Did you know that around 28 million people are diagnosed with sinusitis every year?
Whether the infection is caused by bacteria, viruses, or even allergies, millions of people contract sinus infections that make it hard to perform their normal daily activities.
To help you recover faster naturally the next time you find yourself suffering from sinus symptoms, here are the best ways to help ease your blocked sinuses.
Inhale Steam
Inhaling steam with menthol is a great way to ease congestion.
When you have sinus congestion, steam brings moisture into your sinuses, which helps thin the mucus layer and soothe the inflamed tissue.
Adding menthol to the water also helps kill off bacteria due to its antibacterial properties.
Simply use a menthol that’s suitable for inhalation, add a few drops to your steam source like a pot of hot water or a nebulizer, and inhale the steam into your sinuses.
Colloidal Silver
Colloidal silver is another great natural way to help a sinus infection.
When inhaled, colloidal silver has antimicrobial properties that help kill germs that may be causing your infection.
Make sure that the silver you use is pure nano silver for the best results.
Adding colloidal silver to a nebulizer is a good way to get the silver to the problem areas easily so that it can help reduce inflammation.
Eat Healthy
There’s a reason people reach for soup when they’re sick.
Soups like chicken soup are gentle on your stomach and easily absorbed while keeping you hydrated.
Eating healthy foods, and especially avoiding dairy, will help you get over your sinus infection faster.
When you eat dairy, your body creates more mucus, which doesn’t help if you’re already congested.
It’s important to stay away from foods that are hard to digest or foods that add additional work for your body.
This way your body can focus its energy on fighting the infection and getting back to normal.
Stay Hydrated
It’s always important to stay hydrated, but staying hydrated when you’re sick is one of the best ways to support your body and immune system while it’s stressed.
If drinking plain water isn’t appealing to you while you’re sick, then try drinking herbal tea, or even hot water with lemon and honey.
These are great ways to hydrate while getting extra vitamin C and antioxidants while you’re sick.
Quercetin & Bromelain
Take supplements that support your immune system and help break up sinus congestion like quercetin and bromelain.
Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant that helps with allergies and sinus infections. You can easily take it in capsule form.
Bromelain is an enzyme commonly found in pineapple.
It’s often paired with quercetin in capsule form so that you can easily take both at the same time.
Bromelain helps reduce swelling and pain, especially in the ear, nose, and throat regions, which include your sinuses.
Together, these two supplements can help with your sinus infection symptoms and help support your body so that you can get back to your normal routine faster.
