1. Firmly pinch the soft parts of your nose for around 5 minutes while your head is slightly tilted forward (repeat if needed). DO NOT tilt you head back and/or lie down. Doing so allows blood to flow back into your sinuses and down your throat. This can cause a gag reflex and/or nausea.
2. Stay calm and stress free. REST. Make sure to elevate your head above your heart.
3. Apply ice (wrapped in a clean towel) or a cold/moist toilet to your nose & cheeks. You may also place a cold towel on your forehead for relief.
4. Once nose bleed has stopped, apply coating of Vaseline to your nasal cavity. Lightly coat unused cotton swab with Vaseline and coat the inside of your nose. This ensures that the nasal lining stays moist.

If nose continues to bleed, immediately visit your physician or emergency room for treatment.

1. Contact you doctor: It’s important that you contact your family doctor as early as possible because if you are indeed suffering from the flu, medications that you doctor prescribes work better within the first 48 hours of symptoms and the treatment efficacy decreases the longer you wait.
2. Perform an effective nasal Irrigation.  You can cleanse viruses and inflammatory factors out of your nose.  A recent breakthrough clinical study has found cleansing the nasal cavity with all natural, drug-free solution three (3) times per day shortened the common cold/flu by an average of 4.5 days. (Read Breakthrough clinical study by clicking here)(Study used NasalCare Brand).
3. Try eating raw garlic: try eating at least two (2) cloves per day in soup or salad. If you are having problems eating because of your symptoms, you can find garlic supplements over-the-counter at any major retailer.
4. Get as much rest as possible: Obviously lacks of sleep and/or stress can break your body down. So, the more rest you receive while suffering your flu symptoms, the better.
5. Stay hydrated: Make sure to drink plenty of water and Gatorade.

What is Pregnancy Rhinitis? Rhinitis is the inflammation of the mucous lining of the nose. So, pregnancy rhinitis is inflammation of the mucous lining during pregnancy. Why are pregnant women more prone to rhinitis during pregnancy? Well, during pregnancy a woman produces more estrogen and progesterone in their system that can cause swelling and congestion inside the sinus cavity.  The over-producing of these hormones may cause your nasal passages to become blocked. This is pregnancy rhinitis.

Pregnancy Rhinitis symptoms include: nasal congestion, sneezing, coughing, runny nose, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure/congestion and possibly headaches.

Here is the suggested order:

1) Hypertonic saline made with sea salt, buffered with sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, and sodium citrate with additional aloe extract. Why? This solution helps to maintain moisture of nasal cavity, enhance nasal anti-toxicity function, improve your sense of smell, and feel comfort.

2) Hypertonic saline made with table salt and buffered with sodium bicarbonate. Why? Clinically studies reported a higher efficacy with a slight burning side effect.

3) Isotonic saline made with table salt and buffered with sodium bicarbonate. Why? No significant side effect was known.

4) Isotonic saline made with table salt without any buffering agent. Why? Clinically studies reported to cause dryness of nasal cavity.

5) Pure water should never be used for nasal irrigation. Why? Pure water causes toxicity of nasal lining.

A neti pot holds the liquid, and the liquid runs into the nasal cavities through gravity. Neti pots are traditionally made of ceramic, plastic, glass, or metal. This simple device has been used for hundreds of years and is beneficial in promoting health in general, and reduced suffers from a variety of disorders. Many doctors, including Dr. Oz, recommended nasal irrigation with a neti pot. For those users who prefer using gravity for nasal irrigation, the neti pot – an old technology, is a choice.

However, several new and better devices are available for nasal irrigation. The advanced technology serves you better. For example, if you go to a place 10 miles away in the rain, you would drive a car not ride a motocycle.

Disadvantages of Neti Pots

From the educational and improvement point of view, there are several concerns about using a neti pot:

1) Since any neti pot relies on gravity alone, you, the user, have to tilt your head or turn it sideways in order to let the liquid run through the nasal cavity from the higher nostril to the lower nostril. The liquid may enter into the lower side ear.

2) Gravity exerts a limited force in irrigating sinuses. A scientific study conducted by Dr. Abadie et al. in 2011 shows that the neti pot can only let the liquid enter the lowest pair of sinuses, not the other sinuses at the higher position.

3) The health concern is its potential risk of causing an infection in some users. As shared in the very popular website eHow, one of the side effects of nasal irrigation with a neti pot is ear discomfort or pain. “The saline solution could also back up into the ear. This fluid in the ear could lead to infection.”
(http://www.ehow.com/about_5117560_side-effects-nasal-irrigation.html).

A long term use of a neti pot and its risk of infection was studied by Talal M. Nsouli, MD, clinical professor of pediatrics and allergy/immunology at Georgetown University Hospital School of Medicine and Medical Director at the Watergate and Burke Allergy and Asthma Research Centers in Virginia. Dr. Nsouli reported his study at the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology 2009 Annual Meeting that “Contrary to popular belief, irrigating the nose every day with the help of a neti pot may actually make patients more susceptible to sinus infections.”
http://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/ACAAI/16870.

Therefore, a neti pot, as an old device, is not an optimal choice of the nasal irrigation system.

4) Certain neti pots have a large open without a cover lid. When the user pours liquid into one nostril, the liquid may leak out from the large open onto the user’s face, causing some inconvenience. Even though some neti pots have a cover lid, if the lid is not tightly connected to the pot, it can fall off, or the liquid may leak out from the open-top onto the user’s face, causing a problem.

As an user, you may ask: why do I spend the same amount of money to buy the old device with these disadvantages?

Below are 7 signs that tissues will not cure your symptoms.

1. You have Pain & Pressure in your face.

If your sinuses become plugged, then they can’t drain properly. This causes pain and pressure.

2. Headaches

The swelling and pressure in your sinuses, can create unbearable headaches. The blockage of the sinuses and resulting inflammation causes you to constrict muscles in your head causing a sinus headache.

3. You Have Bad breathe.

Halitosis (or bad breathe) is an unwanted result of discharge that collects in your sinuses and drips down into your throat. The collection cause bad breathe.

4. You are coughing up Phlegm

If your cough is worse at night and the morning, chances are your cough is caused from a sinus infection. The drainage from your sinuses into your throat triggers these types of cough.

5. You have a Fever

A sinus infection can cause a fever. A fever is when your core body temperature rises because your immune system cannot fight the infection.

6. Pain in your Teeth

When pressure builds up inside the head, tooth pain may happen. Generally, a sinus related tooth ache occurs on both sides of the head.

7. Your sense of smell or taste is off

Inflammation in your sinuses can also cause your sense of smell and taste to become off.

These symptoms can be alleviated by using NasalCare nasal irrigation the all natural way. No drugs needed. However, make sure to call your doctor if these issues continue to persist longer than 10 days.

Naegleria fowleri is an amoeba. It has a worldwide distribution, inhabiting fresh water and shave oil. It is a free living amoeba typically found in the fresh water at temperatures ranging from 77 – 95 F.

Most infections caused by Naegleria fowleri are in the gastrointestinal tract, including liver. However, this parasite can also attack the human nervous system to cause primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM or PAME), a severe brain disease.

The amoebic infection most often occurs during the dry, hot summer months, when water is warm and at low levels, the number of infections increasing during years marked by heat waves. Since no specific drug to treat amoebic infection, prevention is critical important.

Below are some preventive methods:

1. Avoid swimming in warm freshwater, hot springs, and the thermally-polluted around power plants.
2. Avoid swimming during heat waves particularly when water volume is low.
3. Use nose clips when jumping or diving into bodies of warm freshwater.
4. Avoid disturbing the sediment while swimming in shallow, warm freshwater areas.

For nasal irrigation, when you prepare for the solution using water, it is advised that the sterilized, distilled or pre-boiled water be used.
