Draining sinuses naturally involves promoting mucus flow and reducing inflammation to relieve pressure. Hydration with warm fluids like broth thins mucus, aiding drainage. Steam inhalation from a hot shower or bowl of water loosens congestion, while saline nasal irrigation flushes irritants. Spicy foods, such as wasabi, stimulate sinus drainage. Elevating the head during sleep enhances mucus flow, and warm compresses on the sinuses improve circulation to reduce swelling. These methods leverage the body’s natural mechanisms to drain sinuses effectively, providing relief without the side effects of medications.
