Natural Sinus Congestion, Sinus Headaches, Allergy and Sinusitis Relief through Lymphatic Massage and Lymphatic Drainage Therapy at Healthy Being Well

Natural Ways to Address Sinus Problems, Sinusitis, Allergies, Headaches and Lymphatic Congestion

A common complaint of my clients this season is sinus congestion, running noses, plugged ears, sinus headaches, swollen glands in the neck and a general feeling of stuffy and puffiness in the head.


Sinus congestion happens when our mucous flushing system is shut down and becomes blocked. This can occur when we develop a cold, an allergy or if there is an obstruction or swelling in the drainage passages. Mucous production never slows down and in fact sometimes the immune systems speeds up by producing more mucous to rid the body of toxins, bacterial and viral invasions. The net result in a build up of pressure in the sinus cavities. The body responds to infection by increasing the fluid and white blood cells, into the sinuses, to fight the infection. This accelerates and exacerbates the problem.

It becomes very important for treatment and prevention to address the lymph nodes and lymphatic system to help clear sinuses of blockages. Lymph nodes share teh same stuffiness and pain associated with sinus blockages as our sinuses and are in need of decongestant therapies.

Natural therapies for allergies involve sinus flushing and support the immune system. Keeping the lymphatic system moving and decongested is a key ingredient for long term health. Often clients come in during allergy and flu season for maintenance treatments. Along with their Neti pot therapies at home and herbal remedies, an hour of Lymphatic therapy has helped many fight this dreaded season. Many have noted going a whole year without any chronic sinusitis or developing any type of sinus infection or upper respiratory infection.

Lymphatic therapy reduces sinus congestion and lymphatic congestion within minutes of treatment.

A specific Sinus and Lymph Drainage protocol is utilized for clients presenting with sinus problems, sinus congestion, headaches, allergies, pressure in the head, chronic upper respiratory infections and other indicators of a congested lymphatic system.

Natural relief for sinus problems, sinusitis, allergies, headaches and Lymphatic Congestion are available at Healthy Being Wellness Center in St. Petersburg, FL 33702 by the Lymphatic Therapies of Melissa Gallagher, Lymphatic Therapist and Natural Health Practitioner.

Flu Season Is Here!

The time of year is here where the sniffling, sneezing, coughing, sore throat and fever creeps into our lives and we just want it to stay away, but how?
There are many preventative steps that we can take to steer clear of the flu. Here are 10 tips you can use to help keep the flu away this cold season!

1. Wash your hands frequently with liquid anti bacterial soap instead of bar soap. Bar soap can be a breeding ground for viruses and bacteria.
2. Do not share drinking glasses. Instead, use disposable drinking cups in the kitchen and bathroom. Dispose after 1 use.
3. Use disposable tissues when blowing your nose, Wash your hands thoroughly when you are done.
4. Colds and flu are often spread through hand to hand contact. Make an effort to keep your hands from touching your face and keep your fingers out of your mouth.
5. If you have young children, wash their toys frequently in warm soapy water.
6. Viruses can live on hand towels and sponges for many hours. Use disposable paper napkins and towels instead.
7. If you have to sneeze and there are no tissues available, sneeze into your shoulder and not your hands to avoid spreading germs.
8. Frequently clean surfaces such as counter tops, railings, door knobs to avoid spreading hand to hand viruses.
9. Germs remain in stagnant air. When weather permits, open the windows or door to circulate fresh air.
10. Avoid smoking at all costs. It is a respiratory irritant that increases susceptibility to viruses that cause cold and flu.

If you feel a cold/flu coming on, here are a couple of tip you can take try and stop in in it's tracks or prevent it from coming full swing.

1. Take 2000mg of vitamin C, one garlic tablet, one echinacea tablet. If you don't feel better after 30min, take another 1000mg of vitamin C and continue to do so until you feel better.
2. Drink lot's of water. Viruses breed well in warm/dry environments. Keeping your body irrigated will help you fight the fight.
3. Sleep Sleep Sleep

Best of health to you this fall season!
