Do you feel that your face is going to explode due to excessive sinus pressure? There’s a dripping from your nose and your head might explode due to pain? One episode of sinus and your entire week is ruined. 

How about some home remedies? Also, if you have tried these home remedies and are looking for other options, then read along. 

Home Remedies To Get Relief From Sinuses

  1. Inhaling steam

    Due to dryness inside the nose, the mucus that keeps the nasal passages moist can clog up. In this clogging up, there can be microbe buildup resulting in a sinus infection. Inhaling steam can humidify the dried up mucus and help in draining it out. 
     

  2. Get enough rest

    Taking enough rest can help in increasing the production of antibodies. This helps to fight off the sinusitis infection. Sleep for at least 8-9 hours to prepare the immune system. Avoid activities or beverages that can over-stimulate the body.
     
  3. Apply hot and cold compress alternatively

    Put hot and cold compresses alternatively to loosen up the mucus so that it doesn’t dry up. Recline with a hot towel and place it over the eyes and nose for three minutes. After this replace it with a cold compress. To achieve this, repeat this twice in one go and four times a day.  The warmth will help to loosen out secretions. 
  4. Rinse the sinuses

    Rinsing the nasal airways using a neti pot can help in getting relief from sinus symptoms immediately. As our nose acts as a filter to the air entering through the airways, it can accumulate various dust particles and irritants that can trigger an allergy. Hence, irrigating the nasal passages  can clear the sinuses. 
     

  5. Drink lots of water

    One of the major causes of sinuses is dehydration. This is important that someone who is already suffering from sinusitis drinks at least 1.5-2 liters of water. Drinking water will help in keeping the mucus membranes moist. You can drink other fluids such as broths, soups, ice cubes, tea or water-based vegetables and fruits.
     

  6. Eat spicy foods

    Loaded with capsaicin, spicy foods can decongest the sinuses immediately. Capsaicin is an active ingredient in clearing the sinus passages. Some spicy foods are chili peppers or hot mustard. 

  7. Eat immunity-boosting foods

    Immunity-boosting foods such as garlic, ginger, and onions can help to fight the virus. These foods give the necessary boost required for the body to keep these harmful microorganisms. Moreover, immunity-boosting foods also possess other nutrients and health benefits required to fight off the infection.

  8. Humidify the air

    As mentioned earlier, the sinuses need to be hydrated to relieve out sinus pressure. Thinking about how to keep the sinuses moistened? Try keeping a humidifier in your room. You can also use natural saline nasal sprays. You can also take hot showers regularly or keep your face over a bowl of hot piping water.
     

  9. Use OTC medicines

    Decongestants such as Sudafed available over-the-counter can help in relieving out sinus symptoms. By narrowing the blood vessels, these can reduce inflammation and swelling. This also helps to improve nasal drainage. Sinus patients can take medicines such as- aspirin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen.

  10. Avoid triggers

    There are several triggers that can trigger inflammation of the sinuses. There can be an increase of sinus pressure that results in nasal congestion. Here are some tips that can help in avoiding an allergic reaction-

  • Don’t drink alcohol

  • When using a humidifier, keep it clean

  • Washing the bedding regularly

  • When suffering from sinusitis, don’t swine or dive or fly

Treatment for Getting Relief From Sinus Pressure

 

A lot of people suffering from sinusitis have already tried all the above-mentioned remedies. Although these remedies are effective, these only provide temporary relief and also take time to show results. 

 

There can be any other medical condition elevating the sinus pressure that might require more effective options such as Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) or Septoplasty. These are day-care procedures that cure any other medical issue that is causing the sinuses to inflame.
