天然療法
膠性銀鼻腔噴霧
膠性銀是一種非常有用的治療鼻竇炎的天然成分。它具有抗病毒和細菌感染特性。每個鼻孔每天使用1-2次，持續使用6-12週，效果最為理想。
針對念珠菌感染
為了剷除鼻竇感染的根源，治療真菌/念珠菌感染至關重要。鼻竇炎(甚至慢性鼻炎)通常在接受治療6-12週情況會明顯改善。大蒜（Allium sativum）具有抗真菌特性。益生菌如嗜酸乳桿菌和雙歧桿菌也有助於恢復鼻粘膜細菌的正常平衡。一些研究表明黑接骨木果中的化學物質或有助於減少包括鼻竇在內的粘膜腫脹，並有助於緩解鼻塞。
桉樹油(尤加利油)
桉樹油能產生一種奇妙的帶滲透性的揮發物，不會像薄荷油那樣具有刺激性。桉樹油芬香，幾個世紀以來一直用於擴張呼吸道、縮小鼻腔腫脹和減少粘液分泌 - 效果快速也不會令人昏昏欲睡。
勤洗鼻
用一杯溫水、1/4至半茶匙的食用鹽開鹽水洗鼻，能將數以十億計的細菌清除，這樣你的身體就不必與之搏鬥了。
盡量避免使用抗生素
鼻竇感染可能存於所謂的“生物膜”中。服用抗生素很可能會將短期鼻竇感染轉變為慢性鼻竇炎。
Fungal infections cause a stuffy nose, eventually causing the nasal passages and sinuses to swell shut. In the body, any time something gets blocked (e.g., appendix, gallbladder, etc.), it results in a secondary bacterial infection — and the sinuses are no exception. When this happens, your nasal mucus turns yellow-green, and you go to the doctor in pain. They give you an antibiotic, which knocks out the bacterial infection and sometimes leaves you feeling better. Unfortunately, the antibiotic worsens the underlying yeast infection in your nose, causing more swelling and blockages and, therefore, more attacks of bacterial infections. This is why sinusitis in the U.S. usually becomes chronic. An interesting study reported in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings noted that previously “fungus allergy was thought to be involved in less than 10% of cases... our studies indicate, in fact, fungus is likely the cause of nearly all of these problems and that it is not an allergic reaction but an immune reaction.”
Treatment
Colloidal Silver Nose Spray
Another very helpful over the counter treatment for sinusitis is colloidal silver. It is an anti-infectious agent against both viral and bacterial infections. Use 1 to 2 sprays in each nostril twice a day for 6-12 weeks.
Check for candida
To get to the root of sinus infections, and eliminate them, treat the underlying fungal/Candida infections. Sinusitis, even chronic, usually responds dramatically to yeast treatment for 6-12 weeks. Garlic (Allium sativum) has antifungal properties. Probiotics such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium may help restore normal balance of bacteria in the nasal mucous membranes. Some evidence suggests that chemicals in elderberry may help reduce swelling in mucous membranes, including the sinuses, and help relieve nasal congestion.
Eucalyptus oil
Eucalyptus oil provides a wonderful penetrating vapor that does not have the tendency to irritate like menthol. Eucalyptus smells great, and has been used for centuries to clear stuffy airways, shrink nasal swelling and reduce secretion of mucus — fast and without causing sedation.
Nasal rinses
Nasal rinses using 1/4-1/2 tsp of salt per cup of lukewarm water will wash billions of bacteria down the sink so your body doesn’t have to fight them.
Avoid antibiotics
Sinus infections likely exist in what are called “Biofilms.” Antibiotics turn short term sinus infections into chronic ones.
