Do you have Sinus Infection Symptoms?Written by Mike Nielsen
You've heard saying, "No pain, no gain" but for many of us who have experienced tremendous, annoying pain associated with having a sinus infection, I am sure you feel as I do; there isn't anything that I can gain or want to gain from having a sinus infection. Most of us have all experienced pain and pressure in our head and face that only seems to get worse before it gets better. In following article I will be talking about what causes sinus infections, some general sinus infection symptoms, where sinus infections occur, and some possible remedies to treating your sinus infection symptoms.What causes sinus infection symptoms? First of all we need to know what sinuses are. The sinuses are hollow packets of air located on either side of nose, behind and in-between eyes, and in forehead. The sinuses produce mucus that cleans and moistens membranes of nose and throat. Each sinus has an opening into nose that allows for free exchange of mucus and air. Sinus infection symptoms are result of inflammation and blockage of openings. The mucus and pressure then build in sinuses creating a perfect breading ground for bacteria. Sinus infection symptoms generally follow a cold or some other respiratory illness. For someone who suffers from allergies they can also be caused by an allergic reaction. Other causes include: blowing nose too hard, not completely treating first sinus infection, or frequent swimming. General sinus infection symptoms: • Headache • Pain • Upper jaw and tooth ache • Tenderness around nose, forehead and cheeks • Swelling and pressure around eyes • Ear ache and infection • Fever • Weakness or fatigue • A cough, runny nose or nasal congestion • Bad breath • Snoring Other symptoms can include: • Nasal sounding speech

Not sure what to look for when choosing cosmetics? Need some advice on taking care of your skin? Here are eight tips to help your skin look and feel its best.1)Select moisturizers made with vegetable oils. The lotions, creams and body oils that you use should be made with vegetable oils, not mineral oil. Vegetable oils, (like olive oil, sweet almond oil, corn oil, etc.) contain fatty acids which help to moisturize and soften skin. Mineral oil is derived from petroleum and does not contain anything that helps to nourish skin. 2)Look for herbs and herbal derivatives in your cosmetics. Herbs and their derivatives (essential oils, extracts, infusions) contain natural chemicals which soothe, tone and help condition skin. Two herbs which are especially useful in natural cosmetics are Lavender and Tea tree. The essential oils of both lavender and tea tree are gentle, natural antiseptics. 3)Once a week soak your feet in warm water, and gently exfoliate dead skin with a pumice stone. Follow up by moisturizing your feet with a natural foot oil or foot lotion.
