5 Ways To Obtain Sinus Allergy Relief

Are you seeking sinus allergy relief?

When you’re experiencing sinusitis and want relief, consider using any of the following methods and remedies.

1. Eat foods that will clear the allergens out of your nasal pathways

When an allergen is irritating your sinuses, do what you can to move that allergen out of the way by increasing secretions. This may sound counterintuitive because with a sinus problem, you have already used up half a Kleenex box, but it works in many cases.

* Cayenne pepper – In herbal school at the School of Natural Healing, students are taught how to use an herb for ‘snorting’. The only herb we practice this with is cayenne. Add enough cayenne pepper powder to fill your anatomical snuffbox, which is located in the web of tissue on your hand between your thumb and forefinger. Using your other hand, press on one side of your nose to close it. Then bring your hand with the cayenne up to the open side of your nose and sniff it.

Get ready for a rush because you will feel it. Instantly the cayenne goes to work healing the tissues and causing them to release whatever allergens they are holding. You’ll have more secretions than you’ve ever had for a few short minutes and then feel the sinus allergy relief.

* Horseradish – This food will also cause your sinuses to release the allergens they are holding. However, you don’t snort it but instead eat it. Always remember that horseradish should not be juiced! Richard Schulze, herbalist from the School of Natural Healing, in one of the classes he taught years ago, told the story of how his wife juiced horseradish, tasted it and passed out on the floor. She was only out for a few seconds and was up immediately afterwards, telling him to try it. He did and passed out as well. Although nothing happened (no long term damage), avoid any possibility of hitting your head and suffering injuries by not juicing horseradish.

* Onions – Cutting onions is always a good way to cleanse allergens from the sinuses.

* Garlic – Eating garlic won’t necessarily clean out the sinuses but it will benefit your immune system.

2. Remove any allergens in your diet

If you are looking for sinus allergy relief, get rid of the foods in your house that you are still allergic to. If you don’t know what the allergies are, go online and order an ALCAT test. This is available at www.alcat.com. Many people believe that allergies cause runny nose (rhinitis) but allergies can cause hundreds of symptoms such as chronic sinusitis, headaches, skin breakouts, fatigue, dark shadows under the eyes, stomachaches, digestive problems, and be related to many other disorders. Buckle down and eliminate all the causes of your sinusitis and get a little sinus allergy relief.
