1. Celestial Seasonings "Sleepy Time" tea. It has chamomile in it, which is great for relaxing muscles. Also, blood thinners like aspirin, spicy foods and vitamin C will do the trick.
2. I saw Dr. Oz (on Oprah) and here's what he said: at any store like Walmart, Walgreens, they have something called a nettie pot. (The pharmacist would know). It looks like a genie lamp. You follow the directions and actually rinse out your nose and sinuses freeing all that junk thats making your sinuses feel pressure and pain. Its great for allergies, colds, anything. Hope it works, and feel better.
3. Spicy food!
Might sound silly but there's really nothing better for clearing your sinuses.
4. apples have natural aspirin in them
Drink a cup of coffee it will open up the blood vessels and relieve the pain. IF you look at any 'headache medicine' (not naming names here) but you will see that caffeine is a main ingredient.
Cherries contain compounds that can relieve headaches
5. The only things that really helped me was when my Dr. told me about a sinus wash that will kill bacteria.
you need
distilled water
sea salt
liquid chlorophyll and colloidal silver from the health food store.
in a glass mix 1/4 cup water with a pinch of salt and heat to body temperature.
add 5 drops each silver and chlorophyll and mix.
using a large dropper (like one used for infant medication) drop 2 full droppersfull into one side of the nose while laying down.
Turn the head and let it drain out the other nostril. Be sure to have paper towels handy.
The silver kills the bacteria and there are several hundred kind that can live in the sinus cavities and anti biotics don't get rid of them all.
Do this twice a day for a week, mixing up the mixture fresh each time.
Then do it once a week for maintenance.
There is nothing in this that will hurt you, and it cured me.
I do not have to take claritin, or antibiotics anymore.
best wishes
