try daily steams with eucalyptis oil added to the water. and try to limit dairy as this causes more mucus to build up and can worsen your symptoms. also try acupressure techniques (like squezing in bewteen the eyebrows-eyesocket area, beside each nostril) for lessening symptoms

Sinus infections cannot be cured by home remedies. However, people can use home remedies to lessen their discomfort. Inhaling steam from a vaporizer or a hot cup of water can soothe inflamed sinus cavities. Another treatment is saline nasal spray, which can be purchased in a pharmacy. A hot water bottle; hot, wet compresses; or an electric heating pad applied over the inflamed area also can be comforting

i would say use a neti pot. then start taking some olive leaf to heal the infection and build up your immunity.

I actually just got over one! I cant believe it went away. I used a Netti pot with golden seal in it. golden seal is like a antibacterial. I also used Kold Kare, i bought it from a local natural store. feel better!

Bromelain reduces inflammation and fluid retention and help shrink swollen sinuses during attacks of sinuitis.
Hot chicken soup is a proven cold chaser.
Eat garlic, onions, chile peppers and horseradish, theses are natural decongestants(if you have stuffy nose).
Eucalyptus is great,the scent will soothe and relax you while the oil open your respiratory passages and ease the headache causing congestion.
Try a cup of ginger tea 1 or 3 times a day.it strenghten the immune system and increase circulation and kill germs that cause sinus infections.
Irrigating your nose with saltwater is the best way to relieve both acute and chronic sinusitus,mix1/2 teas of table salt into a glass of warm water.put the solution in a spray bottle or an ear syringe, then lean over a sink spray the solution into your nostrils,gently blow your nose.
