Answer: Try this :
1) Do not suppress a cold, flu, sore throat, infected tonsils, or other acute disease. Go to bed, take juices and pallid meals, rest, and get resourcefully. When suppressed, the phlegm does not flow out, but hardens in the sinuses and trouble begin.
2) Take a short fast on citrus juices, vegetable juice, and herb teas. Drink lots of water and juices.
3) As soon as you are competent, begin eating healthy food, especially vegetables, fruits, nuts, and beans. Drink fresh carrot juice every day.
4) Eliminate meat, dairy products, white flour foods, and sugar.
5) Do not use trunk drops; they aggravate the situation by stopping the drainage and hardening the mucous. Decongestants also increase blood pressure.
6) Hot liquids comfort the sinuses flow out their contents.
7) Helpful herbs to reduce sinus congestion would include comfrey, slippery elm, fenugreek, mullein, aloe vera, yerba santa, red clover, and white oak yelp.
8) Garlic contains a chemical which makes mucous less sticky. Horseradish have it also. Cayenne acts in a somewhat similar behaviour. Peppermint tea also helps open up the sinus passageways.
9) Add crushed garlic cloves to 4 cups wet; remove from the heat after coming to a boil. Cool and gradually drink. This will relief clean out the sinuses and lower stuffiness.
10) Heat on the sinuses helps relieve dull pain. This can be hot wet compresses, a heat kerosene lamp, a 60-watt light bulb, or a heating wad.
11) A variation of this is: Twice a day, lean over a tub of hot water with a towel draped over your lead (or stand in a hot shower). Inhale the vapors as they waft up toward your nose. If you are at work, lay down a cup of something hot; and, leaning over, sniff up the moisture.
12) Some prefer cold applications to the sinuses, instead of hot ones. Put crushed ice contained by a plastic sack, wrap in a moist towel, and place over the sinus which hurts. At the same time, hold the feet in hot wet. This will help draw blood from the sinus area. However, the hot method is better for draining the sinuses.
13) Mix 1 tsp. of saline with 2 cups warm hose. Pour it into a small glass; and, holding back your cranium, sniff it up into one nostril (as you pinch the other one closed). Repeat for the other side.
14) Rubbing your sore sinuses brings a fresh supply of blood to the area. Press your thumbs firmly on either side of your muzzle and hold for 15-30 seconds.
15) Sit with your manager between your knees. Cough gently as though you were clearing your throat. Then hold your breath for a minute or so, as the mucous slowly drains. Then placidly inhale. Be sure you are drinking enough fluids when you do this.

17) Between meal every day, take six charcoal tablets near water. This will help remove toxins. Only do this during the crisis, or it can end in temporary constipation.
18) It is better to sniffle than to blow your nose. If you must blow, singular blow lightly and through one nostril at a time.
19) A humidifier will help maintain sinuses moist indoors during the winter months. A humidity of 40-50% will increase sinus comfort.
20) Avoid cold, damp living, working, and sleeping quarters..
