucous in the nose, or killing the bacteria that linger in the sinus cavities.



There are drug-free, effective sinus treatments today that are totally natural. My friends and family members and others who have suffered for years with sinus problems, sinus infections and constantly running noses or stuffed noses, no longer suffer today. Seek out these sinus cures, 'busters' and natural treatments and get rid of your sinus problems forever.



Sinus infections are diagnosed in more than 30 million US residents every year and are among the most common reasons people see their doctor. Sinus problems are usually diagnosed after taking a medical history, doing a physical exam and evaluating the signs and symptoms. However most people know they have a sinus problem or sinus infection before they ever visit their doctor. The doctor visit may follow days or even weeks of trying to cure a sinus infection.



Some other causes that increase one's susceptibility include changes due to pregnancy, working with children, and smoking. Many smokers suffer from chronic sinusitis. Allergies and reflux disease (GERD) can contribute also. Tooth infections can cause sinusitis and dental work including extractions and root canals can inflame or infect the sinuses, if they are near your sinuses.



Types of Sinuses


Paranasal Sinus


Dural Venous Sinus


Coronary Sinus



Natural cures for sinusitis include eating a balanced diet, natural and nutritional supplements, physical exercise which aids as decongestants and maintaining good physical hygiene. When natural remedies and over the counter drugs are not effective enough to stop the pain of sinusitis it is better to consult your doctor for another treatment option for your sinus congestion.



Treatments



1. Anti-biotics - A course of anti-biotics such as amoxicillan prescribed by a doctor usually gets rid of acute sinusitis.



2. Over the counter decongestant tablets and liquids - OTC decongestants such as Sudafed can relieve nasal congestion to help you breathe more easily. Like any medication they have side effects.



3. Over the counter decongestant nasal sprays - OTC nasal sprays such as Vicks Sinex can relieve inflammation and nasal congestion by shrinking blood vessels in the sinuses.



4. Over the counter pain relievers - OTC pain relievers such as Aspirin and Ibuprofen can be used to relieve inflammation and pain. However they can cause side effects such as slowing down the digestive system and internal bleeding.

3. Steam Vapor


4. Use Essential Oils To Enhance The Steam Effect



There are different kinds of sinus infection symptoms depending upon the sinus that is infected. There can be pain anywhere near these sinuses. With frontal sinuses there can be pain over the eyes in the brow area; with maxillary sinuses, inside each cheekbone; with ethmoid sinuses, just behind the bridge of the nose and between the eyes; and with sphenoid sinuses, behind the ethmoids in the upper region of the nose and behind the eyes. This pain is the most common symptom for sinusitis.



Usually the simple sinusitis treatment is to use a natural antibiotic for sinus infection that is proven to work. Otherwise antihistamines are generally best used in the case of allergies, and do not tend to work as well in treating colds and sinus infections. There are also a number of prescription decongestants that your doctor can give you if over the counter remedies do not have the desired effect.



Causes of Sinus Infection



Fungus infection is known to cause sinus infection. Fungi are found profusely in our environment but it is harmless to humans as we have a natural resistance to fungi. But you must beware of the common black mold which we may find in our homes. Black mold can only proliferate in moist and damp areas. These are the areas where natural sunlight cannot reach. If nothing is done and you breathe in these mold spores regularly, your body's natural immune system could fall drastically.
