Eight ways to beat sinus problems

Have you been struggling with sinus infections without realising it? Your nose easily gets congested, becomes runny, you get blocked ears and feel dizzy. The pressure in your face is all-consuming, right down into your ears. Chronic sinus issues cause you to feel the same anguish that people feel when they have diseases typically considered "more serious". Or have you just started suffering from sinus headaches?

"You would do anything for the relief," said Celia Lamb of her sinus problems. "I tried all the drugs, nothing worked. Basically, I get acupuncture when I am completely congested. When I wake up the morning I snot it all out of my head, it comes out in thick lumps like cement, then I am as clear as a whistle and can think clearly, the relief is enormous. The trick is to get treatment on the first tingle."

The following are useful to alleviate sinus trouble.

1. Vitamin C and omega 3 fish oils.

2. Air humidifiers.

3. Water filters.

4. Acupuncture takes away the pain, clears mucus, supports your immune system, builds up your energy, helps sleep, and takes away the stress and anxiety associated with sinus.

5. Reducing your intake of dairy, processed foods, and sugar can help.

6. Essential oils - eucalyptus, rosemary and thyme, white flower oil.

7. Use a nasal wash - mix one cup of filtered or boiled warm water with half or a whole teaspoon of sea salt (do not use normal salt ), and gently clean the sinus passages with a nasal douche.

8. Allergy testing.
