Home Remedies for Sinus |

Horseradish clears sinus congestion
The cold that lingers may not be just a cold. You may have a sinus infection. Using decongestant nasal sprays too much, smoking, and swimming or diving can also increase your risk of getting sinusitis.
Sinus infections can be either acute or chronic. An acute sinus infection follows on the heels of a cold or a bout of hay fever. Chronic sinus infections persist for three months or longer.
There are no foolproof cures, but fortunately, there are simple herbal home remedies and alternative treatments that can help keep the infection at bay.
Aromatherapy steam therapy
Aromatherapy is therapeutic for sinus headaches because of the duel actions of the analgesic, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties and the relaxing calming effect the oils have on the mind.
Some good oils to use in a steam inhalation would be anise, eucaluptus, peppermint and juniper. See more about using essential oil therapies.
