Herbal Sinus Relief

Whenever possible, it is wise to use herbal remedies over prescription medications for two basic reasons: herbs are proven to work with the body's natural ability to heal, and they are far less expensive than prescription medications.

Steaming

• One of the best ways to get the sinuses open is to lean over a bowl of steaming hot water that contains 10 drops of eucalyptus oil. All that is required is to place a towel over your head to keep the steam in and breathe. This can be repeated as often as necessary to keep the sinuses open.

Teas

• Teas that contain Goldenseal and echinacea will help those with sinus problems feel better. While echinacea doesn't heal, it supports and boosts the immune system. There is no limit to the number of herbal teas consumed.

Herbal Supplements

• Astragalus and garlic are excellent supplements to help heal sinuses. Goldenseal is also available in supplement form.
