Yellow Mucus

 |
Normal nasal mucus production is essential for proper functioning of the nose and sinus cavities. Under normal circumstances, around a quart of nasal mucus is produced daily.
When an allergen or irritant causing particle enters the nose, it becomes trapped in nasal mucus and will normally be exited from the nasal passages and sinus cavities with no discomfort or conscious thought. In some instances, an irritant particle can cause an irritation to the membrane linings before being able to be removed resulting in inflammation and excess swelling.
Inflammation and excess swelling can narrow exit ways allowing for mucus to become trapped. Trapped nasal mucus in the beginning will remain clear and gel-like in nature however as time progresses, bacteria or viruses may enter into the sinus cavities and allow for bacteria to feed off the stagnant mucus. This results in acute sinusitis and begins the color change of nasal mucus from clear and gel-like to yellow and gluey in nature.
The staphylococcus aureus bacterium is renowned for its effects on nasal mucus, changing it from clear to golden-yellow in color. Dark yellow phlegm on the other hand can be a sign of bronchitis or an infection of the chest.
It is always best to treat an acute sinus or viral infection which is visible through yellow nasal mucus than to allow this type of infection to progress further into a chronic sinus infection which is visible with green nasal mucus.

SinusWars2 - Complete Post Nasal Drip Treatment
SinusWars2 goes to work on over-stimulated goblet cells (cells responsible for mucus production). Decreasing the stimulus on these cells helps ensure nasal mucus production is within the normal daily level of around one quart per day. A decrease in post nasal drip also helps alleviate throat irritations, frequent coughing, hawking up of nasal mucus and stomach unease due to the large amount of nasal mucus entering the stomach.
SinusWars70 – OriNasal Clear
The OriNasal Clear Remedy is a new addition to the SinusWars Family which assists in treating stuffy or congested nasal passages which can often be accompanied by yellow or yellow tinged nasal mucus. This Homeopathic Remedy helps assist in the removal of blocked or trapped and stagnant nasal mucus thereby promoting the removal of bacteria containing nasal mucus. Once all stagnate mucus is removed, the remedy can then go to work on regulating normal mucus production, mucus flow and removal.
SinusWars14 - Sinu-Nurse Remedy is suitable for the treatment of General Sinusitis, Acute Sinusitis and Post nasal drip.
Acute sinusitis usually presents itself with general sinus symptoms. These are mild in nature with more serious infections such as Chronic Sinusitis or even Bronchitis becoming present if treatment is not sought.
