Cure Sinus Infection with… Vitamins!

The Hunzas, Maoris and inhabitants of Fiji, Hawaii and Samoa are incredibly fit, thanks to the food they eat which is loaded with the BIG V – VITAMINS. Nature ensures us a plentiful supply of vitamins but due to our lifestyle we are eating more processed foods which lack the vitality of raw foods. How to cure sinus infection using VITAMINS – get to know your vitamins and what they can do to cure sinus infection.

VITAMIN A Vitamin A combined with Vitamin D helps to build up resistance against winter’s colds. You can get vitamin A from fish oils, eggs, cheese, dairy products, liver, apricots, spinach, broccoli, deep green leafy vegetables and carrots.

How to test whether you have enough Vitamin A:

1. Clench your fist tightly
2. Open out quickly
3. Before the blood can suffused back into the tissues, you can see a yellow pigment just beneath the skin. If you this temporary yellow hue is not visible, you might not be getting enough Vitamin A. How to cure sinus infection – load your fridge with these foods.

VITAMIN B2 (RIBOFLAVINE) If you lack this vitamin, may cause watery, bloodshot itching eyes and highly sensitive to light and you are also likely to catch the influenza germs. Vitamin B2 can be found in brewer’s yeast, asparagus, cheese, almonds, liver, milk, broccoli, chicken and green leafy vegetables. Another great vitamin on how to cure sinus infection.

VITAMIN C Everyone knows this vitamin but consume most little. It is the most unstable of all vitamins, easily lost by heat, water and oxygen. When you are having an allergy like asthma, sinus or bronchitis, Vitamin C is at the tops on how to cure sinus infection. Sources are citrus fruits, leafy green vegetables, cabbages, potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, papaya, blackcurrants and grapes.

If you notice broccoli seems to be a good source for all the above vitamins – so how to cure sinus infection – eat loads of broccoli!!

There are other vitamins which you can take to know how to cure sinus infection and I cannot finish writing them in this article.

If you are the person who is a fast jet-setter and do not have the time to cook yourself a hot meal, you can think of supplements but ensure that you choose a company which is reputable and of quality.

The substances can be anything from dust to flower’s pollen. The symptoms include pressure in upper part of face, toothache, nasal congestion, postnasal drip and allergy. The symptoms last for months and even for years. It is not difficult to treat this ailment. Proper intake of medicines and natural remedies can heal the infection fast.

Sufferers should consult a specialized doctor for the right kind of treatment. Certain tests like x-ray, CT scans, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are recommended to find out the exact problem. Antibiotics can be prescribed that should be taken for 2-3 weeks regularly. Besides this, nasal sprays and decongestants are also suggested to unblock the sinus passages. If antibiotics and other treatments fail to cure then surgery could be the last and best option. The surgery generally takes one or two hours to get rid of chronic problems of sinusitis.

Other than clinical treatments traditional or homemade remedies are also excellent to heal infection. Application of hot packs on the sinus pain areas is one of the best remedies. It increases the circulation of sinuses and the movement of cilia. Also, drink hot water and other hydrating beverages. These intakes lighten the urine color and moist the mucous membrane. Also, it flushes out the mass production of mucus from sinuses. These are few homemade treatments that can effectively work over chronic sinusitis.

Some other home remedies are – put some drops of eucalyptus, peppermint or menthol oil in hot boiling water and inhale the coming vapors. It opens up the nasal passages and cures the infection quickly.

A chronic sinusitis person should also take complete bed rest without stressing their mind when the pain is high or the ailment is at its peak. Also, try to make your room neat and tidy so that it can bargain the open entry of dust and other harmful particles.

Certain preventive measures should be taken so that chronic sinusitis cannot affect in future. Sufferers have to stop smoking or avoid smoky areas, stay well-hydrated and in full vaccination. Always take care that you cure chronic sinusitis from its roots so that it would not affect the diseased person again.

When someone asks me How to treat Sinus, then I simple say them do not use these treatments, they will just increase your sinus pain.
