a few important factors to consider:

 

1. most forms of chronic sinus problems are related to a chronic

fungal infection

 

2. constant travel weakens the immune system

 

3. airplanes are notorious for drying out mucus membranes, which

weakens mucosal resistance to the airborne pathogens that every fifth

person is coughing and sneezing into the recycled air

 

 

solution

 

1. avoid sweets, sugars, bread and milk (to inhibit fungal growth)

 

2. get adequate rest and exercise

 

3. take herbs to clear out the infection (eg. daruharidra), improve

the viscosity of mucus (e.g. vasa, trikatu) and reduce inflammation

(e.g. yashtimadhu) - additional vitamins A, C and E will be helpful

 

4. nasya (w/ sesame oil) and jala neti are both very good, as is nadi shodhana and other pranayama techniques

 

 

thought this was an interesting paper:

Pure sesame oil vs isotonic sodium chloride solution as treatment for dry nasal mucosa.

 

Johnsen J, Bratt BM, Michel-Barron O, Glennow C, Petruson B.

 

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, County Hospital, Skelleftea, Sweden.

 

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether there was any difference in efficacy

when nasal mucosa dryness was treated with pure sesame oil (Nozoil)

compared with isotonic sodium chloride solution (ISCS). DESIGN: In a

randomized, crossover study, 79 subjects with nasal mucosa dryness

were enrolled. Half the subjects received pure sesame oil for 14 days

followed by ISCS for 14 days, and the other half received ISCS for 14

days followed by pure sesame oil for 14 days. During the test period

from March 13 to May 30, 2000, the outdoor absolute humidity was low.

Nasal mucosa dryness, stuffiness, and crusts were scored every

evening with a visual analog scale. SETTING: The County Hospital,

Skelleftea, Sweden. RESULTS: Nasal mucosa dryness improved

significantly when pure sesame oil was used compared with ISCS (P<.

001). The improvement in nasal stuffiness was also better with pure

sesame oil (P<.001) as was improvement in nasal crusts (P<.001).

Eight of 10 subjects reported that their nasal symptoms had improved

with pure sesame oil compared with 3 of 10 for ISCS (P<.001). Adverse events were few and temporary. CONCLUSION: When nasal mucosa dryness

due to a dry winter climate was treated, pure sesame oil was shown

statistically to be significantly more effective than ISCS.
