Dr. Lee's Sinus School: Mouth-Breathing's Harmful Effects

 
 
Dr. Lee's Sinus School: Mouth-Breathing's Harmful Effects:
 
Recalling of my childhood memories, I used to wake up with a sore throat and had to swallow saliva to ease the pain. The pain was caused by mouth breathing during sleeping. I often started my days rubbing off drool marks around my mouth. I also sparsely did hums and ha’s during my speech. However no one was aware those were critical indications to calling for treating the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
 
 
 
 
I suffered frequent bouts of cold during my primary school years. I once observed my sore throat on a mirror, which caused by the common cold. Even swallowing saliva was painful. I saw a pair of walnut-sized tonsils on both sides of the throat. I touched the inflamed tonsils with my fingers. Those were tender in texture. I thought to myself, 'So these must generate all the pain.' From there on, I practiced to open the mouth as wide as I could by suppressing my tongue and saying “ahh,” to view the tonsils. My father, who operated an herbal medicine shop, treated my tonsillitis with pricking therapy (bloodletting therapy). Since then, tonsillitis never recurred and the tonsils are hardly visible now. I learned the pricking therapy to treat tonsillitis from my father.
 
I came to acknowledge that sleeping with the mouth open, drooling while sleeping and recurrent tonsillitis are all interrelated symptoms and should never be regarded insignificant. These must be treated appropriately in order to establish clear breathing.
 
Inner nose remained almost a terra incognita; it is inter-connected with various body structures and carries out functions relatively unknown. Reluctantly, most patients' complaints were limited to their nasal symptoms. Medical literatures pertain to sinusitis only list the symptoms confined to the nose. Through gaining clinical experience, I learn to perceive the symptoms caused by nasal conditions and how those can directly affect the suffering patients. I also became able to interpret the nasal conditions to diagnose other bodily symptoms. Subsequently, I could confirm treating the nose can more effectively deal with the other related symptoms. In other words, as some doctors can make diagnoses through observing the eyes, or treating the spine to cure other body conditions, I can diagnose and care for the whole body by observing and treating the nose.
 
As a clinical doctor of oriental medicine, I have counseled and treated numerous patients who complained of their nasal disorders.
 
The list of complaints include, but may not be limited to, the following: congested nose; one side of the nose is congested, then, it switches; stuffiness in the nose while breathing through the nose; obstructed feeling inside the nasal cavity, post nasal drip; unable give the nose a good blow; ear pain after blowing the nose; having a runny nose during eating; nasal congestion during the bedtime; scratching itchy throat with a weird noise; frequent swallowing of nasal discharge and etc.
Clinical experience provided accumulated know-hows in discerning precise regions to apply treatments, varying on patients’ symptoms.
      
One of my most critical clinical feats is the discovery of the cooling fan function of the nose; it provides more than an air passage. That is, it facilitates the ideal operation condition for the brain, one of the vital organs in the body, to perform at the optimal level. In a way, it acts as a computer cooling fan. Therefore, rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal and paranasal sinuses disorders, should be reconsidered as critical ailments that can undermine overall functions of the body.
 
Until now, conventional curative therapy approaches have been centered around relieving nasal congestion and surgical removal of inflamed nasal mucosa to prevent relapses. Those were prescribed based on a limited perspective on the functions of the nose as a mere part of air passage. But those are destructive procedures that can permanently disrupt the nose's delicate and critical heat dissipating function for the brain.
 
 
My first book, “Say No to Sinus Surgery,” devoted most of its contents on explaining the functions and the importance of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. It barely touched on the treatment aspect of the disorders. Hence, this is the first revised and enlarged edition with supplement on the subject of treatments in detail.

experience as an OMD specialized in nose related problems.

Korea's No 1 Oriental Medicine Clinic for Nose: Dr. Lee's Sinuse School Column : Frequent Tonsillitis Breakout

 

 

 

Frequent Tonsillitis Breakout

How to Cure

 

Many people suffer from frequent tonsillitis breakout,  how do we cure it?  Do we need a tonsillectomy? Dr. Lee tells you things you need to know if you make up your mind to have a surgery. Your tonsil might be weak if you suffer from frequent tonsillitis, however you have to also watch your sleep pattern. You might be mouth-breathing while you sleep.

 

Here, Dr. Lee tells you about frequent tonsillitis and your sleep pattern. --> Click below

 

 

 

Q. Why tonsillitis occur so frequently?

 

 

Dr. Lee's Note:

 

The condition can be caused by either viral or bacterial infections. It accompanies high fever and severe pain is experienced when swallowing saliva. 

 

The tissue of the tonsils has the tendency to swell much when it is infected. It could even obstruct the airway of the throat, suffocation is possible.

 

While it may be possible to treat tonsillitis with medicines, however, would there be a radical treatment to deter its recurrences?

 

This certainly is worth pondering. Tonsillitis caused by infections may not be so serious when it is appropriately treated, but in some cases exposing to cold air can cause infection in the tonsils and making swallowing painful. There are also other cases where people constantly suffer from inflammation of tonsil without infections. Why the tonsils are so susceptible to inflammation and infections?

 

Chronic tonsillitis that comes with high fever or inflammation of the tonsils that may cause low degree fever has a common culprit: mouth breathing. Nasal breathing, in which inhaled air goes through the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, ensures the air is filtered, air conditioned and humidified before it reaches to the bronchial tubes and lungs. In this case, catching tonsillitis is rare. However, in mouth breathing, the inhaled air, often cold air, comes in direct contact with the throat, irritating the tonsils, making them prone to inflammation and engorgement. For this reason, such case of tonsillitis can be effectively prevented by treating rhinitis and sinusitis to restore the ventilation in the nasal passages and sinuses, so that they can function optimally to bring relief to the tonsils, bronchial tubes and lungs.

 

But the subject of concern is limited to tonsillitis in this section.

 

The recurring episodes of tonsillitis can be explained by the following. At the early stage, anti-inflammatory medicines can easily treat the infection within 2 to 3 days. However, the infection may have been gone while the engorged tissue has not shrunk back to its original size completely. (It is similar to that of burnt wounds, swelling remains for prolonged period.) When this repeats, the tonsils can even become big as a walnut. Enlarged tonsils are not inherent, but caused by repeated swelling induced by infections. This is called, Tonsillar Hypertrophy. The tissues of the tonsils in such case are not treatable with anti-inflammatory drugs, as those are not inflamed in nature. Therefore, the size does not shrink back.

 

This does not cause pain, but it is swollen more than the normal tissues. Therefore, fatigue or compromised immune system results in making the tissues prone to infections.

 

The essential treatment is to bring back the tissues to its original size to free them from infections, not the drug therapy that targets inflammation.

 

----> For frequent tonsillitis, surgeries are often recommended. But the needle pricking therapy on the tonsils is a safe and effective alternative approach. I have employed pricking therapy that the time has proven effective in treating frequent tonsillitis.

As  the  weather  gets  colder  and  drier,  i see  patients with  dry  eye  syndrome  often  thesedays.

Dry  eye  syndrome  is  a  condition  caused  by  a lack  of  moisture  on  the  surface of  the  eyes.

The  cause  of  dryness is  the  heat  that  dissipates  moisture from  the  eye.

When  there  are  not  enough  tears, the  eye  becomes  dry  and  cause redness  and  feeling  gritty.  When  it  gets  worse, you  will  feel constant  eyestrain  whether  your  eyes  are  opened  or  not.

I say  dry  eye  syndrome  should be  distinguished  into two.

1.  Dry  eye  syndrome

2. Extraocular muscle  pain

See  which  you  belong  before  you  go  to  see  a doctor.

If  yoy  fall  into  no2, enough  sleep might  helpful.  Or  splash  cold  water  on the  eyes  to start  the  day.


If  this  does  not  help  your  symptom  and  you  suffer  continously, you  have  to  doubt  whether  your  sinuses  are  blocked  or  not.

You  will  need  a more  prolonged  treatment.  If  you  wish  to  know more  about  your  dry  eyes  and  sinuses, please  look  up  the book,  sinus  school  which  contains  correlation  between  dry eyes  and  your  sinuses.


Just  by  a needle-pricking  therapy, you  can  heal  your  blocked  sinuses  and  it  is also deeply  related  with  snoring.
