A sinus infection can be cleared naturally with methods that reduce inflammation and promote drainage. Nasal irrigation with a saline solution flushes mucus and bacteria, aiding recovery. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil loosens secretions, opening sinus passages. Consuming garlic, rich in allicin, fights bacterial infections causing sinusitis. Drinking warm herbal teas hydrates and thins mucus, easing pressure. Using a humidifier keeps sinuses moist, preventing mucus buildup. These physiologically sound techniques leverage the body’s natural healing processes to clear sinus infections without antibiotics, providing effective relief and supporting respiratory health.
