Causes of Sinus Allergies
There are several airborne substances that we inhale through our
mouth and nose. Many of these irritate the sinuses and can lead to
allergies. For example, Pollen, which is nothing but a small
particle released by flowering plant, enters our body while breathing.
The mucus that is present in sinuses ambushes that dirt as a defense
mechanism to prevent it from entering our lungs.
However, the mucus cannot cope with the relentless
onslaught. Over time, these pollen allergens prevent the mucus from
draining properly, which then accumulates and becomes the perfect
breeding ground for viruses and bacteria. This leads to nasal blocks
and infections.
Over time, ragweed and pollen lead to
allergies. Hay Fever, which is a serious problem, starts with
ragweed and pollen allergy but is often ignored because
the symptoms are very similar - itchy and flowing nose etc. If not
cured on time, it can lead to major disorders.
Other allergens that can cause sinus inflammation
are dirt, pollution, animal hair, food particles cloth fibers, mold,
dead insects remains and wastes, and other remains.
When do the allergy symptoms occur?
While everything in our environment can create allergic problems round
the year, most sinus allergies occur mostly in spring, late summer and
early fall seasons. During this time, the air is dry and moisture free
and it's the right time for airborne particles like pollen and ragweed
to flow in the air. Therefore, this time is very critical for diseases
concerned with allergies. These allergies usually end by the starting
of winter because of frost etc.
Symptoms of Allergies
Some of the symptoms of these allergies are very common but should not
be ignored - a runny nose, excessive sneezing (it can be 8 to 10 times
in a row), itching nose (feel like scratching), sore throat, bad
breath, watery eyes, postnasal drips which can be very irritating,
loss of taste and smell and excess coughing, specially in the night.
Any one or more of these symptoms are enough to make a person weak and
fatigued all the time.
Caution: If the
behavioral changes, mind disturbances, headache, eyesight problems, or
seizures are long lasting and are not cured, infection may spread and
lead to other allergic problems.
Treating sinus allergies at the first appearance
of symptoms... or even before
Usually symptoms of sinus allergies can be mitigated at the first
instance through a completely natural irrigation process.
This process, called 'neti' (in yoga) or simply
saline nasal irrigation is so effective, that thousands of people
suffering for years - some even as many as 50 years - have
experienced miraculous relief.
Before you dismiss this as some "new-age" fad, you
may like to know that this treatment has existed for centuries but
only in the 'esoteric' yoga traditions. Only recently, has it caught
the fancy of the Western world…. And in what a way!! (read -
Testimonials).
The best part is that, unlike medications that
invariably have harmful side effects, Neti only has Positive
Effects. In the yoga tradition, Neti is beneficial for mental
health and for developing higher states of awareness. In fact, sinus
health is only an incidental benefit!! Read
Articles on Neti.
Moreover, medication CANNOT be taken until the
allergy or infection actually occurs and by then it is too
late. By contrast, Neti is an excellent preventive and promotes
all round health - a powerful feature of holistic treatments.
