The best way to clear sinuses naturally involves reducing inflammation, thinning mucus, and promoting drainage through evidence-based remedies. Nasal irrigation with saline flushes out mucus and allergens, offering immediate relief. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus or peppermint oil opens nasal passages and loosens secretions. Staying hydrated with water or herbal teas thins mucus, making it easier to expel. Applying warm compresses over the sinuses reduces pressure and encourages drainage. Avoiding irritants like pollen or smoke prevents sinus irritation, while elevating the head during sleep supports gravity-assisted drainage and improves sinus health.
