Sinus relief


Ahhhh-chooo! Sniff-sniff

Having a running nose often? Annoyed? Me too and so does over 35 million people around the world. Its sinus. There are a lot of causes of sinus. Sinusitis can be caused by colds, allergies, problems with your immune system or structural problems in the nasal cavities. Any infection of the nasal passages that cause it to swell can affect the opening of the sinuses. I got mine from both of my parents. Awesome present man. Thus, I have the ability to finish a box of 200 ply tissue in just 2 days if my sinus goes ku-ku.

Anyways, throughout the years, I have a couple ways to relief sinuses =)

1~ Avoiding smoke and pollution (dust), you are helping to keep the nasal passageways clear to expel this fluid.

2~ Steamy warm air from humidifier, face steamer, bath or hot beverages gives you temporary relief because dry air makes sinus issue even worse. You can also use a bowl of steaming water and add some essential oil, put a towel over your head and breathe in the steaming water for about 10 minutes.

3~Spice up your food helps to drain and unclogged your nasal cavity. Add a bit of pepper, hot salsa, chillies in your food provides some relief.

4~ Water! Drinking water is very essential as it keeps secretions thinner, allowing them to be removed easily without pain from sinus congestion.

5~ Boost immune systen with vitamins. Vitamin C is well known for boosting immune system. You can add supplements to your diet or eating more food which contains high concentration of Vitamin C such as lemon, kiwi, green leafy vegetables, broccoli, papaya, orange and strawberries!

6~ Eat right and sleep well is very helpful. Your body will be better able to fight off sinus infections before they occur.
