A sinus infection is triggered by an obstruction in the nasal lining, in this condition mucus builds up and causes an increase in pressure, creating a perfect ground for bacteria to breed.
The idea is to prevent the nasal mucus to thicken so that it flows freely and does not breed an infection.

Home remedies for sinus infection
  • Drink warm fluids through the day.


    A glass of warm water with 1-2 teaspoons of ginger juice is proven to be an effective remedy for sinus. This will help keep the sinus from getting clogged. The consumption of hot beverages like hot tea and chicken soup are particularly soothing.


  • Inhalation of steam from a vaporizer will give you instant relief by opening up and soothing the nasal cavities.
  • Avoid the intake of dairy products and wheat. If you are prone to sinus, fast once in a week on fruits. This will help in flushing the system from toxins.
  • Include raw onions in your meals. This will help in facilitating the mucus to flow out from the nasal cavities. Also eat green chillies to keep the mucus from flowing thereby reducing the risk of an infection.
  • Consume supplements and foods rich in Vitamins A and C. The intake of these Vitamins will help in strengthening your immune system and to counter further sinus attacks.
