Guest guest Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 I have the same problems plus eczema and live in the humid south. I use a neti pot every day which has greatly reduced my sinus problem, but it is something you have to persist with. It took several months to keep me clear. I use a herbal remedy for the asthma and have been using it for 13 years. Its called Asthma Formula 1014 and is made by Health & Herbs www.healthherbs.com ph 1-800-345-4152. I buy an 8oz. bottle and it does me a year., but you can get a small one to see if it works for you. The dose is 6-12 drops, it contains lobelia which some people are sensitive to, so don't take more to begin until you know your own capacity . If that doesn't work add more. I need 2-3 dropperfuls and when having a bad attack I've taken 3 dropperfuls once and then again in fifteen mins. I've never needed more than this and have not used an inhaler in about seven years. A continuing ky practice is a great help, but I think it takes time to get rid of such problems. My sense is that someday it will go completely, but in the meantime I need to be patient, to keep doing the work and work out the karma.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 Hi Avtar, I'm happy to take your advice and thanks for anyone who has had sinus problems for a long time, it is such a pain to live with. I am using the neti pot but maybe not enough? I'm always willing to try something new till I can move from this place.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 Deanna, If I am having problems I use the neti pot up to three times a day, but be sure to oil the insides of your nostrils afterwards or they can get quite sore. Almond oil or olive oil is good - I always have olive oil in the house. Everry time I get lax and stop using it the problem comes back. I can tell you that many years ago a dematologyt/allergy specialist explained to me that sinus , asthma and eczema go together - one can have one at a time or even all three together. You can switch from one to the other for no apparent reason and can go through times when they all disappear and then they can come back. No-one knows why. In my case it's a genetic thing, as allergies run in my family and I've had them since infancy. My mother had them too, as do my children and I can tell you my mother didn't live in a polluted or chemically toxic enviroment when she was young - the twenties and thirties in Ireland -when her allergies were at their worst. That's why I think Karma here is a big factor and like Ranjit said, it's a great relief to accept that. Yogi Bhajan has said that the difference between a spritual and ordinary person is that the spiritual one is happy to pay off their karma. Hope something works out for you !

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Hi Avtar, I am glad you gave me the hint to use olive oil, I always use it to cook with and know it's great for the outside of the skin too! I will try that but I need to move, there is mold in the house, that makes allergies worse. Good thing I am renting this cottage, nothing is keeping me here if the opportunity presents itself. My 'karma' in this life is a big disappointment, one small catastrophe after another one. For example; I was homeless for nine months through no fault of my own, with four children. The motel where we stayed still has many homeless people there. This happened to us when my youngest son was entering kindergarten. Two years ago I wanted to have a bit of good fun with that same son before he left for his life at college, many miles away... I bought skates, they were too long for me but I wanted to have this memory so without protection, I broke my wrist in two places. The doctor was an idiot, the cast was too tight, the swelling didn't completely go down from my fingers for almost two years... I'm still stuck in my life now, in limbo, waiting for some door to open so I can change everything. I've no extended family to give me a helping hand, no husband to depend on, my children, now that they have partners and new lives have abandoned me...but I did manage to find this list but most importantly I haven't given up hope yet, I adopted the most beautiful aussie and she is the reason I haven't given up. You must understand that I am well read now, intelligent, kind, very sensitive to others and the world's suffering, but I am not important to anyone. I need some happiness now, would hate to be dying and feel I missed the home, the partner, the family I always wanted. I don't envy anyone what they have, but sure feel sad about my own place in life. I've been grieving for many years now. I feel my Karma is to be abandoned by everyone, starting with my parents... Why do I have to go through this, I am good, in and out!!! I like the way I feel and think, I always am learning and teaching what I learn... I will be happier when I move because that is the only solution. The dampness makes my breathing worse like the last two days. No one knows me as well as I do, no one has had to walk in my moccasins (as they say!) I want to being out my childlike ways again, laugh out loud and live with a kindred-spirit. Now I know this is boring to all of you, if anyone has overcome much in life, please email me at crescentia to not bother the list...LOL I am searching asking for help from the universe at this point I need a new path. Any solutions will be appreciated. I'm tired of being stuck. Now that my children don't need me, I need to be needed but also don't want this life I made! I'm not blaming, just never realized that this would be the result of all that went before. My feeling is that I never did have the support I needed. Everyone needs support to change. Homespun looking for a new start, I'm worth it! LOL I'll try the oil! This morning again, stuffy as usual, the same old thing. I'm a fan of the Wisdom channel if anyone is familiar with it. Now that is the kind of educating we need to teach the younger generation! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *We must feel needed.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Avtar, My father had hay fever very bad and when I was small, my parents alcoholic, before I was rescued, to live with my grandparents, I developed asthma, but now that I look at it, it was all the stress inside of me that would accumulate and every so often, I would wake up with an 'asthma attack'. When I went to live with my loving grandparents at the age of 8, the stress was much less and my attacks went away like magic. I'm feeling unbalanced, that is why I am searching, reading, hoping something will get me on my right path. How can I do yoga when I can't even take a deep breath? I lost my singing voice, never can breath right from my chest so if I could clear up my sinuses, maybe then I would be able to get the energy back...that was lost. I don't want to be a saint, I'm not, I am tired of being a Weeping Madonna. I am eating vegetarian, keep away from dairy, never smoked in my life, although both my parents did, never drink nor turn to drugs but want to be healthy, content and then maybe I can help others. As it is I am unable to even get my life working. Forgive my whinning, I'm usually very upbeat in spite of my distress but it is like Chinese torture after a while, it's hard to stay optomistic when nothing really changes.
