The symptoms of Sinusitis are capable of turning anyone’s bright day into a dreary one. The main symptoms of Sinusitis are usually a runny or stuffy nose that is accompanied by pressure and pain in the face. Movement of the head will often worsen this experience. You may also see a greenish or yellow discharge when blowing your nose or even from the back of your throat when you cough up. If all of that wasn’t enough, another commonly reported symptom is having a reduced sense of taste and smell.

Sinus irrigation is one natural method for treating Sinusitis as well as preventing it. This practice includes running a stream of warm saline water mixture through one nostril and letting it drain out the other. Debris and bacteria are then washed out of the sinus cavities, preventing infection and clearing the airways.

Use a vaporizer it works as a natural decongestant to loosen up the secretion and soothe those inflamed membranes. The nasal cavities also become dry and irritated causing you to feel a burning sensation in the nose. Use a humidifier to put back that the natural moisture we usually have in the nostrils when we are healthy, but loses when ill.

If the nose is not cleared then the sinus pressure felt more strongly in the forehead and often misdiagnosed as headache becomes unbearable and relief is the only thought on the mind of the sufferer. Traditionally, people with front forehead pressure from sinusitis were told to steam their sinuses by boiling water in a kettle and by using a towel wrapped around the head to inhale the steam. Because of the location of the sinus pressure, many sufferers use aspirin that is meant for headaches and really does nothing to unplug the sinus cavities.

However, we’re not perfect and may catch it regardless, so let’s examine some common ways that we can treat the symptoms of Sinusitis. Decongestants such as pseudoephedrine and phenylpherine are good temporary remedies that help drain the sinuses. Prescribed inhalers, while not decongestants, assist in healing the sinus membranes. Over-the-counter nasal sprays like Dristan and Afrin are basically ‘spray’ versions of decongestants and can be used for a few days or so. Humidifiers or sprays that contain salt water in them will ‘melt’ the infected sinuses away (so to speak).

Staying in a clean environment is paramount. If the air outside your compound is not quality, ensure that you are indoors. Avoid smoking as well as contact with anyone who is smoking as this will increase attacks.
