Recently, we sent out our first newsletter. It’s important to make sure our information is valuable and interesting. Please let us know if you want to read about anything specific to health. We are excited to provide quality tips and advise.

On that note, we thought it was REALLY important to include the TREATMENT of Sinusitis (an article in our newsletter). Read on>>>>

Treatment

The medical approach to sinusitis typically consists of antibiotics and occasionally antiinflammatories. Both of these approaches often don’t address the underlying cause and can lead to recurrent infections.

A more complete approach is to do the following:

* Investigate your allergies: Bacterial and allergic sinusitis often goes hand in hand1 and reducing your allergic tendencies by looking at your diet is a great approach.
* Nasal washes: A salt water solution that can include antibacterial herbs like goldenseal, eyebright, yarrow and others can be helpful. A neti pot is a specialized device made just for nasal washing and are available a most local health food stores.
* Argyrol: This combination of silver and protein has been used for over 100 years as a powerful antimicrobial. A few drops are placed in the nose daily.

What We Can Do For You

Nasal Specifics is a treatment that Dr. Cyndi uses to help treat sinusitis. The treatment consists of inserting a balloon into the nasal cavity and inflating the balloon to adjust the nasal bones. The adjustment of the nasal bones helps to flush and drain congestion. This treatment has been shown to be effective2 and many patients have reported that this technique has helped them greatly.

Dr. Cyndi also provides nutritional counseling and supplements to treat sinusitis.
