As Everyone would realize by now, every Now and Then I hear something,
See something and Learn something which I didn’t know,
This time It’s NONE different either!
If I can Remember Correctly,
I heard this over the Radio and Was wondering just How Possible this could be.
So, here’s what I found and just what Impact this could have on Either,
Your Sinuses
OR
Your Teeth!
Although on This one I cannot tell you how Regular this is;
But most or any Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist would tell you –
As far as I know, Your Eyes, Nose, and Ears are linked… in some ways…
Now, this one, May be a TALL Tale,
But I’ve heard Many years ago that someone – Hence, not sure;
Would have died when this Person was Smothered with a Pillow,
Their Connections was active enough, they could barely breathe enough through the Connection to their Ears and Survived the Attack on them…
NOT entirely sure… about this one!
Yet, the connection and tubes between the Sinuses and your Teeth had been Documented.
To such an Extent that when You’ve got issues with Your Sinuses,
This could affect your Teeth, making you believe that You need to visit the Dentist.
Your Maxillary Sinuses are right above your Molar Teeth Roots…
Especially when there’s Pressure on your Teeth’s nerve endings, which also could feel like toothache when it’s not really your Teeth at fault.
The same can be said as well,
When You’ve got an Irritation or even an Infection within your Teeth,
Because your Sinuses are so closely located,
This Infection can affect your Sinuses and most of the time Block them,
Creating a Double Impact on You; feeling awful…
You may ask why do we Need Sinuses –
Which I can tell you I asked that Same question when I started reading up on this…
So here it comes,
We breathe Mostly through our noses as either we don’t Speak OR Concentrate on work OR do something additional.
THUS, not only does the Hairs in your Nose Tracts catch dust but as well as the Sinuses generate Mucus.
OH, my Goodness – You’d say; HOW awful!
This is done to Actually warm-up your Breath when Inhaled.
Within the Mucus, there are chemicals which affect the Foreign bacteria trying to Enter your body via your Nose and dislodge the possible Bacterial molecules.
With the help of Your Nose hairs, not only do the Dust get moved but as well;
Pollutants,
Other bacteria,
And viruses are caught and moved to the back of Your throat.
They’re then deposited into the Stomach.
There’s a Brilliant name for this function – Mucociliary Clearance… Imagine that one!
The stomach acid destroys the foreign parts, which is part of your Bodies’ defense mechanism in keeping you healthy.
The ONLY issue would be, when there’s a problem, infections or you’ve got a Virus; the body’s already fighting against.
The tubes are blocked and movement of the bad particles take longer to get destroyed and you can ALMOST feel the Onset of a Cold or something more than that…
If you don’t go to a Doctor in dealing with the Sinusitis OR a Dentist in seeing about your Teeth;
There are a few things you can use or do, helping yourself out.
- Drink lots of fluids and or use Steam:
Water helps with a number of Body functions and helps with the Sinuses, smoothing out the mucus and helps with drainage. Thus keep hydrated and as well, get additional Electrolytes, they’re very helpful – ones important would be, Magnesium, Potassium, and Sodium to acquire additional. These help with your bodies’ immune system as well.
- Most people will not like this – but eat some Spicy Foods:
You do not need to Burn yourself into another Blood-group; look only for something a little stronger than usual. Something like Horseradish or some Chili Peppers, even use a bit more Pepper on your food if you are willing to go that way. The properties within the warmer food can unblock the Sinuses to the point you can almost feel them free-up; Just remember it’s not a Permanent fix and You’ll have to deal with problem…
- Use an expectorant:
You can buy some medicines over the Counter, helping you to elevate the Symptoms of the Sinusitis – some would work fast and you’d feel it over a short period of time. Others may work in a Different way and be SURE to Read the instructions. Some of the Medicines dry up the Mucus in the Sinuses – but I’ve heard that if and when the Sinuses are burnt in this way, it can even Worsen the Sinus issue, thus be really Careful, not to worsen your Predicament.
ALWAYS speak to your Doctor about Medicines, it could have an Allergic reaction to you, something You may not Realize, but may affect you in the Long-run.
- Hummmm… Yourself to sleep… Okay? ;-}
I do understand to Vibrate the Sinuses loose and hope things goes better from there, but I’ve never done this before myself. I cannot say for Any kind of Certainty if this would actually work…
Rest is Very important, within your Sleeping cycles your body generate more White Blood Cells and Cytokines which is your Natural Immune Cells and would obviously fight off any possible Infection.
With the Humming and when you can tilt your head correctly, the sinuses could drain more easily And this also would help you Sleep better – giving the body the chance at healing itself.
- Positioning your Head for the best Drainage:
This would be Hard, when we’re already sleeping, you cannot easily control what your body will do – Ironically, I’ve found this to be true;
When you make any drastic Movements while you’re sleeping, you’re actually wake-up and do whatever you’re up to, so when you’re awake like that – see if you can manage to improve your position so as to allow better flow of your Sinuses…
I’ve NEVER done this – here I’m at a loss as well!
The best I can tell you would be this; whatever the Problem or the Issue for you, if you cannot Fix it yourself, with Medicine AFTER speaking with the Chemist,
Go see your Doctor OR the Dentist and find out where Your problem may lie…
I’ve had NOT only Sinus blockage, Pain; BUT I’ve endured that my Sinuses have brought on Migraines as well,
Those I feel coming and KNOW there’s little I can do when they do Arrive, Help yourself out and see what You can do if you do endure any of the abovementioned!
All the Best to You!
