Allergic Rhinitis : 
Allergic rhinitis produces an itchy, runny nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, itching eyes, tearing, and red eyes. Some asthmatics have seasonal rhinitis caused by pollens in the spring, late summer, and early fall. Others have chronic, year round rhinitis that leads to headaches and chronic congestion. Chronic Rhinitis : 
Often related to indoor allergens such as house dust, molds, and pets, chronic rhinitis is characterized by stuffiness, mucus discharge, and problems when exposed to air conditioning, heated houses with low humidity in the winter, weather changes, irritants, fumes, odors, or tobacco smoke. This condition is often linked to chronic sinusitis as well as ear, nose and throat problems, enlarged tonsils and adenoids, snoring, otitis media or middle ear disease. Chronic sinusitis in children: 
In children the condition might cause hearing problems later in life. Children with allergic nasal disease are often restless sleepers who wake up at night because of coughing, stuffy and runny nose, and sneezing. They have a thick nasal discharge, sometimes green. As the condition worsens they might suffer headaches and fever, eventually developing asthma, or causing their present asthma to worsen. Complications of Allergic Rhinitis : 
Other complications of allergic rhinitis include loss of taste and smell that results in decreased appetite and weight loss, teeth deformities from breathing through the mouth (jaw problems) nose bleeds, and teeth grinding.
Up to fifty percent of all persons with asthma suffer from chronic sinusitis. This condition may aggravate an asthma condition and produces asthma episodes. Symptoms of Sinusitis : 
The symptoms of sinusitis are headaches, tenderness of the sinus areas, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, and stuffiness. The nasal congestion might worsen at night when the individual is lying down and results in coughing. Other symptoms include pain and pressure in the teeth, cheeks, forehead, and behind the eyes, fever, sore throat, earaches, bad breath and a decreased sense of smell. Conquering Sinusitis : 
The vast majority of people who suffer with chronic sinusitis have resigned themselves to the belief that they have to learn to live with a diminished quality of life forever. I have seen that there are a great many things that can be done to resolve these conditions, as long as you are willing to make a commitment to healing. This is ultimately a life-changing process. Treatment for Chronic Sinusitis : 

There are four major objectives in the approach for chronic sinusitis and allergies.
• Eliminating food allergies
• Decreasing stressors that cause inflammation of the mucous membrane
• Enhance and support good immune function
• Addressing candida and fungal infections that play a key role in chronic sinusitis.

Food Allergies and Chronic Sinusitis : 
Food allergies are probably the major contributor to chronic sinusitis. Individuals are usually addicted to the foods that are making them sick. The elimination of the allergy can restore their sense of well being.
Food allergies can be reduced by supplementing a full spectrum vegetarian digestive enzyme with each meal. Optimal digestion can eliminate 80% of the food allergies. Rotating foods or avoiding them can also be an alternative recommendation. Food Allergies and Sinusitis : 

The most common food allergies related to chronic sinusitis are
• Yeast, grains, corn, sulfites (found in dried fruits, shrimp, bottled lemon or lime juice, prepared potatoes)
• Milk, cheese, peanuts, soy, citrus foods, chocolate, coffee, caffeine, alcohol, salt and spices.

Air pollution and Chronic Sinusitis : Effects of Air Quality

As air pollution levels have increased over the past thirty years, more individuals with symptoms reflect deterioration of the respiratory tract. This parallel between air quality and health is logical, since the nose and sinuses together are the body’s primary air filter. Although air quality appears to be a factor beyond the control of healthcare practitioners, there are actually some very practical recommendations.
The average person breathes 23,000 times a day. The EPA reports that the average person spends about 90% of their time indoors. So indoor air pollution is probably a more significant factor than the quality of the outdoor air. The good news is that this is an area in which we have greater control and access to more strategies and solutions.

• Thorough cleaning of the furnace, air ducts and carpets
• The use of different types of plants that are effective air cleaners
• The use of room humidifiers in areas where there is a relatively low level of humidity, especially in the winter months when the heat is on

Recurring sinus infections can indicate that their immune systems are weak or out of balance. Consequently addressing the immune system may involve restoring balance as well as strengthening it in some instances. Eating a diet that is low in sugar, grains, yeast, dairy, cheese, and vinegar can be extremely beneficial. And taking a protease enzyme (anti-bacterial, as well as anti-viral and anti-fungal) is the best boost to immune support and activity.
Eliminating or significantly reducing the presence of candida in the mucus membranes of the sinuses is another primary objective.
A candida diet (no grains, cheese, sugar, fruits alcohol and vinegar) for 10 days to 3 weeks is extremely critical. Adding protease, probiotics, a digestive enzyme as well as a cellulase enzyme are good choices for eliminating or reducing the malevolent effects of these pathogens.
