Home Remedies for Sinuses are Endorsed and Effective

Home remedies for sinus problems are a bit like comfort food. You opt for them when things are bleak or painful or both. And while you might not scare up much research to support the health value of tucking into a chicken cutlet with mashed potatoes, doctors are increasingly giving props to ways we can ease sinus pain with such practical remedies as saltwater nasal sprays and warm compresses.

Need a big name? Mayo Clinic endorsed saltwater sprays and warm compresses in its October 2008 health newsletter for women, just in time for the cold and flu season. Truth? Grandma knows more about comfort than even Mayo when sinuses are inflamed and dropping us for a loss.

But Mayo is good at explained how a cold turns into sinus pain and, even worse, chronic sinus pain: “Sinusitis often begins when a cold, which is caused by a virus, then leads to inflammation in the lining of the sinuses. Sometimes, this leads to a bacterial infection, which then creates a longer bout of sinusitis -- lasting longer than 10 to 14 days.”

    Some hard and true facts about scars. Scars occur when the thick layer of our skin (the dermis layer) is damaged. However,

    scars need not be permanent. Research has confirmed that the MOST EFFECTIVE way to reduce scar is actually applying

    CONCENTRATED Vitamin E to the skin to increase collagen and nourish the skin.

    Using other methods eg. Chemicals, surgery and others do not work. Those may seem faster BUT short term solutions with lots

    of side effects!!! Try and GET hold of some serum with very very high concentrated Vitamin E. Doesn't matter which brand as

    long as it contains natural Vitamin E. Most products will not have high Vitamin E because the ingredient is expensive.

    If you need a suggestion, one product I tried recently that works is Natur E which you can find at

    www.scarremovaltreatment.net. Let me know if it does work for you.
