My chiropractor, who is one of 3,000 board certified internal medicine
specialists
in the US, and very highly regarded, recommends CS neti pot sinus lavage.
I just had him do a balloon sinuplasty on my sinuses and he said to
neti right away and every morning for at least a few days or any time I
am having
sinus issues.
The balloon sinuplasty was the best thing I have ever done for my
sinuses and seasonal
allergies. He said the constant congestion pushes the turbinate bones in
the nose closer
together closing off the opening for sinus passages to drain through. A
small cuff with
an inflatable balloon is inserted into each of the three turbinate areas
in the nostrils. The
cuff is inflated and takes about 3 seconds to pop open the closed
turbinates.
It felt so amazing
to have them pop open during the procedure I will never forget that
feeling. Kind of like
your ears popping really hard. I was extremely congested from mold
exposure in a flooded
and poorly remediated house, which I vacated asap when the landlord
would not remediate,
but I had daily morning sinus headaches for that last month I was there.
That is when I
did the sinuplasty. It stopped the daily headaches even though I was
still congested from
the mold, because my sinuses could drain.
He said it is a procedure that most people only need max twice a year.
No anesthesia although
some practitioners do use locals or even a general. I think originally
the procedure was done
with a wire and started in the 30's. Then was modified to a much safer
technique and renamed
Balloon Sinuplasty. It is like Balloon Angioplasty which is used to open
up heart veins.
So yeah to the CS neti pot sinus lavage.
I do not use Xylitol. My dog is not worth the risk. Too many other ways
to deal with bacteria
and dryness than to keep a lethal substance anywhere around a
susceptible individual.
