Clearing sinuses naturally focuses on reducing inflammation, thinning mucus, and promoting drainage through effective, non-medicinal methods. Nasal irrigation with saline flushes out mucus and allergens, providing quick relief. Steam inhalation with peppermint or eucalyptus 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 dust or smoke prevents sinus irritation, while elevating the head during sleep supports gravity-assisted drainage and improves sinus health.
