Sinus Problems

Updated on April 24, 2022

It seems that several million adults suffer from sinus infections or sinusitis.

The question is twofold: why do we suffer from sinus problems and why do more people seem to get this problem?

First off it is probably a good idea to explain what the purpose of the sinus is as well as its location.

They can be found within the facial bones as well as the forehead, cheek, and nose.

Their purpose is to filter the air we breathe. Because of the number of environmental pollutants, the sinuses can easily get blocked.

One of the best ways to solve your sinus problems is to use a neti pot to irrigate the passages.

This will help clean out the sinuses and get rid of any foreign material. Steam inhalation is also another good technique to help relieve your sinuses.

Small amounts of eucalyptus or peppermint essential oil can be used at night.

Their aromas help to stimulate and dilate the nasal passageways and help remove mucus.

Home Remedies for Sinus Infection

It is a simple fact that sinusitis, also known as a sinus infection, can be cured permanently. You can treat the sinus infection easily and safely in the privacy of your home.

Sinus infections have plagued humans throughout history.

Long before synthetic drugs and the drug companies came along people had sinusitis and had been treating them.

Somehow in the past, people have been cured. Using home remedies, and old folk medicines people of the past were able to heal their sinusitis.

Think how great it will feel having the health of your sinuses back. How light your head will feel again.

Regain the glow of good health! What a great feeling breathing freely through your nose again!

Nobody needs to tell you how painful and annoying sinus problems can be--the pounding headaches and congestion, the perpetually runny nose, and the debilitating fatigue, not to mention sleepless nights, lost work, and ruined vacations. Now you can do something about it by learning what a top expert tells his patients.
 

Using Steam to Clear Sinuses

One way to help clear nasal blockage is moistening the area with steam.

It not only helps to drain mucous but also gets rid of bacteria and reduces the pain caused by the inflammation. It may also even relieve any headache.

Instructions:

Add boiling water to a large bowl and then using a towel to make a tent, lean over the bowl. Make sure you can tolerate the steam.

If not, just let the water cool down slightly. Breathe over the bowl inhaling deeply for about ten minutes.

For a more effective remedy, try adding a few drops of Eucalyptus oil or tea tree oil, or even peppermint oil.

You will want to repeat this remedy three or four times a day until the inflammation has been relieved.

Another method is to use a warm compress to treat sinus inflammation.

Take a face cloth and moisten it with hot water, as much as you can tolerate with your hands.

Make sure you wring out the cloth and then apply it to your face.

Don’t rub it but just pat gently on your face.

It should help to reduce any associated headaches too.

Again, you should repeat this several times a day until the sinus inflammation has been relieved.
