Any good home remedies for sinusitis? |
My nasal passages are completely stopped up~ HELP!!! Hi, Home remedies that open and hydrate sinuses may, indeed, be the only treatment necessary for mild sinusitis that is not accompanied by signs of acute infection. Drinking plenty of fluids and taking rest when needed is still the best bit of advice to ease the discomforts of common cold. Water is the best fluid and helps lubricate the mucous membranes. Hot soups do indeed help congestion. The hot steam from the soup may be its chief advantage. In fact, any hot beverage may have similar soothing effects from steam. Ginger tea, fruit juice, and hot tea with honey and lemon may all be helpful. Spicy foods that contain hot peppers or horseradish may help clear sinuses. Inhaling steam two to four times a day is also very helpful, costs nothing, and requires no expensive equipment. A mentholated or other aromatic preparation may be added to the water. Long, steamy showers, vaporizers, and facial saunas are good alternatives. Many people take medications to reduce mild pain and fever. Adults most often choose aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen. A nasal wash can be helpful for removing mucous from the nose. A saline solution can be purchased at a drug store or made at home. Steam. You need to get a neti pot! SinuCleanse is great and it can be purchased at most drugstores. It comes with salt packets, which dissolve in water quickly. Follow the instructions. It feels weird at first, but it's worth it. Seriously. I use it every day now and haven't had a sinus infection since. You will hate it at first, but you will like the results. Have bad allergies and chronic sinusitis (at least until I did this) I to have SUFFERED with this condition.The best thing I found was Sudafed, the one you have to ask the phamasist for and show ID.Also,theres a "nose douche" a bottle and salt packets,use 2 at first,I used it 2x a day.When you finally start to flow,blow,blow,blowThe stuff thats going to come out will probably scare the S--T out of you!Be patient it works. i actually saw this on Oprah a few days ago! you need to get yourself a netti pot, sounds weird but the people on Oprah who had used it who used to get sinusitis and allergys a lot all swear by using this - so much so that i've told my mother she has to get one for my father as he suffers a lot from head colds and blocked sinuses and from what the people on Oprah said they used to suffer these same things but haven't had them at all since using this netti pot!!
