The only thing that is guaranteed to cure sinusitis is a prescription for antibiotics. Are you averse to taking antibiotics, or are you pregnant? If so, are there home remedies for sinusitis? Is there a way to get rid of the sinus infection pain, congestion and headaches at home? There are many things you can do to help sinus infections. Let’s start with something that is comforting.
Try This!
Do you have apple cider vinegar at your home? It can be very helpful in treating sinus infections. You can mix one quarter cup of apple cider vinegar with two cups of warm water if you feel a sinus infection coming on. If you have a tendency to sinus infections, you should start using the apple cider vinegar immediately you feel the symptoms. It should immediately clear it up. To get rid of the stuffiness, you can inhale steam.
This is a great way to get rid of the stuffiness caused by a sinus infection. To inhale deeply, heat a bowl of hot steaming water. Add a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil to it. Cover your head with a towel. The heat from the eucalyptus oils thins your mucus, and helps you get rid of it quickly.
Take Note
Garlic juice is a good option. It’s not just bacteria that can attack your sinuses. Sinusitis can also be caused by fungus. Garlic is both antifungal as well as antibacterial. Inhaling steam infused in garlic juice can be a great method to bring the goodness of garlic to your sinuses. You’re likely to have seen at least one photo of someone irrigating their sinuses using steam.
If you are doing it for the first time, nasal irrigation can be a bit complicated. You will need a syringe, but not the needle. Warm water in one hand. Now tilt your head so that it is horizontal. Then, insert the syringe in the upper nostril. The water will flow into one nostril, clean out your nasal cavity, and then exit the other nostril. You won’t need to use any painkillers, antibiotics or decongestants unless you are pregnant.
