INSIGHT

Sinuses Filter And Condition Air

  • Sinuses are four paired air-filled spaces that filter and condition inhaled air before it reaches the lungs.
  • They warm or cool air quickly and support nasal filtration to protect the respiratory tract.
INSIGHT

Cilia Clear Mucus; Blockages Cause Sinusitis

  • Cilia line the sinuses and normally clear mucus toward the nasal cavity and throat.
  • Chronic blockage occurs when small sinus openings close after repeated infections, causing trapped mucus and sinusitis.
ADVICE

Use Massage Or Irrigation For Acute Relief

  • Try gentle sinus massage or nasal irrigation to help acute mucus drainage when sinuses feel blocked.
  • Use these only for relief; persistent blockage may need antibiotics or surgery.
