The pushing pain at the base of the nose with the slightest effort or a slight bend seems to radiate to the forehead? Do you suffer from the feeling of blocked nose, inside which there is a thick secretion of a runny nose? Looks like you’ve got sinusitis.
Unless the symptoms last for at least 12 weeks, and there is no purulent secretion or fever, it will do without medical intervention. Home remedies for sick sinuses will help fight persistent ailments.
Source of pain
Narrow openings from the nasal cavity lead to the sinuses, through which air should flow freely together with the secretion produced by the mucous membrane. The production of this secretion increases when the inflammation begins to cover the sinuses and the mucosa becomes emptied. This leads to the feeling of a characteristic, bursting headache.
Optimal hydration
A well-hydrated nasal mucosa effectively separates the nasal cavity from microbes. Moisturization is easiest to gain by leaving a damp towel on the radiator, using an air humidifier and consuming 3 liters of water every day.
Kitchen spices
Warming tea with a slice of ginger or a pinch of cinnamon will unclog your nose, as will putting freshly grated horseradish to your nose and inhaling its pungent odor.
Recommended ointments
Home remedies for sick sinuses also include pharmacy ointments, which should be spread on the surface of the temples and forehead, after which these places should be tied with a warm bandage. Look for camphor, eucalyptus, rosemary, juniper or pine products. This therapy cannot be used by owners of couperose or sensitive skin due to skin burning.
Warm compresses
Compresses will help you deal with the pain at the base of the nose. A good solution is to put 1-2 tablespoons of peas in a sock and then heat it at 60 degrees Celsius, which is easiest to do in the oven. On the other hand, bags with medicinal salt, which can be purchased at the pharmacy, are rich in bromine and iodine compounds that will help to cleanse the nose.
Relief from inhalation
Home remedies for sick sinuses are also inhalations based on 7 tablespoons of salt combined with a liter of water. When the solution is still warm, but no longer scalding, we lean over the pot in which it was spread. By throwing peppermint tea into the still boiling solution, we will improve breathing and fight some bacteria. During inhalation, it is recommended to cover your head with a towel and repeat the procedure twice a day. After 5 days we should feel better.
