  • Hot steam - help moisten the mucus in the sinuses. Adding eucalyptus to the steam is helpul because it contains a decongestant; inhale the steam twice or three times a day for quick relief.
  • Hot compresses - cover the nose with a warm and damp cloth for a few minutes twice a day to clear the slime in the nose.
  • Nasal irrigation with a neti pot - an old fashioned sinus irrigator used for centuries in India. The neti pot looks like a small teapot-like container which holds the water and an added salt mixture.
  • Garlic - Anti bacterial and fungal contained in garlic, can help fighting the infection. A glass of garlic juice can assist with preventing infection.
  • Vitamin C - It is not the cure for the common cold - though it's thought to help prevent more serious complications. The benefits of vitamin C include protection against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease, and even skin wrinkling.
  • Apple cider vinegar - is a natural antibacterial, antiseptic properties as well as antiviral and when it is combined with garlic which has antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-parasitic properties creates a healthful tincture.
  • Herbs - there are many herbs available that have medicinal properties for treating sinus infections:
  1. Echinacea - is antibacterial widely used to fight infections throughout the world.
  2. Grape Seed Extract - is a natural anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and anti-microbial. It is 20 times more powerful than vitamin E and 50 times stronger than vitamin C as well as being good for your heart.
  3. Elcampagne - is an herbal expectorant that used to address cough and congestion; an herb that is grown and garnished with honey and lemon. (Any expectorant acts by breaking down the viscosity of the mucus and body secretions).
  4. Elderberry - is a natural antiviral and antibacterial; taken in liquid form.
  5. Eucalyptus - as an oil placed in a handkerchief with a few drops of eucalyptus oil can reduce congestion.

There remains little statistical analysis available regarding the effectiveness yet home remedies are commonly the mainstay treatment before antibiotics. When home remedies fail and the sinusitis infection blockage remains causing more inflammation or swelling of the lining in the sinus passages and cavities, it might be time to call the doctor.

Sinusitis is a blockage of foreign debris of bacteria, fungi or virus also triggers excess mucus production in the sinus cavities and inflammation due to the pathogens attacking the sinus cavity openings.

What are the most common sinusitis home treatments?

There are always the treatment options available over the counter such as: decongestants, antihistamines, expectorants, salt water washes, nasal sprays. If you are up against the wall and still won't go to the doctor take Benadryl, Claritin or Sudafed to reduce the histamine which results in congestion and clogged sinuses. Any histamine production increases vascular permeability, resulting in fluid escaping from the capillaries into the tissues. If you have a throbbing headache take Alieve or Advil or another over the counter anti-inflammatories. Coughing uncontrollably? Robitussin or Mucinex; an expectorant used to thin mucus and is beneficial for those in need of removing phlegm from the sinus or respiratory airways during an acute sinusitis infection or acute respiratory tract infection.
