Sinus infection or sinusitis is caused by inflammation of the mucous membrane.
As a result air and mucous gets trapped inside the sinus cavities and sometimes a vacuum is created.
In either case there is an increased pressure against the sinus walls causing a lot of pain and misery.
You can treat sinus infection with antihistamines, decongestants, combination medicines and corticosteroids.
But such treatments are costly and often have a lot of harmful side effects.
However if you treat this condition with natural remedies you will spend much less, will not experience any side effects and will provide yourself with a permanent relief in the process.
Essential natural remedy is the water.
Drink lots of water with some apple cider vinegar and Oregano oil.
Also drink basil tea and hot lemonade.
Lemonade has many anti viral elements while basil tea provides excellent aroma therapy.
Steam inhalation often works wonders, add some vinegar, Tea Tree or Peppermint oil to the hot water for quicker results.
In the case of small children, use mildly warm water with just a tad of vinegar and/or essential oil.
For them this is equally effective and at the same time safer as the steam or the hot water may burn their gentle skin.
Use natural decongestants like salt solution, baking soda or grapefruit seed extract solution.
Massage your forehead and face with your hands wetted with olive oil.
Take warm showers and let the water hit your face directly.
Avoid dust and temperature extremes, use air conditioners and humidifiers.
Change all your linen as often as possible and clean furniture properly.
