Home remedies for clearing sinuses focus on reducing inflammation and promoting mucus drainage naturally. Hydration with warm fluids like herbal tea thins mucus, aiding its removal. Steam inhalation from a bowl of hot water loosens congestion, while saline nasal rinses flush irritants and allergens. Spicy foods, such as horseradish, stimulate sinus drainage. Elevating the head during sleep prevents mucus pooling, and warm compresses on the sinuses reduce pressure by improving circulation. These methods leverage the body’s natural defenses to clear sinuses without the side effects of over-the-counter medications.
