Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 In my experience with sinus headaches I look to where the pain is and massage it out. There are also pressure points. I have few client that come in with sinus headaches and I work on massaging it out and it is not comfortable but they leave my office with thier sinuses draining and are able to get over it much quicker. I do this for some of my other co-workers and the children I with. It is great! I also use it on my kids. My daughter is very prone to sinus issues and that seems to work better than all the cold meds in the world! Also warm moist towel over the effected area to help break it up seems to help and then alternate to cold for the pain if needed. Boil some euculiptus (sp?) with water in a pan. It helps clear things up too! take care of you~ Lisa~ , " jewelfan78 <wintersbutterfly@h...> " <wintersbutterfly@h...> wrote: > Hello :-) I am new to the list... and a frequent sinus headache > sufferer... such to the point where my forhead gets swollen over my > eyebrows...

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Yep. I agree with what you wrote below. The point seems to be to get the sinuses to drain. I have also found using a face humidifier to be very effective. I have a unit. You put water in the little container at the bottom and then the face thing sits on top and you put your face into it. A pot of hot water with a towel draped over your head would come close. I forgot to say in my Intro that I managed a health food store in the past too.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 I have sinus problems quite a bit as well......so much that I've been sent home from work (it's hard to get a Sargeant or Lieutenant to send an officer home but they did it for me). I have tried using claritin and the like (that stuff does work, but it you don't have insurance it gets costly). I just found something out of the baby aisle tho....while it's not completely alternative.....Gerber's Menthol bath for babies. It has eucalyptus and such in it and it has helped me and my son with our colds and sinus probs.....I give him a bath in it and in turn I get a good whiff of it and it seems to help. It's not very expensive and worth a shot. :-) Ang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Where do you massage and how do you know it is helping? My husband has horrible sinus headaches and I would like to help him. We have used eucalyptic oil...but just put it on around his nose. Thanks Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
