[size=4][b]Canine Sinusitis Treatment - Book Review of "Sinus Relief Now" by Dr. Jordan Josephson- Part 1[/b][/size][hr]When I first started seeing an ENT specialist years ago for my sinus problems, I purchased a couple of books on the subject of sinusitis. When I mentioned this to my doctor and asked a couple of questions that showed a bit more knowledge of the subject than most people had, he frowned and had a worried look on his face. He then commented that having only 'a little bit of knowledge was dangerous'. I therefore appreciated the comments by Dr. Josephson in his new book entitled 'Sinus Relief Now- The Groundbreaking 5 Step Program for Sinus, Allergy, and Asthma Sufferers'. He stated: 'If your physician responds negatively to your newfound knowledge or is obviously uncomfortable working with a patient who is well educated about his or her disease, it's another clear signal that it's time to move on' (and find another doctor). I wish I had had this advice at that time, as the doctor eventually performed my first sinus surgery, caused me immense pain, and he didn't improve my situation at all.

[size=large][b]Should be Mentioned At this Point that Dr[/b][/size][hr]Josephson is a well known and highly regarded ENT specialist and surgeon. He has several times been on New York magazine's 'Best Doctors' list. He has been an expert commentator on many local and national television programs, and he is the Director of the New York Nasal and Sinus Center. I personally believe this book should be part of the home library of anyone who suffers from what Dr. Josephson calls CAID, or Chronic Airway-Digestive Inflammatory Disease.

[size=large][b]One Point is Made Clear Throughout the Book:[/b][/size][hr]Like high blood pressure, sinus disease cannot be 'cured' in the sense that it is gone once and for all, but it can only be controlled. But with this awareness and being knowledgeable about one's problem, it is possible to control these health issues, and one can improve his or her life and not be forced to 'just live with it'. Reading all this about Sinus Relief is sure to help you get a better understanding of Sinus Relief. So make full use of the information we have provided here.

Quote:Dr. Josephson says that smokers with CAID problems simply must quit. He has some appreciation of the difficulty of quitting, however, and offers some guidelines for that as well. We did not write too elaborate an article on Sinus Relief as it would be then difficult for the common man to read it. We have written this article in such a way that everyone will be able to read and understand it!

Dr. Josephson is a surgeon, and he pushes for a very conservative approach regarding turbinates. In the past many surgeons routinely cut out parts or even most of the turbinates in people. In recent years it is becoming apparent that this can have disastrous effects on patients over time, and there are many horror stories to read at the forum of the ENS Association web site. ENS stands for Empty Nose Syndrome, which is the term coined for this condition.

The U.S. alone this includes about 70 million people who suffer from sinus disease, asthma, allergies, reflux diseases GERD and LRPD, as well as sleep problems like snoring and sleep apnea. Dr. Josephson believes that all these problems can be related for the simple reason that they all are associated with parts of the body which are directly connected together in the upper and lower respiratory and digestive systems. This is an interesting concept and is explained clearly and thoroughly in the early chapters of the book. Dr. Josephson discusses the symptoms of all these maladies and then offers a CAID test, which helps the reader understand which branch of CAID is causing his problems. He explains symptoms and possible treatment options in great detail for the various 'limbs' of CAID, sinus disease, allergies, asthma, GERD and LPRD, and sleep disorders such as snoring and sleep apnea. Thinking of what to do upon reading this article on Chronic Sinus? Well you can very well use the information constructively by imparting it to others. Wink

Dr. Josephson strongly emphasizes the use of nasal irrigation. He uses a sinus irrigation device every day, as do I. He also talks about using a neti pot for sinus irrigation, but I've used both and find the irrigator much more effective. I personally would not even recommend the neti pot method.

[list][*]Sinusitis is an infection of the mucous membranes lining the sinuses, which are present in and around the face.[*]Sinusitis may be acute or chronic.[*]Acute sinusitis may improve on its own, but chronic sinusitis usually requires treatment.[/list]

For recurrent sinusitis, Ayurvedic compounds like Laghu Malini Vasant, Madhu Malini Vasant and Suvarna Malini Vasant are used along with Pippali (Piper longum). A special preparation called Chausashtha Pippali is used in a gradually increasing dose, followed by a gradually decreasing dose. Sometimes, several courses of these medicines are required. We were actually wondering how to get about to writing about Acute Sinusitis. However once we started writing, the words just seemed to flow continuously!

[size=large][b]Several Ayurvedic Formulations are Used for the Treatment of Sinusitis[/b][/size][hr]Tribhuvankirti, Sitopaladi, Godanti Bhasma, Yashtimadhuk (Glycerrhiza glabra), Bhallatak Parpati, Shrung Bhasma and Sanjeevani vati are some of the well known compounds. Sookshma Triphala, Chaturbhuj Ras, and Gandhak Rasayan are used for symptoms like fever and inflammation. Most patients get significant relief in a period of two to six weeks.

[size=large][b]Sinusitis is Termed as "Dushta Pratishyaya" or "Peenas" in Ayurveda[/b][/size][hr]Ayurvedic treatment is effective in both the acute and chronic types of sinusitis. Do not judge a book by its cover; so don't just scan through this matter on Sinuses. read it thoroughly to judge its value and importance.

He has published his findings of herbal treatment of HIV / AIDS in 55 patients in the Bombay Hospital Journal, Mumbai, India, July 2005 issue. It is with much interest that we got about to write on Sinus. So we do hope that you too read this article with the same, if not more interest!

He is available as an online Ayurvedic Consultant at ***** ghee containing Chafa (Michelia champaka), Dadim (Pomegranate) flowers, Sabja (Canna edulus) leaves, Kanher (Nerium indicum) leaves, Durva (Cynodon dactylon), Haridra (turmeric) and Keshar (Crocus sativus) is used as nasal drop for obtaining immediate relief from symptoms.

Daily process of applying medicated nasal drops such as Anu oil or Panchendriya vardhan oil (known as "Pratimarsha Nasya") is believed to prevent frequent occurrence of sinusitis. In addition, breathing exercises like Yogic Pranayam, and special procedures like the Yogic Neti, are also very useful. It is advisable to avoid known aggravating factors. It is rather interesting to note that people like reading about Sinus Inflammation if they are presented in an easy and clear way. The presentation of an article too is important for one to entice people to read it!

Oral medication is advised of ghee treated with Haridra (turmeric), Musta (Cyperus rotundus), Vishwa (Zinziber officinale), Karanj (Pongamia pinnata), Renukabeej (Vitex negundo), and Yava-Kshar.

Victims of chronic Sinus Congestion may have the following symptoms for 12 weeks or more: facial pain/pressure, facial congestion/fullness, nasal obstruction/blockage, thick nasal discharge/discolored post-nasal drainage, pus in the nasal cavity, and at times, fever. They may also have headache, bad breath, and fatigue. Typically this condition is the result of several causes combined. While you can't necessarily eliminate the causes, you can be proactive about natural sinus relief solutions and take a few preventative measures that will decrease the occurrence of sinus congestion. :o.

[list][*]There are numerous reasons why you should combine steam inhalation and eucalyptus ingredients to treat sinus problems naturally.[*]Eucalyptus essential oil is probably the most effective of all sinus infection remedies.[*]Researchers also discovered the highly concentrated extract of eucalyptus called Cineole is a powerful antiseptic properties.[*]This convenient remedy will break up mucus congestion and improve drainage, thus eliminating the block and relieving pressure.[*]This will also soothe inflammation, which will ease sinus pain and provide effective natural sinus relief.[*]We cannot be blamed if you find any other article resembling the matter we have written here about Sinus Relief.[*]What we have done here is our copyright material![/list]

Many people seek natural sinus relief because they react poorly to the ingredients in decongestant and antihistamine medications. Why? Because usually decongestant nasal sprays should only be used for short periods of time, or they can make congestion worse. Using decongestants when you have an upper respiratory infection may reduce your risk of developing sinusitis. It was our decision to write so much on Chronic Sinus after finding out that there is still so much to learn on Chronic Sinus.

[size=large][b]However, Allergies can Cause Sinus Congestion, Which can Lead to Headache Pain[/b][/size][hr]If you have allergies, the treatment for your allergy will not relieve your headache pain. Some sinus congestion is caused by food allergies. Milk and wheat are both common sinus offenders that cause allergic reactions and boost mucus production. Generally, a sinusitis condition causes nasal congestion and facial pain and pressure, will last more than ten days, and could also cause a thick yellow green mucus discharge, requiring sinus infection treatment. We have included some fresh and interesting information on Sinus. In this way, you are updated on the developments of Sinus. Big Grin.

Sinus congestion is harmful but if you take care of it in a proper manner you can easily get rid of it. One of the simple natural sinus relief without any side effects that you can do at home is using a steam inhalation. You should inhale steam vapors periodically. It is very helpful to steep some eucalyptus in a large pot of boiling water and use as an inhalant to unblock nasal passages. Add a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil at the bottom of a large bowl and carefully fill it with steaming hot water at least three to four times a day for 2-3 minutes. Quickly put a towel over your head and carefully lean over the bowl to breathe in the vapors. It may take some time to comprehend the matter on Sinus Infection Treatment that we have listed here. However, it is only through it's complete comprehension would you get the right picture of Sinus Infection Treatment. Wink

Antihistamines can be effective for treatment of allergy but when it comes to sinus drainage, the medication actually thicken the mucus, hampering sinus drainage and could lead to an infection. We are proud to say we have dominance in the say of Sinus Congestion. This is because we have read vastly and extensively on Sinus Congestion.

[size=large][b]When We Talk of Sinus Cold We Mean that Cold Along With Sinus Infection[/b][/size][hr]Or the sinuses infected due to the cold attack. If you ask 'how to get rid of a sinus cold?' I would like to answer you some remedies but before that its necessary that we realize the problem and find effective treatments for it. Lets make a systematic approach to understand the problem and find out various treatments for all the symptoms associated with sinus cold.

[size=large][b]Another Prominent Attack During Cold is Headache[/b][/size][hr]In sever pain one becomes restlessness and asks, 'How to get rid of a sinus cold and headache?'. The headache can be treated with over the counter medications (analgesics like aspirin). Since they are chemical filled drugs try to avoid them till you feel that you cannot control more or the home therapeutic treatments like hot pat, rest and hot beverages are not giving any kind of relief. :o.

[list][*]Your question, "How to get rid of a sinus cold?" has to deal with symptoms like like running nose, head ache, inflammation and alike.[*]To get rid of running nose one off course cannot help that much because there are practically no medications to stop running nose.[*]But you can prefer taking food which help in thickening mucuses like wheat, milk, cheese and others.[*]Cold sinusitis may be treated with medications by doctors but you can also treat the ailment in your home.[*]The curing process by home treatments are found to be more effective than normal medications.[*]Here things become contradictory.[*]For cold it becomes essential to thicken your mucus while for sinus it is necessary to thin your mucus.[*]We have not included any imaginary or false information on Sinus Infection here.[*]Everything here is true and up to the mark![/list]

[size=large][b]Your Question 'How to Get Rid of a Sinus Cold?' Has Some Complex Angles[/b][/size][hr]Its asking both the treatment of cold and sinus? Now usually sinus infections are caused due to bacteria or other problems. But during cold you have viral infections. And hence along with cold symptoms you will also suffer from sinusitis symptoms. The overall treatment of this condition depends on the nature of symptoms. If its cold there is no use of taking antibiotics for your sinus, because you have viral attack and due to cold the sinuses have been some how infected. But to get rid of nasal congestion and other pain due to sinusitis the doctors may prescribe decongestants and inflammatory drugs like corticosteroids.

[list][*]The answers to the question, 'How to get rid of a sinus cold?' and contradiction can be found more easily within home.[*]You can take hot tea, lemon juice, hot water bath, inhalation of eucalyptus oil vapors in hot water and many more to cure your cold sinusitis.[*]Introduction: Before trying to figure out the chronic sinusitis symptoms we should first understand what chronic sinus means.[*]Well, sinuses are cavities located in some parts of the skull, i.e., in the cheek bones.[*]These cavities contain air.[*]They help in moistening, filtering and warming the air.[*]When an inflammation occurs in the sinuses then it is called as sinusitis.

However, if the patients do not respond to these treatments and the doctors' suspect that it may be due to anatomical cause then they may need to undergo surgery. There has been a gradual introduction to the world of Sinuses projected in this article. We had done this so that the actual meaning of the article will sink within you.

[list][*]Before knowing about the symptoms of chronic sinus, it is prudent to know about the causes of it.[*]Nasal infection is one of the most common causes that lead to sinusitis.[*]Dental infections, dust and smoke pollution, deviated nasal septum are some of the other causes of chronic sinusitis.[*]You have been suffering from cold for more than seven days and it shows no sign of receding then you may probably be suffering from sinusitis.[*]Chronic sinusitis symptoms: We were a bit tentative when embarking on this project on Sinuses Cavities.[*]However, using the grit and determination we have, we have produced some fine reading material on Sinuses Cavities.[/list]

Your doctor diagnoses that you are in fact suffering from chronic sinusitis, he/she may prescribe antibiotics, analgesics to relieve you of the pain that you may be suffering from, nasal decongestants and inhalation of steam through vaporizers. In extreme cases, doctors may prescribe oral steroids. But use of oral steroids are said to have side effects and must be avoided. Using the intuition I had on Sinusitis Symptoms, I thought that writing this article would indeed be worth the trouble. Most of the relevant information on Sinusitis Symptoms has been included here.

Fever, cold, running nose, severe headaches, puffy face, nasal discharge are the main symptoms that you need to watch out for if you suspect that you are suffering from chronic sinusitis. An idle brain, is a devil's workshop they say. Using this ideology in mind, we ventured to write on Nasal Infection, so that something productive would be achieved of our minds.
