2. Listen up because this works INSTANTLY. You need to get to a store that carries essential oil, it is probably a health food store. If you don’t have a health food store in your area, then you will have to get these essential oils online. Get essential oils of lavender, peppermint and eucalyptus, put several drops of each one, one on top of the other, on a tissue, hold the tissue up to your nose and inhale deeply. Continue this until the sinuses are open. You may have to do it several times a day. This works very well. You will feel better in seconds.

3. This remedy is sort of a combination of the other two. Bring a couple of quarts of water to a boil, then turn off the heat. Mix 12-18 drops of eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils into the water. Cover your head and the pot of water witha towel and breath through the nose and mouth several times. Do this as often as needed throughout the day.

Use one or all of these remedies to relieve your sinus congestion. At the same time as you are working on these remedies, drink some peppermint tea with a little lemon in it. Use some of this tea to make a compress to your sinus areas. You may need to cover your eyes or keep them shut while using these remedies to keep them from being irritated. These remedies are time tested, give them a try.
