Sinus congestion, often caused by infections or allergens, can be alleviated with natural health methods that promote drainage and reduce inflammation. Nasal saline sprays clear mucus, restoring airflow. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil loosens secretions, easing pressure. Warm compresses over sinuses reduce swelling. Spicy foods, like horseradish, stimulate mucus flow. Hydration thins secretions, aiding clearance. These evidence-based approaches, grounded in respiratory physiology, enhance sinus health by targeting mucus buildup and inflammation, providing effective relief without synthetic drugs and supporting the body’s natural healing processes for lasting comfort.
