Dealing with a sinus infection is a very painful thing.
I know all about the pain that they cause, from the pressure where you feel as if your head was about to explode to the headache that comes along with it.
Sometimes I wished that my head would just stop pounding, and that the pressure would subside, but you know what they say about wishing.
Once the problem seemed to subside I went out and looked for a natural way to treat a sinus infection, but before I could find one that worked another sinus infection struck.
It sometimes happens that way, chronic sinus infections don't ever seem to go away for long before they come right back.
Eventually though I was able to find some relief, so what did I find that could treat a sinus infection properly? Well, I'll tell you what it wasn't.
It sure wasn't one of the drug store potions that they seem to shove at you as soon as you have a problem.
Sure, some antibiotics would have helped me to overcome the sinus infection, but they also would have left me wide open for some other problems, like yeast infections, and stronger strains of bacteria that would have been harder to treat the next time.
The one thing that I found that really helped me was to use a netipot, or a system of nasal irrigation.
You use the netipot to pour water up one of your nostrils and let it stream out the other.
This has the effect of deep cleaning your sinus cavities, and getting rid of much of the impacted junk that seems to accumulate.
