The symptoms of sinus allergies can be greatly relieved provided these proven natural treatments and remedies are used.
When the body over reacts to substances which are ordinarily harmful such as pollen, mold etc. (allergens) this is termed an allergy. An allergy is an immune system disorder.
Allergens cause the activation of a certain type of antibody known as IgE. This antibody triggers the release of certain chemicals from cells in your nose such as histamine, resulting in an extreme inflammatory response and the associated sinus allergy symptoms. The main causes of allergies are as follows;- hereditary (runs in the family), race, sex (boys have a higher risk of developing an allergy than girls) age, alteration in exposure to infectious diseases during early childhood, environmental pollutants, allergen levels and dietary changes.
Sinus allergy symptoms result from the nasal passages becoming inflamed after breathing in allergens such as pollen, dust, mold etc. The varied symptoms are;- blocked nasal passages, runny nose, itching and sneezing, post nasal drip, sore ears, sore throat, snoring and disturbed sleep, loss/poor sense of smell, headaches and inability to concentrate.
The following natural treatments have helped many sinus allergy sufferers and are extremely effective.
Natural nasal sprays – SinuSoothe in particular is doctor recommended and contains natural ingredients which relieve inflammation, nasal congestion, sinus pain, headaches, removes airborne irritants etc. SinuSoothe contains natural anti-histamines that relieve a runny, itchy nose and sneezing etc. and desensitizes the nasal passages to allergens. It also removes airborne allergens. SinuSoothe can be used long term, is non – addictive and has no side effects. It provides not only a ‘quick fix’ but also a long term solution for sinusitis sufferers.
Sterimar saline nasal spray – This in particular is useful at removing airborne allergens and relieving nasal congestion. It improves sinus drainage and comes in isotonic or hypertonic solutions. It does not reduce histamine or desensitize the nasal passages to allergens. Sterimar is completely safe and non-addictive.
Irrigation of the nasal passages – A saline solution is administered to the sinuses using a neti pot or some other similar device. This saline solution can vary in salt content and can be either isotonic or hypertonic. Hypertonic solutions may be more useful at relieving nasal congestion. The purpose of nasal irrigation is to clean out allergens and excess mucus from the sinuses and improve sinus drainage.
Natural anti-histamines – Quercetin and butterbur can be just as effective as OTC anti-histamines but without their side effects. Stinging nettle can also reduce allergic reactions. Your local health food store should be able to advise you on these and others. It usually takes about 4 weeks for these to start taking effect.
Reduce inflammation – Natural anti-inflammatories such as omega oils, turmeric and ginger can be just as effective as Ibuprofen etc. but without the side effects. By reducing inflammation in the sinuses you will reduce the symptoms of sinus allergioes
Nasal barriers – For hay fever sufferers special gels can be applied inside the nostrils to catch pollen.
Improving immune system – Eating a nutritional diet and supplementing with the essential vitamins and minerals is essential to having a strong immune system. Vitamin C. B complex, garlic, zinc, multi-vitamins etc. can all be found at health stores and can be beneficial. Thes combined with proper sleep, relaxation and exercise can help regulate the allergy response.
Preventative measures – Various preventative measures can also be taken such as staying indoors when the pollen count is high, choosing hardwood and laminate flooring etc.
Before using new treatments please speak with a doctor first.
