do rhinosinusitis? plant face with seawater!

Madrid, February 2011- 90% of the germs and viruses that enter the body do through the nose, proliferating there due to its ideal conditions of heat and humidity. For this reason we should keep a daily nasal hygiene to prevent disease as awkward and cumbersome as rhinosinusitis.

Rhinosinusitis is an inflammation of the nose and sinuses, sinus cavities found in the facial bones. Different symptoms such as nasal obstruction, headache, fever and congestion may appear… When these disorders lasting less than four weeks it is acute rhinosinusitis, when it lasts for 12 weeks or more is considered chronic rhinosinusitis.

Tobacco, pollution, allergies, nasal septum deviation … are conditions that predispose to chronic rhinosinusitis because they favour the accumulation of secretions, which leads to further growth of bacteria or fungi and chronic inflammation.

Although antibiotics are the specific drugs against bacteria, usually erroneously used in the majority of cases of rhinosinusitis, however, the condition of the respiratory tract is caused in most cases by virus.

Dr. Francisco Pedro García López, Chief of Pediatrics advanced and service unit responsible for Pediatric allergology, of USP Hospital S. Jaime de Alicante, prescribed water sea hypertonic for more than twelve years for the local treatment of rhinosinusitis natural therapeutic effects and side effectsalready hypertonic seawater is a mucolytic expectorant action, it increases the ciliary frequency, fluídifica and drag the secretions.

The therapeutic effects of sea water:

-cellular regenerator: cells feed on extracellular water and ions circulate around it. Each cell restores optimal operation to the re-mineralize.

-revitalising: restores the vitality and stability of the pituitary and favours the permeability and troficidad of the mucous membranes (maintains the barrier function of the cell monolayer) and reduces irritation of the tissues.

-Antialérgico: helps to reduce hypersensitivity to allergenspreventing nasal hyper-responsiveness and restoring the functionality of a biological field gradient. And this is priority acetyl Hill is the most characteristic mediator liberated, is a potent vasodilator; It is degraded by acetylcholinesterase, whose action enhance the ions Ca and Mg; balance that defines the level of activity of the acetyl Hill, largely determines the magnitude of the nasal vasomotor response. Spray seawater clean the nostrils: avoiding plentiful mucus to form (fluidise viscous mucus and increases the activity of clearing mucociliar and therefore drainage towards embedded matter nasopharynx), prevents excessive dryness (cobalt crusts), with removimiento of embedded matter, that would be unfavorable for exchanges with the outside environment.

-anti-inflammatory and analgesic: prevents the evolution of rhinitis to symptomatic deterioration, regional extension (conjunctivitis, sinusitis, otitis media) and progression to asthma.

– Reduces consumption and dependence on other topical medications such as antihistamines, corticosteroids, as well as resistance to antibiotics.

Spain and France have the highest rate of resistance to antibiotics due to its high use, which makes it more than necessary to raise awareness of the importance of not abuse of antibiotics, because his abuse contributes to the development of bacterial resistance.

And having a natural solution to breathe well why not do it?

Quinton laboratories are a few pharmaceutical companies dedicated to the preparation of water of sea microfiltrada in cold direct heirs of the biologist and French physiologist René Quinton, this laboratory is distinguished by scrupulously follow the original method of its founder, who have been able to update according to the European Pharmacopoeia. They are at the disposal of the professionals in the area of health or the public in general to satisfy his desire for knowledge of therapeutic marine and use of the specialties.
