When you have problems with your sinus area, such as a sinus infection, it’s a hassle. Not only will you have much pain, but you may not be able to sleep as well at night. But with the use of Xylitol with sinus irrigation, you might experience comfort once again.

Xylitol is found in wood sugar, and is actually already in our bodies. The body will make around 10 grams of this substance each day. Often used as a substitute to sugar in foods even, it’s not a drug. Used in many gums in order to help with preventing the tooth decaying that sugar can cause.

Not only is it thought that Xylitol with sinus irrigation should be done when you are suffering, but on a more regular basis. See it will help our sinuses and nasal passages out, because the bacteria that would normally attach itself inside our nasal passage may lessen.

Our bodies will react to the Xylitol that is sprayed into the nasal passage and be stimulated to create more to help defend the area. Plus that Xylitol will also reduce the salt that is sitting around in the passage, allowing the bodies antibiotics to work better and more effectively.

It’s not like using antibiotics that are given by the doctor, that your body may become immune too. Xylitol will not create that problem in your body, and you can continue to use it each time you feel an infection coming on. Though you should actually use it on a regular basis to help keep those bacteria down to a minimum. For the same reason, xylitol may be useful in the fight against gum disease.

So when asked why use Xylitol with sinus irrigation you now know why. It will help to keep the bacteria away, which will not only help with sinus infections, but also allergies. A substance that is already in our body, just by adding a bit more a big difference can be made.

One of the amazing hidden ’secrets’ of this century is xylitol. It is truly astonishing on two points. This five carbon sugar can help to prevent both tooth decay and gum disease because the bacteria that eat it cannot utilize xylitol as they can glucose (six carbon table sugar). 

The second fact to know about xylitol is that it has been both well known in one country and almost unheard of in many other countries at the same time. This astounds me a bit because it demonstrates the limited nature of our human awareness very clearly.

Let us take a closer look. Xylitol has been used and well documented to reduce the incidence of dental disease in Finland for over five decades now.  Yet here in the United States and many other countries you will hardly hear of a dentist that promotes it. There are a few, but they are not many.

How can something as beneficial as xylitol, in today’s world, be so unknown to most people despite the fact that Finlanders have been using it since the second world war when regular sugar became scarce.  Later, the dentists and doctors of Finland discovered that their levels of dental health improved due to the use of xylitol as a substitue for sugar. Another item worthy of renewed interest is the
oral irrigator.

Xylitol has one third the calories of an comparable amount of table sugar. It does not promote tooth decay or the growth of the bacteria that cause gum disease or bad breath. It does not require insulin to be metabolized and therefore is of particular interest to diabetics. 

Few things in this world are perfect and xylitol does have some drawbacks. Pets should not be given xylitol. While a human being has a special metabolic pathway to digest xylitol, many pets do not. Therefore it can be harmful to pets and can even kill them.

You can learn more about xylitol at Xylitol.org. There is plenty of research and information about xylitol there. Ora md is different in that it is an essential oil mix for helping to fight dental disease.

We tend to think that if something is good, that everyone should be aware of it.  Yet, as this example shows, that is not always the case. There are so many things we still do not know.  Perhaps we should resolve to reach further beyond our limited awareness and discover the truth of this world and the universe that is around us.
