this works and gaining popularity coz of its effectiveness ...check the following link... Neti pot for sinus health YouTube - The Official Neti Pot Demo Video
Neets: Also check out the pots on www.healthandyoga.com. I opted for the the steel version which you only have to fill once. The video that you can get with it has a different method of getting the water out of the nose.
I have recurrent sinus problem. When one gets a stuffed nose, one of the quick remedies is to boil one cup water. Add one teaspoon of cinnamon powder to it and allow it to boil for 5 more minutes. Then remove from stove and add 1to 1.5 tablespoon of honey. Then drink it like hot tea. Its very helpful. Another useful treatment is at bedtime, drink a cup of milk boiled with 1/2 tsp turmeric powder. Turmeric has antiseptic properties and this is an age-old home remedy effective to treat sinusitis and infections caused by colds. What I also do when I feel my sinuses are blocked and feel heavy in the morning, I apply deep pressure on the sinus points, press and leave for 20 times with medium strength deeply. The nose secretion will come out in form of cough by this technique so spit it out and don't gulp it back.
Tranquility: Thanks for the tips. Isn't turmeric and milk also good for joint pain? Here are some more tips: Chinese White Flower oil (NOT Red Flower Oil which is used for muscle ache) is good for headaches including migraine and also for sinus problems. You put a drop or two on the forehead. Steam vapoizer is good and when heavily congested you can get natural oils mixture in the pharmacy to put in the water. It has a blend of medicinal oils including eucalytus and you run it in the night when you are sleeping or during the day also. Mullein tea (herbal) is very effective for expelling mucus and stopping cough and it actually tastes pretty good.
