( 3 Dec 2007)

Sinusitis is a condition where in the sinus cavities around the nose and eyes are infected, which in turn puts pressure and causes pain. Try the following home remedies for sinus infection.

  • Warm water shower or a steam bath is preferred to create enough humidity to drain the sinuses.


    A hot water steam can also work wonders to open the blocks, relieve pressure and decrease pain along with draining the excess mucus from the nostrils.
  • While at work a cup of mild hot coffee, tea or soup would also work best.
  • To avoid drying of your nasal passage you can start a humidifier in your bedroom. This would help to relieve sinusitis.
  • To keep the mucus flowing drink lots of fluids. You can make herbal tea using different herbs like fennel, fenugreek, holy basil or saga.
  • Try to remove as much mucus as you can. Do this by blowing one nostril at a time.
  • Have a bit spicy food with added garlic. This will also help in sinusitis.
  • Press the sinus cavity near the nose and eyes with the thumb for 15-20 seconds to drive the pain away.
