Sinus congestion can leave you feeling heavy-headed and with a stuffy nose. You can shake off the discomfort with some simple home remedies for nasal congestion and blocked sinuses. We show you how!
Warm Compress
Apply a warm compress(wrapped in a soft linen/cotton towel) to your face(especially in the cheeks, eyes, forehead region) to ease the discomfort, promote circulation, and reduce any associated pain from the blocked sinuses.
Steam Inhalation
Inhale steam from a steam machine/vessel with boiled water or just from a hot cup of water or your tea/coffee. You could also try spending a little time while in the bath inhaling the steam produced by the shower. This moist air is beneficial for clearing up sinus or nasal congestion.
Stay Hydrated
Be sure to drink lots of water if you tend to develop sinus congestion. This thins the mucus and keeps it loose. Be sure to drink water throughout your workday as well, by keeping a bottle handy by your desk or work area.
Ensure Your Surroundings Are Not Too Dry
Use a humidifier to keep the ambient air moist. This is important to prevent mucus from becoming too dry and thick and will help make it easier to clear congestion.
Elevate Your Head While Sleeping
To deal with the problem of nasal congestion at night, it is best to sleep with your head elevated a little more than usual. Prop your head up with an extra pillow or rolled-up towel to prevent mucus from pooling in your sinuses while lying down.
Don’t Blow Your Nose Too Hard
Always ease the mucus out gently with the help of steam to loosen it up or by blowing very gently.
Consume Hot Liquids Like Soups
Drink warm water and hot soups – besides hydrating you and helping ease the mucus out of the body by thinning it, they also offer comfort from the warmth.
Saline Nasal Irrigation
One of the nasal congestion treatments for sinusitis is saline nasal irrigation. This can be done by using a nasal solution or a nasal spray. This helps to rinse out the allergy-causing irritants and also clears congestion.
