Sinuses

[Carnation]

Anyone else suffering with their sinuses?
Any tips, natural remedies, meds, advice for relief please.

Me! Not at the moment, but I do suffer.

Steam is one of your best friends here. Have hot baths or showers and breathe in the steam as it will help break up the mucus.
Also a hot flannel placed on your face - I would hold it over the sinuses and sometimes push down to get relief.
Olbas oil is great too.
Paracetamol will help briefly.
Lastly, the saline nose sprays are one of the best things to help unblock.

Feel better x

Oh and hot drinks too. Breathe in your chamomile tea steam to help clear the blockages.

Find the point between your eyebrows and press down firmly using your fingertips. This drains the sinuses. (Works for me)

Pressing the underside of your second toe also works.
It's something to do with Reiki.

I didn't say anything


I will now though!

I buy this saline spray when I need 'blockage' relief, which I much prefer to a medicated spray.

I've also found that focusing on NOT mouth breathing tends to clear the sinuses out a bit. Even if you're bunged up, deliberately breathing through the nose sometimes kinda forces your body to clear it out for you.

Oh no! You didn't ankietyjoe, lol.
It was Phil2. Apologies Phil.

Now you have posted, thanks ankietyjoe for helpful advice.

Do you guys have the nasal sinus rinses over there? Like the Neti Pots? Those are life savers for me during allergy season
