by: Paul Hood

Bothered by your sinuses? You are not alone. An estimated 15% of people in America suffer from sinus infections. Treating this disorder should be a priority as it has been found out to have a significant effect on worker productivity and school performance on an individual level.
Our sinuses are hollow spaces in our facial bones designed to help moisturize the air we breathe. Each of these is connected with an opening to the nose that serves as a catalyst for the exchange of air and mucus. Problem arises when these sinuses get plugged trapping mucus inside with these serving as possible breeding grounds for harmful microorganisms particularly viruses, fungi and bacteria which are considered as main culprits of this disorder. Sinus infections may also be triggered by the common cold.
The symptoms of sinusitis may include fever, weakness, tiredness, coughing that is more severe at night and runny nose or nasal congestion. It may also include bad breathe, green nasal discharge and pressure or a headache in the eyes, nose or cheek area.
To remedy this aggravating infection, we can turn to natural alternatives to healing to give us our very much needed relief. Aside from being cheap and safe, it also is an effective way to counter sinus infections.
Many ways have been devised to seek relief from this menace. For one, you can inhale steam to unclog your sinuses. Add a drop of lavender or eucalyptus oil in a pot of water to help make the release of trapped mucus faster. I myself have had an episode like this but thanks to steam, Iâ€™m now breathing fine. You can also resort to massaging particular spots in your face to stimulate quick relief from facial pains. Eating spicy foods is a surefire way to get those trapped mucus down the drain. There still are a numerous ways to combat sinus infections. A consultation with your naturopath (trained specialists in a separate and distinct healing art which uses non-invasive natural medicine) will provide you a diagnosis of your ailment and give you a custom-made mode of treatment that is most appropriate for you.
More and more treatments may be devised but nothing beats a strong immune system. A well-maintained body is a natural fortress that will shield you from any disorder. Keep your body healthy by having adequate amounts of sleep and a good diet to keep your immune system at an optimal state. Keep your surroundings clean and free from possible allergens that can cause sinus infections and other diseases.
