When the arteries and veins of the sinuses swell and expand, there is nasal congestion and sinus which becomes worse as days pass by. A lot of unwanted material thus remains entrapped in the nasal passage resulting in blockage like mucus, air and pus. A person having this sinus problem experiences pain and extreme discomfort and the pain usually starts from under the eye region and moves towards the jaw and can also be mistaken as either a headache or toothache.
Sinus be caused due to many reasons like allergies, bacterial, fungal and viral infections and the mucus that accumulates in the nasal passage and inflames the nose. Also, people experience runny nose along with headache and jaw ache and also fever and flu, sometimes along with bad breath as the nasal lined with thick secretions and becomes a cause to congestion. If these conditions are not treated at the right time, serious complications can develop.
Although, because of the advancing science and technology, there are many antibiotics and medicines that can help in reducing this problem. However, these medicines if used for a prolonged time can really be threatening as these medicines can also have an adverse effect on your health and well-being. Therefore, there are some natural remedies for relieving sinus problems and they can work positively and can help in the removal of this problem.
Cause For Nasal Congestion:
Nasal congestion can occur when a person is allergic to something or has a kind of allergic reaction. It can also be caused from flu, fever and influenza. Some people tend being allergic to hay, pollen and grass, and this type of allergy is known as hay-fever. Some medications and antibiotics can as well result in nasal congestion. Sinus infection in a person is the major cause of nasal congestion. There are different names what nasal congestion is given, such as stuffed nose, stuffy nose, nasal blockage, nasal obstruction, blocked nose etc.
If not treated properly at its early stage, nasal congestion can become dangerous.
Not only it blocks the nose and hinders our smelling sense, but also it can interfere with our ears, hearing ability and thus can also make it difficult for us to deliver an eloquent speech. During sleep, a person who has nasal congestion is likely to snore and can also result in breathing difficulty which arises when there is lack of oxygen levels, and this can affect the working of the heart too, resulting in heart dysfunction.

De-starching the Leaves of a Plant

By
De-starching the Leaves of a Plant 'De-starch (or Destarch) the leaves of a potted plant' is one of the preliminary steps in a  photosynthesis experiment . Biology students often ask the following questions about de-starching. What is  the definition of de-starching? Why it is necessary to de-starch the leaves of a plant before conducting photosynthesis experiments? What happens to the starch stores when the potted plant is deprived of light or carbon dioxide? How to de-starch the leaves of a plant? What is the definition of de-starching? De-starching is the process by which the starch reserves in a plant are depleted by depriving the plant of either light or carbon dioxide.  Why is it necessary to de-starch the leaves of a plant before conducting photosynthesis experiments? We test for the presence  of starch  in leaves in order to determine that photosynthesis has occurred. Glucose -  the p...

Ethanol Emulsion Test for Fats and Oils

By
Ethanol Emulsion Test for Fats and Oils The  Ethanol Emulsion Test  is a  food test  which determines the presence of a broad group of naturally occurring compounds known as  lipids . Lipids consist of  fats  and  oils . Other lipid tests include the  Grease Spot Test  and the  Sudan Stain Test . The Grease spot test is performed on fats - lipids which are solid at room temperature. Sudan stain colours lipids red, but is a less common bench reagent than ethanol. The Ethanol Emulsion Test is the most common test amongst the three. Procedure Solid sample  Crush  the food sample and place in a dry test tube. Add ethanol  to about 2 cm3 above the level of the sample and shake thoroughly. Allow the solid to  settle  (about 3 min) to allow the lipid to be extracted. Decant  the ethanol into another test tube. Add 2 cm3 of  deionized water  to the second test tube ...
