Sinus drainage at home, often needed for sinusitis or allergies, can be achieved with natural health techniques that clear mucus and reduce swelling. Nasal irrigation with saline flushes irritants, promoting drainage. Steam inhalation with peppermint oil loosens secretions, easing sinus pressure. Warm compresses over sinuses reduce inflammation, aiding mucus flow. Drinking warm fluids thins secretions for easier expulsion. Chewing raw ginger reduces sinus inflammation.
