For sinusitis


 Sometimes the stuffy, pressured, my-head going to explode feeling is triggered by heated air & humidity, not actual congestion. When this happens, the rules get tossed.
Shut off the humidifier, turn down the thermostat, cool air helps. Cold, dry air helps the best. When you go back inside, back comes the stiffness. Sucking on a menthol drop helps too, just the sensation of coolness clears your sinuses. Of course, if it’s the real deal, you can tell from tissues that your head is a mucus fiesta & you feel like you’re breathing through a mask, don’t let it get worse.
Take a deep breath, even if it is through your mouth & do this. Wash out your nose with a neti pot. It looks like a genie lamp. Just fill it with salt water & rinse your sinuses, pouring the water in one nostril & letting it run out through the other if you’ve never tried this, it may sound weird, but it is not uncomfortable & above all it will relieve your of your problem !
