Natural Remedies for Sinus Infections (Sinusitis) and Post Nasal Drip

Sinus Infection, or Sinusitis, is swelling or inflammation of the sinus cavities on the face. When the sinus cavities become blocked with fluid and germs, this can cause an infection to develop. 

Common symptoms include:

• feeling pressure in the head
• headaches
• facial congestion
• nasal discharge
• post nasal drip
• pus in the nasal cavity

Factors that trigger these symptoms:

• environmental allergies
• air pollutants
• cold/flu  
• poor diet
• weakened immune system
• deviated septum

Because there are many varying factors, it can be frustrating to deal with sinusitis. However, there are a number of natural remedies that can be effective. 

In my opinion keeping a strong immune system, maintaining a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and regularly ridding toxins from your body is imperative. The best way to deal with your symptoms is to find what works best for You. Here are a few suggestions:
