Natural treatment for Sinusitis
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, which may happen as a result of infection from viral, fungal, bacterial, allergic or autoimmune issues. It accompanies with a running nose, constant sneezing, blockage of nostril and headache. This type of headache usually felt in the forehead and in the area just below the eyes. The patient may suffer from lack of appetite, difficulty in breathing and low grade fever.
Mango is a good source of vitamin A so it is useful for prevention and treatment of sinusitis. Mangoes help in the formation of healthy epithelium, thereby prohibiting frequent attacks of common infections like sinusitis. Mango has high concentration of vitamin A in it. Add mango to your regular diet to get a better result.
The use of acrid foods like garlic and onion is beneficial for sinus problems. Gradually increase the intake by adding these herbs in moderate amounts to regular meals.
The seeds of fenugreek are also effective for sinusitis. Boil1 liter water with 4 tea spoon fenugreek seeds till it is reduced to half, have this daily will help the body to produce perspiration, dispel toxicity, and shorten the period of fever in the acute stage of the disease.

There are things you can do for sinus headaches and sinus pressure relief. I try to find a natural relief first, before turning to over the counter medications. One thing that really helps me is using an aromatherapy eye pillow. It’s great for treating sinus congestion and sinus pressure, stress and anxiety issues as well as insomnia and sleep disorders. What I have to found to work best for me is an eye pillow, right out of the freezer. I use a peppermint scented one because it opens up my sinuses and that helps me to breathe a lot better and helps any sinus or tension related headaches. The cold flax seed inside the eye pillow surrounds my eyes and temples which helps to reduce swelling in the sinus cavities and around the eyes. The weight of the flax seed applies just enough acupressure to soothe and relax my facial muscles. The eye pillow also block out all light, when the pain is so bad it just makes you squint you eyes.
I searched online and found several sites that had them. The one I decided to go with was A Touch Of Satin. I liked them because their ingredients were organic, and that was important to me. They had an unbelievably large selection of patterns and I like the feel of satin on my skin. They also had a page on their site that talked about the benefits of their aromatherapy scents. They also had lavender and that is suppose to be good for migraines. It was very interesting. If you want to check them out, their website is http://www.atouchofsatin.com Well, I hope this helps you. Good luck!
