4 best natural remedies for sinusitis.

This method I'm about to show you will help to release your sinus infection in 20 seconds.
A stuffy nose often occurs as symptom of another health problem such as a sinus infection or the common cold. Usually, these health problems are minor i.e allergies, nasal polyps, chemical exposure, environmental irritants and hay fever.
When the lining of the sinus cavity gets inflamed due to irritants, bacteria or viruses, your nasal passage swells and gets blocked up, making it hard for you to breath.
Nasal congestion usually clears up within a week, but with this natural remedy you may not wait that long to breath easy again!

Ready to clear your sinuses in 20 seconds and breath easy again? Follow these simple steps:
Push your tongue against the top of your mouth and place your thumb between your eyebrows.
Apply pressure with your thumb for 20 seconds. Your sinuses will begin to drain.

How does it work?
You might be wondering how a little pressure on a bone can lead to a drain of sinuses. There's a scientific reason behind the technique. According to Lisa De Stefano, D.O, an assistant professor at the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, this technique causes the 'vomer' bone to rock back and forth. The back and forth motion loosens the congestion allowing your sinuses to drain.

If the technique mentioned above doesn't work for you, don't rush to a pharmacy just yet! Try this 4 natural home remedies. You may already  have these ingredients at home.

1. Organic apple cider vinegar.

Mix eight ounces of warm water with 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and one tablespoon of honey, or take one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar 3 times daily.
Your sinuses should clear up in a few days.

You could also mix half a cup of apple cider vinegar and half a cup of water, heat it on a stove and inhale the steam with your eyes and mouth closed.

2. Turmeric.

Turmeric contains curcumin which contributes to this spice's anti-inflammatory properties. Sprinkling turmeric on your next meal can help treat the nasal inflammation that's blocking your sinuses.

3. Nasal saline rinse.
This is not the most comfortable solution, but many people rely on saline rinse to clear up their sinuses.
The mixture can consist of a quarter teaspoon of sea/pickling salt and one cup of warm water. This rinse gets poured through one nostril and out of the other to clear sinuses.
If you have never done a saline rinse before, ask someone for assistance and read and follow the instructions on the package very carefully.

4. Oregano oil.

Oregano oil isn't as widely available or as cheap as the other natural remedies, but if you happen to get it, simply ingest it, or steam it on a stove and inhale it to effectively clear up your sinuses. This oil is an effective sinus infection treatment.

I have tried out some of this remedies myself and they worked very well! They have also helped me stay away from pharmaceuticals and save a lot of my money.
