7 Herbal Sinus Solutions For Your Sinus Problems

Sinus problems can take the joy out of your life. But you can get that joie de vivre back by using these herbal remedies for sinusitis. In this repertoire of herbs for sinusitis, a key herb supports the immune system and others help alleviate sinusitis symptoms.

immune support

Echinacea grows like a purple echinacea and is at the top of the list of immune-enhancing herbs. In addition to stimulating the immune system, it heals wounds, relieves inflammation, and fights bacteria and viruses. Due to the antibacterial effects, it must be taken regularly for three weeks to calm an infection, but then it stops. After 3 weeks it may lose its therapeutic effect.

Or you can stop taking Echinacea sooner if you take Echinacea daily for 3-4 more days after the infection clears up.

Echinacea can have these two unwanted effects, but they occur very rarely:

People with a ragweed allergy may also be allergic to echinacea.

Because it is an immune stimulant that causes excessive activity of the immune system, it can increase allergy symptoms.

Here is the second powerful herb to eliminate those sinus miseries:

Ginseng fights sinusitis and supports the adrenal glands. If allergies aggravate sinus problems, the adrenal glands become even more overloaded and eventually cannot keep up with the demands on them. As adrenal gland decline progresses, sinus problems worsen. But with the help of ginseng, the adrenal glands can recover and help overcome chronic sinus problems.

And guess what? Ginseng has great “side effects,” including increased stamina and energy, and can help clear brain fog. These “side effects” certainly add a great advantage to your herbal regimen.

But a word of caution: if you have high blood pressure, consult your doctor before taking ginseng.

Loosen mucous congestion with these herbal remedies for sinusitis:

thyme

Put a quarter cup of lemon thyme in four cups of water.

Bring this solution to a boil.

Carefully inhale the steam to loosen congestion.

(Do not burn yourself)

Prayed

Mullein and balm of Gilead

Add two tablespoons of mullein and one tablespoon of balm of Gilead to the boiling water.

Carefully inhale the steam.

Or just before going to bed, drink some mullein tea. In addition to mobilizing the mucous membranes, it also calms inflammation, which soothes irritated nerves, helping to relieve pain and induce sleep.

Fenugreek helps the sinuses in two ways.

Benefit #1: Helps destroy the infection.

Benefit #2: facilitates mucous membrane drainage by softening tenacious mucosa.

Make some fenugreek tea:

Simmer two tablespoons of crushed fenugreek seeds in two cups of water. Allow this solution to steep for about half an hour, and then strain it. Now take one tablespoon of the juice of one onion and one tablespoon of lemon juice and add them to this concoction. Drink several cups throughout the day. Give those germs a double whammy with the fenugreek and onion juice.

Combat the allergy symptoms that accompany it

Stinging Nettles help relieve symptoms by acting as an antihistamine and can be especially useful as an herbal remedy for sinusitis when allergies cause sinus problems.

If you want to multiply the great effects of Stinging Nettles, take it together with quercetin.

Technically, quercetin is a bioflavonoid found in fruits and vegetables. It works in conjunction with vitamin C to block histamine and calm other inflammatory reactions associated with allergies.

Continue taking this combination of nettles and quercetin for at least two weeks because the inflammatory process can take that long to subside before you notice any relief from symptoms.
