home remedies for sinus headache????
Public Comments
1. Ice pack on the sinus, area or try HEADON sinus it works for me2. A hot shower helps loosten the muck in your sinuses. It works great for me, then use Sinutab and it will clear it right up.
3. best home remedy is steam inhalation.this is bcoz it helps in draining the secretions that have accumulated in sinuses.if secretions are not allowed to drain,then it is a vicious cycle,bcoz those secretions further cause more infection.so u can drain them by steam inhalation and also by repeated blowing of ur nose.also pranayam can b helpful,once u drain the accumulated secretions
4. I have suffered from sinus problems for years, always on the right side.
Once, I spent an entire year fighting one infection after another with antibiotics, steroid nasal inhalers, steroids, expectorants, you name it. After a year, I was sent to a specialist because my x-rays were so bad.
He sent me for an MRI, & he told me he had not seen a case this bad in his entire career. He explained that most people suffer in the 3 main sinuses, but that I had all 5 cavities completely blocked.
He said I needed surgery. This doctor was a very funny guy; he always had me laughing, no matter how bad the situation was. When I asked him how they would do the surgery, & what would they do, he said "we have to drill some holes in your head." My eyebrows went up & I asked how he would do that. He said, "oh, Black & Decker makes good drills, & we'll just put the entire drill up your nose and...." I said, "I'm outta here." :)
He did a great job, so I can usually avoid doctors when the right side flares up. I do take Guaifenisen, but the doctor told me how to get it without a prescription. He said to take Robitussin cough medicine, the one with only one ingredient in it...Guaifenisen.
He also taught me some home tricks.
1) Buy a sinus cleanser. It's basically a soft plastic bottle with a long nozzle on it. Then you buy saline solution (not the kind for contact lenses). Both of these can be bought in most pharmacies.
Pour the saline solution into the bottle. You lean over the sink and hold your mouth open. Insert the nozzle into your nostril and squeeze the bottle firmly. It floods your sinuses & pours out of your nose & mouth into the sink.
I know this does not sound appealing at all, but it works wonders!!!
2) Buy a steam inhaler. You put your lower face over it, nose & mouth and simply breathe the hot steam directly into your sinuses.
No shower or towel over head & sink works like this does.
3) For pain, I always keep my head elevated & put hot compresses on the area that hurts.
4) I do take the expectorant Guaifenisen if the first 2 solutions don't help. However, 98% of the time, they will knock out the sinus infection.
I hope some of this was helpful to you, and I hope you feel better.
5. ayurved has home remidies u better search on net u will get it and it is more easy and u will get ur exact answer
6. jus a simple steam inhalation
7. Do jal neti in the morning with warm water with salt. At night do steam inhaling for 10 minutes every night. It may take about six months to get cured.
8. There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help you.
If you suffer from cough use warm water, steamed beans, boiled vegis, roasted beans and salads. Avoid all cold foods/drinks, fats, sweets, sour fruits, milk and its' products.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
