How to Heal Sinus Infections Naturally
The pain and discomfort of sinus pain, congestion and infection can feel miserable. Here are some natural solutions to healing these issues and preventing further occurrences.
1
Use Chinese herbal formulations to help clear infection and drain the sinuses.
Two classical Chinese formulations, "pe men kan wan" (also known as "te xiao bi min gan wan") and "yu ping feng pian" (also know as Jade Screen) are helpful. You can buy these at your local health food store or from an herbalist.
2
Use dietary strategies to increase your immunity and ability to fight off the infection.
Try adding turnips to your diet by including them in soups or simply steaming them. A stew prepared with green cabbage, turnips and carrots also promotes healing on an anti-oxidant level. While the hot quality of the soup will help open the sinuses.
3
Place a warm gel pack over the sinuses to increase circulation.
Increased circulation can help move out congestion, mucus and help the herbal therapies or antibiotics (if you are taking medications) permeate the tissues of the sinuses more effectively.
4
Use aromatherapy to open the sinuses.
Place the following in an aromatherapy diffuser or to a pot of hot water. 1 tsp of eucalyptus oil, 1 tsp of myrtle or niaouli oil. I tsp of ravensare (anti-viral in nature). Simmer and inhale the fragrance.
Tips & Warnings
As with any natural solution, please consult your physician as to the appropriateness of the solution for your particular body, condition and state of health.
