Posted By: Saiera Hilton | Posted On: 2008-08-27 | Article ID: 88854

Sinusitis can be explained as a condition in which a person experiences severe and acute inflammation in the air-filled cavities present inside the human skull. Sinusitis may attack people of any age and sex. Children suffering from chronic disease like pain in ears, cold, and other viral diseases are prone to sinusitis. Asthmatic patients are also at higher risk of sinusitis.

Fenugreek

Another effective home remedy for sinusitis is the seeds of fenugreek. You can prepare a tea by boiling one teaspoon of the fenugreek seeds in two hundred and fifty milliliters of water till it has reduced in half. This will help the body to produce perspiration, shorten the period of fever once it has reached the acute stage of the disease and dispel toxicity. You can take up to four cups of this tea on a daily basis. As your condition improves, you should reduce the quantity that you use.

Put couple drops of sesame oil (available at grocery stores and oriental markets) into your nostrils twice daily.

Massage your face - with your eyes closed, use your fingers to wipe circles from your forehead down past your nose to your jaw, then back up over the temples to your forehead again. Repeat 10 to 20 times, then go in the opposite direction.

Make the air in your home more moist.
Inhale steam for immediate relief, take a hot water shower.
Drink lots of liquids, at least 8-10 glasses of water everyday.

Boil a teaspoon full of mustard seeds and in a glass of water until the water content reduces to half. Allow it to cool a little. With the help of a dropper, put 3-4 drops in the nose.

Cumin seeds are also used in curing sinusitis. Take a teaspoon of cumin seeds in a perforated cotton cloth. Inhale the cumin fragrance.

Cinnamon seeds are very effective in curing sinusitis. Take 1-2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder; add a little amount of water to it. Apply this paste over the head and nose.

Cumin Seeds: A teaspoon of black cumin seeds tied in a thin cotton cloth can provide relief when inhaled.
Vegetable Juices: Carrot juice in combination with juices of beet and cucumber, has been found beneficial in the treatment of sinus trouble.

Breathe warm, moist air from a steamy shower, a hot bath, or a sink filled with hot water. Avoid extremely cool, dry air. Consider using a humidifier to increase the moisture in the air in your home.

Use saltwater nasal washes (saline lavage or irrigation) to help keep the nasal passages open and wash out mucus and bacteria. You can purchase saline nose drops at a pharmacy or make your own saline solution at home. It may also help to gargle with warm salt water by using one teaspoon of salt per pint of water.

The liberal use of mangoes during the season is considered an effective remedy for prevention and treatment of sinusitis. Mangoes contribute towards formation of healthy epithelium, thereby preventing frequent attacks of common infections like sinusitis.
