Aromatherapy for Sinus Attacks and Relief
January 6, 2010
Sinus pains are normally treated in two ways. Anti biotic treatments take precedence over home and natural remedies in the cure of sinus infections.
However, both these treatments have their own set of side effects. Anti biotic treatments reduce the swelling in the blood vessels and cause instant relief; however in a matter of a few weeks the body does not react to the medications.
Two popular home remedies include nasal irrigation and steam treatment. These two help instantly however their effect is short term. In the quest to find a remedy that will have a positive impact on sinus we stumbled upon Aromatherapy. This remedy requires one to use various essential oils in different ways to be able to get relief from sinus related problems.
Aromatherapy uses herbs and in the form of essential oils to reduce pain. In the treatment against sinus; essential oils are effective and help to get rid of congestion, swelling in the face and also watery discharge from the eyes.
Common oils that are used in the treatment of sinus are lavender, eucalyptus and camphor. These oils are mixed with base oils and are massaged onto the neck, face, forehead and chest to get rid of sinus colds and congestion.
How to fight sinus infections with essential oils
As discussed lavender, camphor and eucalyptus oils are used to treat sinus congestion. Lavender oil is known for its anti septic properties. It is also popular for its soothing effects and relaxing properties. Using this oil with a base oil will help to kill the bacteria that cause the sinus infection as well as helps to eliminate the mucus from the body. The aroma off the oil soothes the senses and also relaxes the muscles that get tense during a sinus infection or attack.
Eucalyptus oil is known for its anti viral and anti inflammatory properties. The oil has a menthol base and thus it helps to soothe the irritation and eliminate the mucus when this oil is mixed with camphor it causes a cooling sensation and opens restricted airways to allow breathing.
Bergamot, camphor and oregano boost the immune system and they help to fight infections and hence they are used in the treatment of sinus and other forms of congestion.

I have always wanted to stay with natural treatments. So was glad to see this article. For me I was given a ct scan and needed a procedure and was glad to find balloon sinuplasty. It works to open up the nasal passages so the body can do it’s thing. Alternative solutions are not always offered so it is always good to see them talked about.
Cheers,
