How To Treat Sinusitis Naturally

Sinusitis is usually treated by a combination of medications and antibiotics, but for those in favor of a natural lifestyle there are several ways to treat the symptoms of sinusitis naturally. There are many benefits to treating a sinus infection, the main one being that you are not overly medicated and there is no risk of developing a resistance to antibiotics. Let's take a look at how to treat sinusitis naturally.

Some ways to treat sinusitis naturally include:

  • Incorporate more vegetables and fruit into your diet
  • Eliminate dairy, sugar, processed and refined foods
  • Drink a green smoothie daily
  • Steam inhalation
  • Use warm compresses

DIET

Your diet should consist of 50 to 75% fresh vegetables and fruit, as well as clear broths and soups. Increase your intake of fluids, such as water and other clear liquids, and herbal tea. Fresh fruit or vegetable juices are also great, if you have a juicer then even better. Things with dairy, caffeine, alcohol or large amounts of sugar should all be cut out of your diet as they lead to dryness, inflammation and the creation of thick mucus leading to congestion. This includes process and refined foods.

THE GREEN STUFF

Drinking a green smoothie, or a green monster, daily will help greatly as it is a great source of antibiotics, vitamins and minerals. They commonly include kale or spinach, berries, a banana or two, flax seed oil and any other fruit or vegetable you see fit to add.

STEAM INHALATION

Steam inhalation is your best bet at relieving congestion, and it will help promote drainage from the sinuses. After bringing a pot of water to boil add a few drops of eucalyptus oil, as well as a few drops of peppermint essential oil. Hang your head over the top and put a bath towel over as you breathe the steam for several minutes. Be careful not to burn yourself and you should feel results in a few minutes. Be prepared with some Kleenex or paper towel though, as there could be a great amount of discharge being released from your nose.

WARM COMPRESS

Using a warm compress can also help promote drainage and open your sinuses. After running a wash cloth under warm to hot water, place a few drops of eucalyptus oil on your face above your sinuses and lay the wash cloth across your face. After a few minutes you should feel the sinuses begin to open. Blow your nose to release any discharge.
