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 to treat sinusitis. - 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.
