More Natural Remedies for a Sinus Infection - Blog Entry

13 Mar 2009 02:09 PM

You've listed some great ideas here and I will try them. Yes, there are things you can do for sinus pressure and sinus congestion. I always try to find natural relief first, in order to avoid turning to any over the counter medications. One thing that really helps me is using an aromatherapy eye pillow. It's great for sinus headaches due to sinus pressure, as well as stress and anxiety issues. What I have to found to work best for me is an eye pillow, right out of the freezer. I use a peppermint scented one because it opens up my sinuses and that helps me to breathe a lot better and helps any sinus or tension related headaches. The cold flax seed inside the eye pillow surrounds my eyes and temples which helps to reduce swelling in the sinus cavities and around the eyes. The weight of the flax seed applies just enough acupressure to soothe and relax my facial muscles. The eye pillow also block out all light, when the pain is so bad it just makes you squint you eyes. I searched online and found several sites that had them. The one I decided to go with was A Touch Of Satin. I liked them because their ingredients were organic, and that was important to me. They had an unbelievably large selection of patterns and I like the feel of satin on my skin. They also had a page on their site that talked about the benefits of their aromatherapy scents. They had lavender and that is suppose to be good for migraines. It was very interesting. If you want to check them out, their website is http://www.atouchofsatin.com Well, I hope this helps you and thanks for all the great insight you always seem to have on this site. Good luck!
