Thank you for visiting Herbs and Oils Hub!!

A sinus infection is an inflammation or swelling of your sinuses. Your sinuses are normally filled with air. When the sinuses become blocked and fill up with fluid,they becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, which leads to infection. A bad cold can block the sinuses. So can allergies.

Here are some of the symptoms of a sinus infection:

Pressure or pain around the face and eyes
Headache
Congestion
Thick, yellow nasal discharge
Post-nasal drip
Fever
Cough
Tooth or gum ache in the back molars

This article shares a 3-step process with a total of 14 strategies that will help you to kill that sinus infection naturally. Here are just a couple of the strategies:

Stay hydrated with plain water. This thins out mucus and allows it to drain from the sinuses
Break down Excess Mucus by adding spicy foods (cayenne pepper, or horseradish, or wasabi) with apple cider vinegar and lemon juice. (There’s a nice recipe included). Drink it all down.

I successfully beat a sinus infection in 3 days by taking these steps, several of which are described in the article as well:

Drinking a LOT of filtered water
Drinking the mucus dissolving elixir (made with wasabi)
Steam inhalation many times each day with peppermint oil
Took very hot showers which became another form of steam inhalation
An acupressure exercise using my thumb and tongue that really worked. Read about it here: A Trick to Clear Your Sinuses
