Summary

Story at-a-glance

Sinusitis affects 31 million Americans annually, with many seeking treatments that cause side effects. Natural remedies will address the inflammation and provide relief without the adverse effects of pharmaceuticals
Your sinuses are eight cavities located in your head that filter and humidify the air you inhale, removing irritants and providing protection from head impacts
Effective home remedies include saline nasal irrigation, steam therapy, staying hydrated, warm compresses, reducing mold exposure, sleeping at an elevated angle, and using humidifiers
Anti-inflammatory foods like garlic, onions, ginger, turmeric, pineapple, chili peppers, horseradish, coconut oil, and citrus fruits help manage sinusitis by reducing congestion and fighting infections
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is another natural solution for treating sinusitis. Research demonstrates it has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties that provide significant relief for patients
