How to Prevent Sinus Infection - Swimming & Ocean Water


It’s summer and I love to swim

Fortunately, there is some good news. When spring ends and the weather is hot many people turn to the ocean for rest and relaxation. Salt water which has been seen as being very healing on many levels is also seen as a natural remedy for sinus infection. Sinusitis is much like a flu or a cold and often develops during the cold rainy seasons producing congestion, headache, nasal secretions that are colored, bad breath, high fever and toothache. Swimming in salt water is a nice reprieve once winter and spring have passed. Although it is probably impossible to prevent a sinus infection there are some ways to assist the frequency of occurrence and the severity of the infection

Those who suffer with sinus infection could benefit from a swim in the ocean as sea salt water has a high salt content, similar to that of our bodies. When the salt water ratio is close enough to ours, the pores in our skin will open and release built up toxins. It is believed that that sea water is able to rinse out the nasal passages of the excess mucus, opening up the blockages and reducing the symptoms that result from sinus infections.

A word of note; do not use the pool as a natural remedy to alleviate sinus infections as the chlorine in the pool is seen as being irritating to the nasal and sinus cavities. During a sinus infection, there is already existing inflammation, and substance or a chemical such as chlorine would only exacerbate that inflammation. Allergic reactions that create stuffy nose, itchy throat, sneezing and fever are also presumable quelled with swimming in the ocean.

In learning how to prevent sinus infection we can actually get some exercise, by taking a trip to the beach. Swimming in the ocean is not scientifically studied yet there are some historical indicators that ocean water is pretty medicinal. Moreover, knowing what allergens affect us, though, will help in learning how to prevent sinus infection. Once we know what climates predispose us to sinus infection for instance, we can avoid that location or know to take allergy medication during the time when the pollen count is high. Once we know how our sinus infections develop there is less chance of getting a sinus infection.

Measures to take: prevention

Sinusitis is inflammation in the sinus cavities and develops after a cold, flu or an allergy. A cold or an allergy predisposes the sinus passages to a sinus infection, whether the inflammation in the sinus cavities was brought about by exposure to bacteria, fungi, or a virus or even an anatomical obstruction such as a deviated septum.

What to do:

  • Moisten air in the home with humidifier or vaporizer
  • Filter the air to remove dust, allergens or pollutants
  • Avoid pollution that is in the environment such as smoggy places, smoky bars, paint fumes, gasoline fumes, perfumes etc
  • Drink plenty of fluids, especially water and hot liquids
  • Avoid diving which can force water into the sinus passages
  • Vaccinate against infections to prevent sinus infection
  • Reduce stress which often lowers the immune system leaving the body susceptible to illness
  • Avoid extreme temperatures which can over dry sinuses or leave them too wet and trap bacteria
  • Use good hygiene
  • Avoid place travel
