Sinus Buster Hot Pepper Nasal Spray Recognized As Effective Migraine Headache Treatment

Over 23 Million Americans suffer from chronic Migraine headaches. A classic migraine is characterized by extreme throbbing pain accompanied by dizziness, blurred vision and vomiting.

Some migraine headaches can last for days or even weeks at a time. Although there are pharmaceutically prepared medicines designed to combat migraines, an all natural nasal spray made with Cayenne peppers, Feverfew extract and Peppermint oil is fast becoming recognized as an important migraine treatment.

Sold under the brand name Sinus Buster, this new hot pepper migraine nasal spray has been garnering lots of media attention from medical reporters around the country. Sinus Buster was recently featured by CBS3 in Philadelphia on their popular Health Alert segment hosted by medical reporter, Stephanie Stahl.

In the report, Ms. Stahl interviewed Dr. William Young, a researcher at the Thomas Jefferson University Headache Center in Philadelphia. Dr. Young said he regularly recommends Sinus Buster to migraine patients and he agrees that Capsaicin, the active ingredient in hot peppers can be highly effective against headaches. Dr. Young also points out that Peppermint Oil, a main ingredient in Sinus Buster's headache formula has been shown to diminish pain through intranasal application.

According to Wayne Perry, a long time headache sufferer and the inventor of Sinus Buster, his unique product is destined to become a household name.

Cleveland Clinic Press Releases Consumer Health Book About Treating Headache Pain

It's not "just a headache," and you don't have to take it lying down! Cleveland Clinic Press, publishing arm of Cleveland Clinic, has released "Headaches: A Cleveland Clinic Handbook" by Dr. Robert S. Kunkel, one of America's best-known headache experts.

This consumer health book describes the different types of headaches that plague more than 45 million Americans and cost U.S. businesses more than $50 billion annually in absenteeism, lost productivity, and medical expenses. Managing migraine, cluster, and tension-type headaches involves more than swallowing a few aspirin, says Dr. Kunkel, founder of Cleveland Clinic's Headache Clinic and former president of the National Headache Foundation. Today, using drugs, biofeedback, meditation, and cutting-edge technology, headache specialists like Dr. Kunkel design treatment plans based on your diet, sleep patterns, and daily stressors. One in four U.S. households has a migraine sufferer - yet more than half of those living with migraines have never been diagnosed. And cluster headaches, which can be 100 times more intense than migraines, affect about one million people. Dr. Kunkel's headache book explains:

• Dangerous headaches and how to treat them

• Why headache is a true biological disease

• Promising new drugs for headache sufferers

• The risks of new headache medications

• The truths and myths about headache remedies

• How to manage the sexual ("Not tonight, dear") headache

• Bizarre headache remedies, such as a hot iron to the forehead

Cincinnati Cosmetic Dentist Purchases Neuromuscular Dentistry Equipment

A cosmetic dentist who treats patients in the Greater Cincinnati area recently purchased a Myotronics K7 Evaluation System to broaden her practice to include neuromuscular dentistry.

The K7 Evaluation system provides Dr. Mindy Munowitz, who serves patients in Cincennati , three technologies for measuring, displaying and storing objective data on physiologic and anatomical status and function: jaw tracking, electromyography and joint sonography. This objective data enhances the diagnostic and treatment considerations with information not previously available, Munowitz said. Munowitz has had remarkable success in using neuromuscular dentistry techniques to treat patients suffering from migraines and temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJ, she said.

"This new equipment will enhance what we're already doing in the way of treating patients neuromuscularly," she said.

Neuromuscular dentistry looks to the hard and soft tissues, muscles and nerves when creating a treatment regimen, while traditional dentistry evaluates primarily the teeth, bones and gums.

Many people don't think to make a dentist appointment when they suffer from headaches, neck pain and facial pain, but often these symptoms are associated with the jaw, Munowitz said.

Munowitz treats those symptoms using Ultra Low Frequency Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation, or ULF-TENS. Simply put, this stimulation emits pulses to gently massage the jaw muscles and relax them. ULF-TENS relieves the pain by stimulating the body's production of endorphins, the body's natural anesthetic.

The positive feedback Munowitz hears from some patients is that their doctors no longer have to prescribe migraine medications to them.

Neuromuscular dentistry can treat more than just migraines and TMJ symptoms. Other physical problems and symptoms it can be used for include:

• muscle tension headaches
• Sinus headaches
• Face or jaw pain
• Muscle twitching
• Neck, shoulder or back pain
• Forward head posturing
• Teeth clenching or grinding
• Clicking, popping or grating sounds in the jaw joints
• Soreness or pain in or around the jaw joints
• Limited jaw movement
• Ringing in the ears
• Congestion or stuffiness of the ears
