With the Standard Throat Irrigator Tip, add saline or diluted mouthwash to the SinuPulse Elite basin. The throat tip has a contoured design to fit on the tongue comfortably. Lay the tip straight back on the left side of the tongue and direct it just behind the last tooth. the irrigation system will wash the left tonsil and side of the throat, then come around and wash the other side. Gently pull the tongue cleaner back and forth to remove and rinse away bacteria and food particles.

Rinse the machine thoroughly with cold water after each use to remove any residue. Use mild soap and warm water to clean the irrigator tip. If pressure appears to drop off or water flow is reduced due to mineral deposits and clogging from salt and other additives, run white vinegar through the unit for several minutes by placing the wand and sinus tip into the blue reservoir so that the flow recycles.

Use it for throat pain, swollen tonsils, cryptic tonsils, tonsil stones, or hoarseness use at onset of symptoms. It is especially recommended to use the throat irrigator at the earliest onset of a sore throat for best results and to prevent the spread of germs to other members of the family. Discontinue throat irrigation as soon as the sore throat clears, or as directed by your physician.

Most upper-respiratory problems, including sinus infections and allergies, are related to poor function of nasal cilia, the tiny hairs in the mucous membranes that act to remove pollutants. Most drugs treat symptoms. Some drugs kill bacteria temporarily, but they don't improve the body's long-term ability to fight infection. the SinuPulse Elite Advanced Nasal Sinus Irrigation System bathes the nose and sinuses with a gentle and refreshing pulsating action.

Rinse the machine thoroughly with cold water to remove the salt after each use. Use soap and warm water to clean the irrigator tip. You may also remove the silicone bulb tip and boil it - but do not boil or steam the plastic stem.

The SinuPulse Throat Irrigator Tip provides gentle, soothing relief of sore throat pain, reduces swelling, and encourages healing by massaging and stimulating blood flow to the infected area. It's extremely beneficial for cryptic tonsils and tonsil stones. The new, state-of-the-art tongue cleaner features a unique triple edge action and gentle rinse designed to remove bacteria and food particle for fresh breath. It provides pleasant infection protection for the entire family.

With the SinuPulse Sinus Irrigator Tip, add one teaspoonful of SinuAir or salt (non-iodized salt because some people are sensitive to iodine) to the basin to get the correct saline concentration. Fill the reservoir with warm water, about 27 ounces. Turn on the device and adjust the pressure so that if you point the irrigator straight up in the air, the stream is about one inch high and approximately 5 psi.

The sinus irrigator should be used daily if there are symptoms ,or if the common cold or allergy season is bad. If there are no symptoms, this means the cilia are working OK and you don't need the irrigation. I see no objection to adding grape seed extract to the irrigation. It will take me some time to evaluate the result of this addition. After you irrigate, your sinuses contain the saline solution. This solution has displaced the mucus, bacteria, etc that was in the sinus.

A strep throat is a bacterial infection caused by the streptococcus bacteria. A strep throat mainly affects the area that surrounds the tonsils and often accompanies tonsillitis. Streptococcus bacteria can also cause scarlet fever, pneumonia, sinusitis, and ear infections. Laboratory studies have shown that Manuka Honey can fight streptococcus bacteria. Manuka Honey is soothing and helps relieve the sore throat with its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

Generally an actor (like William Shatner or Barbara Eden - both of whom recorded at Gold Star) who recorded a vocal album to satisfy their fans. The late Don Ralke was our expert at bringing out the best in these people as they were often unskilled or inexperienced singers.

Yes. The throat is the center part of the flower, usually a lighter color than the petals and sepals. The eyezone is usually a contrasting darker color in a band around the segments. If it covers both petals and sepals, it is an eyezone. If it only covers the petals (wider segments), it is usually called a band. It is an added plus that one of the world's most beautiful perennials is also one of the easiest to grow.

I am not totally convinced that the magnetic powers of the Hydrofloss (R) irrigator make that machine all that more effective as an oral irrigator. For better than half the price, I know that the Via-jet(R) is very effective, in any event. Both units are basically tools anyway, so the bottom line is how you use them...

Here are all of the pictures I have found on the internet of oral warts and/or oral HPV. I hope they help answer some of your questions. Remember, there are many "normal" bumps in the oral cavity, but paranoia can really take a toll on you if you don't know what you're looking at. Just hi-lite one address at a time and copy and paste it into your web address box. If you have any questions or if you would like to email me please do not hesitate.

Tonsillitis or strep throat can be caused by either a virus or by bacteria which is easily passed on from person to person. Tonsillitis in children is mostly caused by a virus, such as the common cold virus or flu virus, whereas in adults tonsillitis is mostly caused by bacteria.

The common symptoms are a severe sore throat with a yellow or white coating on the tonsils. The tonsils or the throat are swollen and red. A throat infection is often accompanied by fever, painful swallowing and swollen lymph glands. When suffering from a persistent sore throat you must consult your doctor. Untreated, infections can lead to problems with heart or kidneys.

In some patients, acid can reflux into the throat causing inflammation of the back of the throat which can lead to pharyngitis, or into the vocal cords, which can lead to laryngitis and hoarseness. Although there are many other causes for sore throat and laryngitis, GERD should be suspected in a patient with chronic sore throat or other GERD symptoms or when no other cause can be found.

Strep throat is caused by streptococcal (strep) bacteria. There are many different strains of strep bacteria, some of which cause more serious illness than others. The type of strep that most commonly infects the throat is called group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus (GABS). Other types that can sometimes infect the throat are groups C and G strep bacteria.

Strep throat is diagnosed with a physical examination, medical history, and a rapid strep test. A throat culture is sometimes done to confirm the results of the rapid strep test.
