A sinus infection or Sinusitis, is infection and inflammation of the sinuses as result of bacterial or viral antigen attack; in some cases Sinusitis is a result of auto-immune disorder, however, no matter how it is caused, nasal infections can make your life a living hell. Natural remedies can help you cure the problem without having any negative effects or doing the rounds of an ENT hospital.
How to Treat Sinusitis
Apple Cider Vinegar
This is one of the most simple and effective home remedies to treat nasal infections. It thins down the accumulated mucous and once the mucous is removed the nasal infection becomes much easier to handle and cure.
There are several ways to take apple cider vinegar. You may drink it daily as a tonic. Mix with some honey in case you are unable to drink the diluted form of apple cider vinegar.
Garlic
Garlic is present in most households and is an excellent remedy for sinusitis. Laboratory tests have confirmed that the presence allicin, an active chemical, makes garlic a strong antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent. Garlic helps to fight the sinusitis causing microbes and clears the blocked passages.
You may drink fresh garlic juice (mix it with some other juice to make it palatable) or opt for garlic capsules. You can also inhale garlic vapors. Chop up some garlic and add it to steaming hot water and inhale the vapors twice daily.
Yoga Postures
Yoga postures can help cure sinusitis; however you must not expect it to work in one day. One needs to practice the yoga postures daily in order to see some good results. Yoga helps to increases blood circulation in the head region and opens blocked nasal passages.
The yogic postures that you must practice are- Surya Namaskar, Uttan Padasana, Dhanurasana, Matsyasana, and Shavasana. You must also practice breathing exercises which allows the lungs to work freely and clears the airways, and relieves one from runny noses and kills anaerobic microbes.
It has been scientifically proven by researchers of Karolinska institute that uttering the term “OM” for some time, can also help cure the problem. The reverberating sound strengthens the sinuses and helps in breathing. Fulares Portabebes

Diet Intake
Diet can help you cure the sinusitis problem because a diet high in anti-oxidant properties helps to strengthen the immunity. Foods rich in vitamin C, Vitamin E and Vitamin A should be included in your diet. All these 3 vitamins are extremely powerful anti-oxidants.
Foods rich in omega-3-fatty acids like mackerel, sardine, tuna, cod etc. have anti-inflammatory properties and must be taken at least 4 times a week, but in case you’re allergic to fish do not take it. You may also incorporate decongesting foods in your diet. These foods help to open up the nasal airway and promote breathing. Onion, horseradish and spices are examples of decongesting foods.
What not to Eat
It is a fact that the presence of certain allergens in our diet may also trigger sinusitis. The most common allergic foods are milk and its various derivatives (cheese, butter etc) nuts, eggs, fish and gluten derivatives (gluten flour, gluten pasta etc). It is essential that you understand what you’re allergic to and stay away from them.
Grapefruit Seed Extract
Some sinusitis patients have tried this remedy and have benefitted from it too. Drink 2 teaspoons of grapefruit seed extract. This will remove the microbes and also help in breathing. However, this extract tastes terrible so make sure you either mix it with something like honey or clip your nose close while taking it.
