This may be due simply to the over consumption of foods that renders the body fluids more acidic or due to actual toxic eliminations from chemicals, pesticides or other causes of “toxemia” such as poor bowel eliminations. These irritants set up inflammation and discharge in the mucous membrane of the sinuses.
