Sinusitis can be painful, and not just literally. For many,

taking antibiotics as a sinusitis treatment can alleviate the

symptoms but not the pain. So there is another substance then to

take-- the painkillers-- in the form of aspirin or other drug

formulas that provide potent effect to relieve aches. Taking

these scientifically-proven formulas may not guarantee safety,

although, to the full extent, they may be effective.But to some,

they take the medications with full awareness; while others, they

want the alternatives that could guarantee safety in ingesting.

Now, there are certain remedies for treating sinusitis without

resorting to buying prescribed drugs from the pharmacies. These

sinusitis treatments are deemed natural that they may require you

little to no cost to obtain. You can even use certain tools

ubiquitous in your homes. When we refer "tools",it does not mean

the levers or the wedge in the workshop, but certain things found

in homes such as in the kitchen or in the toiletry cabinets

providing leverage in use for remedying sinusitis

Chicken soup has been known to help in remedying colds. But have

you added spices to your soup? Spices are not just ingredients to

provide aroma and added taste to dishes. Such prime examples as

garlic and onions can't be left out.

Garlic is known to induce antibacterial activity as well as

antifungal and antiviral properties. This spice can help in

discharging mucus during sweating but the downside of this is the

pungent smell that emits from the body caused by the substance

found in it. The root crop that comes in a bulb is part of the

onion family, so it may not be surprising that onion can have the

same quality as garlic in remedying sinusitis.

If you fancy spicy foods, then you may be in for another

treatment. Certain species of pepper can help in diminishing the

symptoms of sinusitis. Cayenne pepper, to be specific, has

capsicum that triggers sweating. And when one sweats,it

stimulates the release of mucus from the lungs.

Garlic, cayenne peppers and onions are just the spices that can

be found in the kitchen for use in relieving symptoms of

sinusitis. They may be even found in your backyard if your hobby

is vegetable gardening. Now, talking about vegetables, certain

edible harvests can help in treating sinus infection.

Carrots, beets and cucumbers may be deemed as hybrids of fruits

and vegetables but they are more seen as vegetables. These

vegetables are known to contain significant portion of Vitamin
A and C. These vitamins can help in maintaining balance in the

immune system, so it may be reasonable to eat these vegetables.

But if you like them in juice, a juicer can be used to benefit

from the vitamins.

Juicer is just among the tools referred here for use in sinusitis

treatment. If you have a Neti pot in your kitchen, then that can

be filled with water to perform a method called nasal irrigation.

This method is known the cleanse the nose. On the other hand, the

traditional method in initial treatment of sinusitis is placing

warm damped clothe on the forehead especially when sinus

infection is accompanied with fever.

The natural remedies mentioned may be effective for chronic

sinusitis. For sinusitis caused by viral infection, it may be

important to see the doctor for prescribed solution. Although

they are deemed natural, it is important to take certain caution

in taking or using them. Vegetable juices may provide medicinal

benefits but spices can have some unfavorable effects.
