Effective Home Remedies For Sinus Pressure Relief

One of my clients had reported that he had been suffering from sinus pressure for decades. He always felt stuffy, had frequent sinus headaches, difficulty breathing and was often in serious pain when he traveled by airplane. He said he had been treating this problem with decongestants regularly, but they only offered limited and temporary relief.

I created a special blend of therapeutic-grade essential oils for him to topically apply to his sinus areas using oils that promoted respiratory tract health. Within one month he was able to stop depending on over-the-counter medications, which weren’t really working anyway, and could actually breathe freely for the first time in years. He was sleeping better, and not suffering from the side-effects of the medications he used to take, which he didn’t even realize were a result of these medications.

To make an essential oil blend for sinus pressure relief, blend the following oils in a small dropper bottle with 1/2 oz of almond oil:

* Peppermint – 2 drops
* Eucalyptus – 4 drops
* Basil – 4 drops
* Lavender – 2 drops

Apply to forehead, nose, cheeks and temples just a drop or two at a time for sinus pressure relief, several times per day. Do not get in eyes or take internally, and only use therapeutic-grade organic essential oils for best results.

While experiencing occasional sinus pressure is rarely serious, if you suffer severe pain or pressure, or if these treatments fail to offer relief, consult a doctor to rule out another condition. Taking care of your sinuses may be a foreign concept to some, as it is more common to treat symptoms rather than prevent the true causes of certain ailments. Breathing is such a foundational element of your well being, and proper care of your sinus cavities will ensure not only pain and pressure free breathing, but contribute to your overall health as well.
