Clearing a sinus headache naturally involves reducing inflammation and promoting sinus drainage to alleviate pressure and pain. Hydration thins mucus, easing sinus blockages, while steam inhalation moisturizes nasal passages, reducing discomfort. Spicy foods like horseradish stimulate mucus flow, relieving pressure. Nasal irrigation with saline flushes irritants, soothing inflamed tissues. Rest supports immune function, aiding recovery. Avoiding allergens like dust prevents exacerbation. Warm compresses relax facial muscles, easing tension. These methods, backed by studies, target root causes like mucus buildup and inflammation without medication, offering effective relief.
- Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily to thin mucus.
- Inhale steam from a hot shower or bowl for 10 minutes.
- Eat spicy foods like wasabi to stimulate drainage.
- Use a saline nasal rinse twice daily.
- Apply a warm compress to the face for 15 minutes.
