Nasal Allergy Relief
Nasal Allergies are commonly referred as Allergic Rhinitis by the medical community. Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis often produces nasal allergy symptoms characterized by a runny nose, congestion, post nasal drip and itching during certain seasons of the year. Trees, grasses, weeds, molds and fungus are typical sources of pollens and spores responsible for allergic challenges of an individual with an over-reactive immune system. However, if you are challenged by allergies and sinus symptoms throughout the entire year or often describe yourself as having a cold that you never really get over, you may have Perennial Rhinitis.
Perennial Rhinitis sufferers are typically challenged by indoor sources of allergens that may be made worse by outdoor allergens. The sources of indoor allergen inflaming the mucous membranes of the nose and sinuses may include dust mites, animal dander, cockroaches, mold and mildew. Understanding The Allergic Process will help you to better understand how you can manage your exposure to specific nasal allergy sources.
Over forty million Americans each year struggle to overcome fatigue and irritability caused by the symptoms associated with Allergic Rhinitis. Adults suffering from Allergic Rhinitis experienced reduced productivity at work and at home are less productive; children with Allergic Rhinitis often have difficulty learning in school or performing at their best while participating in sports or extracurricular activities. Asthma, Cystic Fibrosis, Sinus Disorders and Sleep Apnea can all be worsened by the side-effects of Allergic Rhinitis. Certain medications such as antihistamines, decongestants and antibiotics may compound the adverse effects by causing drowsiness, irritability or excitability or restlessness.
Rhinitis Medicamentosa may result from long-term dependence on allergy nasal sprays that deliver a decongestant into the sinus passages. Nasal congestion and post nasal drip result from the overuse or abuse of this form of treatment. That said, nasal steroids can be very helpful to help reduce the inflammation of the mucosa lining of the nasal passageways.
The SinuPulse Elite's Pulsatile Irrigation technology delivers a gentle pulsating stream of a buffered saline solution into the nasal cavity to rinse the nose of irritating allergens that promote the symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis and free the cilia in your nose to transport unwanted mucous and debris out of your sinus passages.
