Sinus infection: Beware!Written by Marlon D. Ludovice
Do you feel pain over your cheeks and upper teeth, pain in forehead, above eyebrow, pain behind eyes or on top of head? Well don’t just relax and disregard these symptoms because you might have a sinus problem that may result form a serious sinus infection!According to medical study, Sinusitis is an infection or inflammation of mucous membranes that line inside of nose and sinuses. Sinuses are hollow spaces, or cavities, located around your eyes, cheeks, and nose. Studies shows that when a mucous membrane becomes inflamed, it enlarge, blocking passage way of fluid from sinuses into nose and throat, which causes pressure and pain in sinuses. Due to pain it gives to patient, commonly difficulties in draining sinuses transpire. Thus, bacteria and fungus are more likely to grow in sinuses that are unable to drain properly causing a more serious sinus infection. What are common symptoms of a sinusitis and how can we avoid it? Typically symptoms of bacterial sinusitis include sinus congestion, sinus discharge, sinus pressure, and facial pain or headaches from sinus pressure. However, a common fault of many sufferers was they do not recognize that they are experiencing bacterial sinusitis and confuse their symptoms with cold symptoms. Thus, they ignore to seek proper diagnosis or treatment believing it was only a typical cold.

Why Detoxify? Have you been hearing about detoxification more often? That's because we are now recognizing and appreciating that our bodies are not just separate parts, but a connected system which must be in "balance" if we are to feel and be well.So what is detoxifying? Well, it is an internal cleansing of toxins, from our bodies. These are toxins that we either produce, ingests or absorb. Our bodies produce toxins as it goes about it's regular daily functioning and when our system is working properly these toxins will be eliminated efficiently. But very few of us have systems that are so well balanced, anymore. We are not eating properly, we don't get enough rest or exercise. So, our bodies don't function as smoothly as they should. We absorb toxins from air as we breathe in pollutants from chemicals. Normally body can neutralize and eliminate these. But as levels of these toxins get increasingly higher, our bodies become over-whelmed and can no longer keep up. This is why we detoxify! Detoxification is a process and can be a gentle cleansing or a more rigorous therapy, where many foods are completely avoided over a long period of time. The detoxifying program you would choose would depend for most part on condition of your elimination system and your ove-rall health. You should get advice and support of a Doctor or Naturopath. Most of us know when we need to detoxify, even if we don't put a name to it. We just don't feel "ourselves"! We get that hazy, lack of focus, fatigued, sluggish, blocked, over-all rundown feeling.
