How A Clean Carpet Help With Your Sinus

What do our sinuses do?

Our sinuses are the sacs or cavities that are located within the bones and tissues within the nasal area of the skull, hence it is more commonly called as the paranasal sinuses . The main functions of the nasal sinuses are to allow voice for resonance and and add moisture to the air the is inhaled through the nasal passages. They help filter the air and remove unwanted particles and microorganisms from the sinus cavities.

SInusitis is a condition in which one or more of the paired paranasal sinus or cavities become inflamed. Sinusitis can cause pressure often experienced in the cheek area, in between and around the eyes and the nose, on the temples of the head. This also causes severe headache is many cases.

Sinus problems can be attributed to many factors, such as the following:

Untreated Allergies

Untreated allergies are the most common factor that leads to the development of sinus infections. These allergies are caused by allergens found in the air we breathe. Most common allergies are caused by dust mites, pollen, animal dander, smoke, dust particles and strong odors and fragrances.

Frequent Nasal Congestion

Frequent nasal congestion caused by viruses and bacteria also lead to frequent sinus problems. This is because the lining and the nasal tissues become damaged through sloughing and frequent change in their integrity.

Dry Air

Dry air can also cause sinus problems as they tend to dry out the paranasal sinuses as well. They carry more particulates and less moisture which can also cause irritation and discomfort to the cavities. Dry air can be more common in airplanes, because the air inside the aircraft are just being filtered and reused, and in areas with very high temperature and low humidity.

Others

Other causes of sinus problems may result from trauma to the face or head in general and some genetic and existing medical causes like extreme hypersensitivity or low immune status.

There has been an ongoing debate whether carpets cause sinus problems. What was stated above were the common causes and although carpets may harbor some of the items mentioned above, as long as they are kept clean, no harm can be done to your health.

Carpets can help with the status of your overall health so long as they are kept clean. They help with the regulation of the temperature and moisture in a room.
