Dr. Lee's Sinus School: Vegetarian Diet and Sinus Treatment
Treating my patients I see it has a lot to do with environmental pollution.
Patients suffering from allergic rhinitis.
Chemical Fertilizers, Agrichemicals, GMOs, and Seed Manipulation
So I recommend my patients during their treatment period
to stay at the clinic. This is located in an eco-village and patients
take in foods that village people grew without using chemical fertilizer and locally grown vegetables.
Watching my patients, I realized just to stay in an area whose air is clean and to take in vegetables, their health condition get a lot better and immunizing system recover fast.
Besides to that, I ask them to eat brown rice.
Actually a lot of diseases are from your way of life style, environmental elements where you live and people you meet. Therefore, the best way to recoever it is that you find your original state back quickly.
It is go back to nature!
One of the reasons I decided to come down to a countryside,Goheung 5 hours away from
Seoul, the metropolitan city and built a clinic here. To emphasize how environmental surroundings
have effect on your life.
Korean medicine way of treatment is therefore fundamental. It helps you to recover your original condition back. 'Cause we believe humans have their own immune system in their body. My way of aupunture therapy to treat sinusitis and rhinitis is also to help you recover your original condition.
Thus, many patients feel their sinus got better. When treatment is done, I put emphasis on management. How to manage your sinus in your daily life is also a course of treatment. Actually, I guess it is more important thant treatment itself. You should become the doctor of your own body. Okay?
Then, here is Dr. Lee's Self Sinus Remedy
➊ Fill a syringe with warm salt water.
➋ Tilt your head so that one nostril is pointed down toward the sink and insert the tip of the syringe into your nose.
➌ Gently squeeze the syringe.
The salt water goes into the nose and drains out the same way and exits to the sink. Occasionally, some portion of the water passes through the other side of the nose. Any water that goes to the back of the throat should be spit out.
➍ Repeat on the other side in the same way.
Q & A
➊ Where does the salt water go?
Most of it goes into the nasal cavity and comes straight out. It is rare that water gets into the paranasal sinuses. There may be a small amount of water gets into the sinuses, however, it does not cause concern. Suctioning after a nasal irrigation is proven to be very refreshing.
➋ What should I do about, using salt water still stings the nose. What should I do?
Adjusting the salinity of the water makes it easier for the nasal mucosa. Saline solution is particularly recommendable, because of its salinity replicates the mucus' natural salinity. Saline concentration at different level may irritate the membranes, prompting more mucus secretion. Therefore, it may require you to blow the nose several times after the flushing. So, it is best to wash your nasal cavity with appropriate salinity.
➌ Would it be better to use distilled or boiled water?
Not necessarily. Salt added distilled or sterilized water is optional, not a must. Regular tap water is more than adequate and no harmful micro-organisms would be introduced into the nose. For first time, using saline solution being sold at pharmacy is recommendable. Use it until your mucosa adjust to the salinity level comfortably.
➍ How many times a day should I do it?
When you first begin, doing twice a day is recommended; once in the morning and once in the evening. The membranes of the nose come in direct contact with the air, just as your face. Hence, it is good to be washed. If you caught a cold, you can do as many times as you want to clear your congested nose.
➎ It hurts my ears when I blow my nose after nasal irrigation.
At first, you may feel your inner ears being stimulated by nasal irrigation, as if water got into your ears. Even so, you should continue to do it twice a day, in the morning and in the evening. People may concern the water might get into the Eustachian tube to cause an ear infection. The fact is, when air is breathed into the nasal passages, it creates the air flow to drain out water from the Eustachian tube and middle ear cavity, to maintain an appropriate condition.
The temporary ear pain associated with nose blowing is normal. However, if it reoccurs every time when you flush or blow your nose, it warrants concern. This could be an inflammation in the joint area where the nasal cavity and middle ear cavity are connected or it could be due to the lingering effect derived from a past otitis media episode. The area that connects the Eustachian tube with the nasal cavity is likely to have a swelling, being overly sensitive to perceive stimuli as pain. In such case, it does not mean you should stop carry out but it is a sign that you need an appropriate treatment in that area. Panoramic acupuncture, which involves with penetrating a needle into the palate to reach the Eustachian tube, effectively treats the symptom. There are also people who reluctantly live with pain in the Eustachian tube whenever they yawn or swallow saliva. I can assure that these are also treatable.
