Drippy - runny noses - water eyes - headaches - Most Americans will experience some level of allergies (usually hay fever) or sinusitis. Not exactly the best time of our lives.
Now there is an effective natural remedy designed to work against both allergies and sinusitis - and to assist your body in overcoming weakness to seasonal allergies.
Sinusitis is a common problem affects approximately 3 out of 1,000 people, and develops in approximately 31 million Americans alone each year. It usually follows respiratory infections, such as colds.
Sinusitis typically follows an upper respiratory infection or allergic reaction, which can cause inflammation and swelling that closes off the sinus ostia. This encourages mucous accumulation in the sinuses, and makes the sinus a great place for bacteria and fungus to live and grow rapidly. Individuals with weakened immune systems are at greatest risk, since their risk of any infection is high.
While the most frequent cause of sinusitis is upper respiratory tract infections (common colds) or allergic rhinitis, other risk factors include: history of asthma; overuse of nasal decongestants; deviated nasal septum; nasal bone spurs; nasal or facial tumors; nasal polyps; foreign bodies; frequent swimming and/or diving; and dental work. Typically, these all cause blockages of the sinus ostia, and are the result of problems that affect the nasal area only.
Diseases that are considered systemic (affecting the whole body) typically render individuals immunosuppressed and, in turn, at increased risk for infection. Remember, these diseases predispose individuals to develop sinusitis because they make the sinuses a better place for infectious organisms, especially bacteria, to grow.
Allergies, on the other hand, are due to a heightened immune response. The system over-reacts to allergens. These may be from hay fever, food allergies, drug allergies, or allergies to mold, dander and dust.
Sinu-Quest is designed for hay fever, sinusitis, and allergies to mold, dander and dust.
Common symptoms include:
* Itchy nose and throat
* Cough
* Mucus production
* WheezingPeople have told us that Sinu-Quest helps stop hay fever, mitigate allergic reactions of all types, and even helps shrink nasal polyps.
ECHINACEA - One of the most outstanding herbs for the immune system is Echinacea angustifolia. Studies in Europe and America have shown that the chemical compounds in Echinacea have anti-inflammatory action while stimulating wound healing. Echinacea has also been shown to stimulate of white blood cells, and lymphocytes making it effective against viral and bacterial Infections. Echinacea is effective internally or externally having no side effects:
HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS - Goldenseal is used in the treatment of congestion and chronic inflammation of the respiratory and urogenital tracts. Golden seal also strengthens the immune system.
SILYMARIN - 80% standardized extract from milk thistle. The focus of repeated studies involving liver repair and regeneration. Silymarin prevents liver damage by acting as an antioxidant, counteracting free radicals and leukotrienes, highly reactive molecules that can destroy cell structures. The most interesting effect of this nontoxic herb is silymarin's ability to stimulate protein synthesis thereby increasing the production of new liver cells to replace damaged old cells. Studies have shown positive results in treating liver disease including cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, and cholestasis.
PROPOLIS - A substance that is not herbal but rather the result of herbal synthesis Is Propolis. Propolis is the anti-viral/anti-bacterial compound made by bees to protect the hive. Studies have shown propolis to have significant antibiotic properties having a marked effect on Strep, Staph, and E. Coll bacteria. Analysis has determined that it contains several flavonoids and trace minerals. Flavonoids are compounds found in plants that protect them from stress. Flavonoids seem to work the same way in our bodies by helping connective tissue heal, preventing free radical damage and inflammation of the tissues. Many dentists are using propolis tincture as an alternative to antibiotics for minor dental surgery finding that propolis has an affinity for the gums and soft tissues of the mouth.
