Answer 2

put your shower on HOT water, w/all the doors & windows closed, for about five mins.

then, go in there, w/the shower still running, and sit bent over on a chair...should help "drain" your sinuses.

Answer 3

Onion is a great natural decongestant.  Slice one and put a few slices on a small plate.  Keep it near you.  When it stops stinking, replace the slices with fresh ones.  This really does work.  Of course, you may smell like you need a shower, but your head will be clear.

Onion soup is good for this, too.

Answer 4

My husband uses this to keep from getting bronchitis, and I use to to cure sinus infections. THere are many kinds of bacteria that live in the sinuses, and this gets rid of all the bad ones!.This is the only thing that really helped me --- my Dr. told me about a sinus wash that will kill bacteria.

you need

distilled water

sea salt

liquid chlorophyll and colloidal silver from the health food store.

in a glass mix 1/4 cup water with a pinch of salt and heat to body temperature.

add 5 drops each silver and chlorophyll and mix.

using a large dropper (like one used for infant medication) drop 2 full droppersfull into one side of the nose while laying down.

Turn the head and let it drain out the other nostril. Be sure to have paper towels handy.

The silver kills the bacteria and there are several hundred kind that can live in the sinus cavities and anti biotics don't get rid of them all.

Do this twice a day for a week, mixing up the mixture fresh each time.

Then do it once a week for maintenance.

There is nothing in this that will hurt you, and it cured me.

I do not have to take claritin, or antibiotics anymore.

best wishes

DRINK HERBAL TEA

Herbal teas, especially ginger, echinnacea, lemon and mint not only taste wonderful but give the body's immune system a natural boost. Add honey to taste if you'd like it sweetened.

USE STEAM

Steam helps to relieve congestion, so if you're suffering from a mild allergic reaction, it might clear up just with a hot shower. If that's not feasible or doesn't quite do the trick, the old-fashioned remedy of a facial steam bath might work. This can be done with a personal sauna from the home appliance department, or you can make your own.

Bring a large kettle of water to a boil and remove it from the heat--this is important! Do NOT leave it on the stove, boiling, while you proceed. Drape a large bath towel over your head, lean over the kettle, and inhale through your nose. Continue for about five minutes. If your face begins to feel too warm for comfort or your breathing becomes labored, lift the towel for a second or two to catch your breath.

The steam baths available at spas help to open skin pores and to relieve nasal congestion, so you might want to use your stuffy sinuses as an excuse to pamper yourself with an appointment at a sauna or steam bath facility.

ESSENTIAL OILS

You can increase the effectiveness of steam, either in the shower or in a facial sauna, by adding essential oils. Eucalyptus is known for its clearing powers, as is peppermint. Just a teaspoon in the hot water will help, or you can put a few drops on a sponge and leave it in your tub while you shower.

According to Dr. Andrew Weil, one of the leaders in the integrative health movement, a handful of dry sage and/or eucalyptus leaves (or a few drops of the essential oils of either) steeped in the hot water not only soothes congested sinuses, it can help to prevent bacterial growth.

Other essential oils recommended by aromatherapy professionals for relieving sinusitis are rosemary, thyme, peppermint, geranium, tea tree (sometimes spelled ti tree) basil, juniper, oregano, and pine.

Use a single oil, or a combination of 3-5, in the inhalation steam or put a drop on a tissue to sniff as you need to. You might also burn candles permeated with these oils at your desk or in your home.

MASSAGE YOUR PRESSURE POINTS

Shiatsu or accupressure practitioners claim that pressure to certain points on the face and head can help to clear sinus congestion, again by triggering the natural healing tendencies of the human body.

Begin by gently massing your forehead and cheeks with small circles, working from the center, above your nose, outward and upward. Then, with the pads of your thumbs, find the v-shaped notch about 1" away from your nose, on the underside of your eyebrow ridge. Apply firm pressure here, holding it for ten seconds. Release. Repeat three times.

Move outward 1/2" to an inch (this will vary according to the individual shape of your face) and find another slight indentation. Apply and release pressure here three times.

With the pads of your middle fingers, feel for bony indentations at the bottom, outer edges of your nose. Apply and release pressure here also.

With the fourth and middle fingers, apply upward and outward pressure at the top of your nose, between your eyebrows.

With these same fingers, apply pressure along the underside of the cheekbone. There will probably be some sensitive places here; do not use so much pressure that you experience pain.

Gently massage, with small circles, along your jawbone from your ear to your chin. Relax your face by yawing, then repeat.

Gently massage or apply pressure to the top of your head, especially right around the crown. You can recognize the pressure points by noting the especially tender spots; that's an indication that some attention is needed.

With a massage oil made of 5 drops of essential oils per teaspoon of vegetable oil, massage around your neck, behind and in front of your ears, and over your cheekbones, forehead and nose.

Better yet, call in a friend with a gentle touch to do these accupressure and massage treatments so you can rest and relax, giving yourself one more healthy boost.

AVOID PROBLEM FOODS

Avoid any foods you have known allergies to, especially if you are fighting off cold symptoms. Dairy products are notorious for stimulating mucous, so they should be off your menu if you're suffering from sinusitis.

Answer 8

Take a hot shower and apply eucalyptus oil to a wash cloth and lay it at the base of your shower.
