SINUSITIS – BREATHE FREELY AGAIN
Rhinitis, or the common cold, is a viral infection. Transmission of the pathogens is via the air we breathe, usually by droplet infection. Whether or not we come down with a cold depends mainly on the performance of our immune system at that time.
SINUSITIS
Acute sinusitis (inflammation of the paranasal cavities) typically develops from a cold or sore throat. Bacteria or viruses may find their way into the sinuses. If they do, they will usually cause inflammation of the sinuses in the region of the upper jaw, nose and/or forehead. The swollen mucous membranes impede the necessary flow of secretions, causing pressure, pain or tenderness in these regions. Nasal breathing is impaired as well. Patients often also experience headache, especially when lowering the head.
Use SINUPAS™ to relieve sinusitis symptoms and activate the self healing powers of your body.
