Natural Ways to Address Sinus Problems, Sinusitis, Allergies, Headaches and Lymphatic Congestion
A
common complaint of my clients this season is sinus congestion, running
noses, plugged ears, sinus headaches, swollen glands in the neck and a
general feeling of stuffy and puffiness in the head.
Sinus
congestion happens when our mucous flushing system is shut down and
becomes blocked. This can occur when we develop a cold, an allergy or
if there is an obstruction or swelling in the drainage passages. Mucous
production never slows down and in fact sometimes the immune systems
speeds up by producing more mucous to rid the body of toxins, bacterial
and viral invasions. The net result in a build up of pressure in the
sinus cavities. The body responds to infection by increasing the fluid
and white blood cells, into the sinuses, to fight the infection. This
accelerates and exacerbates the problem.
It becomes very
important for treatment and prevention to address the lymph nodes and
lymphatic system to help clear sinuses of blockages. Lymph nodes share
teh same stuffiness and pain associated with sinus blockages as our
sinuses and are in need of decongestant therapies.
Natural
therapies for allergies involve sinus flushing and support the immune
system. Keeping the lymphatic system moving and decongested is a key
ingredient for long term health. Often clients come in during allergy
and flu season for maintenance treatments. Along with their Neti pot
therapies at home and herbal remedies, an hour of Lymphatic therapy has
helped many fight this dreaded season. Many have noted going a whole
year without any chronic sinusitis or developing any type of sinus
infection or upper respiratory infection.
Lymphatic therapy reduces sinus congestion and
lymphatic congestion within minutes of treatment.
A
specific Sinus and Lymph Drainage protocol is utilized for clients
presenting with sinus problems, sinus congestion, headaches, allergies,
pressure in the head, chronic upper respiratory infections and other
indicators of a congested lymphatic system.
