To clear your sinuses, some effective methods include:
- Drink plenty of fluids and use a humidifier to keep the air moist, which helps thin mucus and lubricate sinuses.
- Perform nasal irrigation using a saline solution with a neti pot, squeeze bottle, or bulb syringe to flush out nasal passages safely with sterile or distilled water.
- Breathe in steam from a bowl of hot water or a hot shower to loosen mucus.
- Apply warm compresses to your nose, cheeks, and forehead to relieve pressure and pain.
- Try gentle sinus massage techniques to stimulate drainage.
- Avoid decongestant nasal sprays for more than three days to prevent rebound congestion.
- Drinking hot tea or chicken soup can also help due to steam and anti-inflammatory effects.
These remedies can alleviate sinus congestion and promote drainage naturally.
