1. Acupuncture. It can be remarkably effective for relieving acute
sinusitis. Acupuncture can ease pain and promote sinus drainage within
minutes of the placement of the needles.
2. Hot compresses. Help promote sinus drainage by placing very warm, wet
compresses over the whole sinus area (in your upper face) frequently. Work
up to as much heat as you can comfortably stand for 10 minutes at a time,
several times a day.
3. Steam inhalation. Inhaling steam with a little oil of eucalyptus in it
may ease sinus clogging.
4. Saline flushes. Flushing your nasal passages with a warm saline
solution can help relieve sinus congestion and prevent sinus infections.
Do this two to four times a day if you have an active infection. You can
use a neti pot, a traditional, Indian nasal-irrigation device shaped like
Aladdin's lamp that lets you pour the water into your nose. Or simply
dissolve a ¼ teaspoon of salt in one cup of warm water and pour some of
the solution into your cupped hand and inhale it through one nostril while
a finger from your opposite hand compresses and blocks the other nostril.
Alternatively, you can sniff the solution from a small cup or squirt it
into your nostrils with a rubber-bulb syringe. The idea is to inhale
enough water to spit it out through your mouth.
Sinusitis Home Remedies
If you think you have sinusitis and
your condition is not accompanied by fever, cough or nasal discharge that is
yellowish to greenish, then you can use the following as a sinusitis home
remedy:
Garlic – The
herb contains the same chemical found in drugs that lessen the stickiness of
mucus.
Dried
Rosemary – Rosemary acts as an analgesic that can help relieve
headaches and facial pain.
Anise
Seed – Anise helps break up mucus and it also acts as an expectorant.
Horseradish – The
pungent root is said to contain the same compound that can be found in nasal
decongestants.
Fenugreek
Seed – Fenugreek seeds are tonic, astringent, demulcent and
expectorant. These characteristics work together to relieve congestion of the
sinuses.
Cayenne
Peppers – Cayenne peppers contain capsaicin. Capsaicin is a
substance that can stimulate the nerve fibers and it may also act as a nasal
decongestant.
Black
Peppercorns – Black pepper is useful if you have sinusitis. Taken with
honey, it acts as a stimulant that breaks up hard mucus in the nasal passages
and it also warms the body up. It also acts as an anticatarral which prevents
the formation of mucus.
