Some tips to help relieve the inflammation and discomfort of sinusitis:

HERBS

Licorice
Root of the liquorice plant (taken in capsules) helps to reduce inflammation and works to energize the immune system to fight off sinus infections.

Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus is helpful in treating inflammation that is associated with sinus infections. Eucalyptus oil can penetrate the mucous membranes and loosen up congestion. Use a steam inhalation once a day.

Echinacea

Echinacea is a strong immune system booster and helps it to function at a more optimal level. Start at the highest dosage possible during the initial stages of sinus infection and gradually taper off.

Peppermint
Peppermint has strong anti-inflammatory properties that help to calm mucous membranes. Steep peppermint in boiling water and breathe in the vapours.

Lemon Balm
Lemon balm is used as an infection fighter and can kill off infections and bacteria. Drink warm lemon balm tea twice a day for relief of symptoms.

Step 1

Find a doctor who understands chronic sinusitis well and does not hesitate to treat the symptoms aggressively. Also, look for a physician that inquires about and responds to any sign of infection, such as fever, fatigue, facial pain and headaches. While antibiotics will not help chronic sinusitis, if they are delayed when needed, more damage to the sinus cavities can result.

Step 2

Blow your nose and expel mucus regularly. Many chronic sinusitis sufferers simply live with the clogged up, stuffy feeling and don't feel the need to clear their sinuses regularly. Often, it doesn't seem to help. In reality, expectorating reduces the amount of mucus available for bacterial growth and will help in the long run.

Sinusitis is one of the most commonly diagnosed infections in the United States, with as many as 40 million people each year being diagnosed with the condition. Symptoms include headache, sinus pain, soreness in the cheeks and face, nasal discharge and pain behind the eyes. Sinus infections can stem from untreated allergies, bacterial and viral infections, among a variety of other causes.

If your sinusitis symptoms last longer than four weeks, it's likely that you have a chronic sinusitis infection and should see a doctor for antibiotics if necessary. If you regularly have bouts of sinus symptoms, but they clear up within four weeks, this is known as acute sinusitis and the sinus pain can be managed with natural remedies while waiting for the infection to clear up on its own.

Medications to help you manage sinus infection pain can be costly, full of side effects and may not even alleviate the pain effectively. If you have been to your physician and determined you have a sinusitis infection, whether or not you are on an antibiotic, these treatments can help you manage your sinus infection naturally while you wait for the antibiotics to work and eliminate the infection.

Sinusitis infection is a common ailment affecting at least 37 millions of Americans. It can affect both adults and children alike. Its symptoms can be a nuisance, especially when it is recurring and with a long term manifestation of symptoms. There are two different types of sinusitis: chronic and acute. They are caused by different factors. Proper management help alleviate the annoying symptoms of sinusitis infection.

Relief from the discomforts brought by a sinusitis can be effectively obtained through the following management of sinusitis symptoms.

1. Nasal sprays help in rinsing the nasal passages with saline solution that gives relief against congestion.
2. Over-the-counter decongestants provide relief from nasal congestion but must be taken with precaution. Long-term use of this medication may result to a condition called rebound congestion which may be a more severe form of nasal congestion. Thus, the use of decongestants should only be limited to a few days.
3. Nasal corticosteroids provide better management with inflamed sinus.
4. With persistent bacterial sinusitis, antibiotic treatment will provide relief of symptoms, but it is not effective at the acute stage of sinusitis and when the condition is of viral cause. Its effectiveness relies on taking the correct dosage and prescribed period of taking the medicine that usually takes seven days.
5. Antifungal medications are the treatment of choice with fungal sinusitis.
6. Immunotherapy provides protection against symptoms of sinusitis when the triggering factor is allergen.

Antiperspirants for Hyperhidrosis

Most manufacturers claim that their antiperspirants effectively stop sweat all day long. Yet if you suffer from the medical condition "Hyperhidrosis" (excessive sweating), you will have applied antiperspirant, put on your shirt, and within minutes found that your shirt is soaked with sweat.

We offer clinically proven, high strength antiperspirants specifically designed to stop severe excessive sweating problems - one formulated for underarms, one for hands and one for feet.

One of several fun genetic traits I’ve inherited is sinus problems. I grew-up with many ear infection related problems, and still to this day have frequent sinus problems and allergies. My mom has actually had one of the sinus surgeries performed to help with sinus problems, and I think I’m getting closer and closer to going down that path myself as my occurance of getting sinus infections is ever increasing.

Given my high frequency of sinus infections, I’ve personally found a pretty good regiment for handling the various symptoms associated with them. I’m not a doctor by any means, so you might want to run this by your doctor for your particular case. Anyhow, here’s what I use to manage the symptoms of short term sinus infections:

Sudafed 24 Hour – You’ll probably have to ask your pharmacist for them since they are usually behind the counter, but they do actually last 23-24 hours. Helps keep your sinuses from getting too congested, and I have never noticed them making me drowsy. You’ll want to read all of the precautions as this medication is not for everyone, and may even keep you up.

Ibuprofen – Ibuprofen works well any time you need to reduce swelling and pain. This helps calm down irritated sinuses, and also keeps your sore throat at bay. If you use a decongestant other than the aforementioned Sudafed 24 Hour, make sure it doesn’t already provide ibuprofen as many do.

Lots of hot tea – Keeping hydrated is important to make sure the mucus stays thin and doesn’t keep building-up in your sinuses. Hot liquids are supposed to be the best thing for this purpose, and I’ve read that you should avoid cold things (ice cream, chilled beverages, etc). It will also make your sinus infection worse if you don’t keep hydrated, so if you don’t like hot tea, be sure to drink plenty of water or other liquid, and consume liquid-rich food items like soup which are low in sodium and don’t contain MSG.

As always, your mileage may vary, but I thought I’d post what seems to work well for me. Keep in mind this will only help with symptoms– you need to manage a sinus infection with your doctor with antibiotics and other similar treatments to actually end the infection.
