Sinus headaches?

Question

I get sinus headaches all the time. Usually taking medicine will take care of it. Does anyone know of any natural cures for a sinus headache??

Answer 1

I've heard that using a nasal spray of saline mist (salt, basically) will help keep you from getting these headaches. Would that help? The Germans also suggest brewing strong chamomile 'tea' (with whole flowers when possible) and inhaling the steam vapors from that.

You can usually get whole dried chamomile flowers from a health food store. Put them into a large heatproof bowl and add boiling water to just cover the flowers. Stir a little. Use a towel to make a 'tent' over the bowl and put your head in under this little tent. That way, the steam doesn't all escape without being of benefit to you first. Breathe through your nose, of course. Keep at this until there's not much steam left. Repeat it twice a day until your sinuses are better.

Answer 2

I get those all the time try this Inhaling steam from a through of water soothes inflammed sinus cavities.
Fill the through with water and put your head eight inches above with a towel over your head. Breath deeply and slowly for ten minutes,
And do this three times a day to get natural sinus cure.

Answer 3

You can press on the sinus reflexology points on your feet. Under the pads towards the end of your toes. Not the tips or ends but just under. Exact location can be found on a reflexology picture.

Answer 4

To prvent a sinus headache, try and sniff up a little water up your nose a couple of times a day , and keep a clean dust free house...

Answer 5

I would recommend consulting a naturopath to find out why your sinuses are out of balance. No sense treating a symptom!! If you can't find one in your area, check out www.trinityschool.org. They have graduates listed by state on their web site.

Answer 6

Don't laugh at this answer, but I've read that it can help. Humming for a few minutes vibrates the nasal passages and can help.
