Guest guest Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 After pondering the fact that sinus infections mean bad guy critters proliferating in there, I thought " Well, what if I innoculate my sinuses with preferable critters? " and tried fresh whey, full of lactobacilli. One part whey, maybe 3 parts water with just enough salt to = body fluid salinity. I taste it first. Then lie down, tip back my head and use a plastic pipette to put it in my nostrils drop by drop. After a bit I turn so my face is downwards, to let the solution get into all those sinuses around the nose. For a while afterwards I usually expell really thick mucous, kinda like eggwhite. And real soon my sinus pain is greatly diminished if not gone. Now the question is, why does one have chronic sinus trouble? In my case I suspect a root canal in that area. Going to get checked by a special dentist who does electrodermal testing, later this month. Anyway, till I get to the root cause, I figure this is " the whey to go! " Shivani (If anybody wants to know more about it, e-mail me directly. I read the list sporadically.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I have been suffering with sinus headaches off and on for the past month. I think some of it has to do with the weather. It has been cloudy off and on every couple of days. I have tired sinus pills, sinus/nose washes, aspirin, hot showers, etc. I would appreciate any help in getting rid of the headachs.

Please check out: http://www.acupressure.com/articles/coldflu.htm In particular the point Bladder 2. Even though this is a chapter on colds and flu, it has applications for sinus headaches. The common cold, the flu, nasal congestion and runny nose, and certain headaches (not all) have an underlying imbalance of Wind Cold or Wind Heat Invading. Dampness also can invade and cause nasal and sinus congestion. BTW, arthritis also has Roots of Wind, Cold, Damp invasion. A name for the Bladder 2 point is " Drilling Bamboo " . Often, when people who need to work this point massage it, they will get a drilling-like sensation. I want to give a caution for the Stomach point below the cheek directly below the pupil of the eye when one is looking forward. If the person has an infected tooth, holding or massaging this point can enable the infection to spread and in the long-run worsen pain from the infected tooth. It can cause tooth infection to affect a wider area because it does open up this area. The author is very good about giving contraindications for pregnant women. Some acupoints can bring on premature labor. If you pass info about these acupoints to others, please be sure to mention when certain points are contraindicated for pregnant women and make sure the recepient of the info understands how important this contraindicated in pregnancy info is. Acupressure and acupuncture do really work. In addition, you might find the chapter on improving the immune system useful: http://www.acupressure.com/articles/immunesys.htm For additional articles on this site, see: http://www.acupressure.com/articles.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
