Many people appear to be using alternative medicine to treat chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), according to a recent study. Typically resulting from an allergic reaction or upper respiratory infection, CRS is marked by inflammation of the paranasal sinuses. Lasting at least 12 weeks, the condition causes symptoms such as nasal congestion, postnasal drip, facial or dental pain, headache, and cough. CRS disorders account for as many as 22 million doctor's office visits each year.
For the study, researchers surveyed 75 people about their use of 49 different complementary and alternative treatments, including acupuncture, massage, and aloe vera. Of the respondents, 65 percent reported using such treatments; 30 percent said they used complementary and alternative medicine to treat CRS specifically.
The study also found that only 43 percent of those who used complementary and alternative medicine talked to their doctors about their self-care practices. Since herbs and other natural remedies can interact with conventional medications, the study's authors note, it's important to speak with your physician about any alternative therapies you're using.
Pancreatic Cancer may some times be due to the NEAT reason may be due to non forgiveness of someone else or yourself. This way if we don’t turn it inward we may avert this awful disease. What do you think about this reasoning? This could also work for other diseases too.
When I went to a Traditional Chinese Medicine Dr., he referred illness to emotions.
