[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Throbbing pain in the head, pressure around your eyes, cheeks or forehead and pain that gets worse when you bend over are typical of a sinus headache.
The sinuses are lined with a type of skin called mucous membrane. This membrane protects the body by producing mucus, which catches dirt and other particles that cause illness. The lining of the sinuses can swell if a person has an allergic infection.
Sinus can create pressure and throbbing headache with stinging pain. In addition to migraine, it is the sinus headache that sends us running for painkillers.
A person can treat sinus pressure with medication and antibiotics, but before turning to antibiotics try these sinus pain home remedies to help ease achiness and nasal congestion.
Steam up your face
The dried up mucus in the nasal cavity and sinus passage can form crusts. One of the most effective home remedies is to warm up and moisturize your sinus passageways. Inhaling steam will help the mucus to get thin and get moving.
To do so, you can simply stand in a steamy shower and breathe deeply. It will help in opening your nasal passage and soothe the sinus headache. You can also boil a pot of water and trap the steam by putting a towel over your head. If you wish, you can also add a few drops of essential oils; eucalyptus oil can help open the nose, while lavender essential oil or chamomile essential oil will calm you.
Spicy Food
Spicy foods are known to alleviate sinus symptoms. We get running nose after eating anything spicy. This is because there is an active ingredient known as capsaicin in spicy pepper, which is known to be a natural pain reliever, according to some reports.
Add ginger in your tea
Ginger has natural anti-inflammatory properties. Hot tea made by adding crushed ginger is a soothing and pressure-reducing treatment for your sinus headache. It will also help relieve sinusitis symptoms like a sore throat, particularly if you add some honey. The spicy flavour of ginger can also help in reducing sinus pressure pain as it promotes nasal drainage.
Stay hydrated
This one is a no-brainer. Keep the mucous membranes in the sinuses moist by drinking plenty of fluids. This helps them to work properly.
Warm washcloth compression
This is one of the easiest. Applying heat to the sinus area can also help to relieve pressure. This can be done by putting warm pressure on your face by using a warm washcloth.
Placing it on your eyes and nose can help to break up any blockage and it will provide relief to pain.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
