First, check yourself for allergies, mainly food allergies. It seems that we all suffer from some food intolerance, whether we know it or not. Inflamed sinuses are in many instances the result of a reaction to types of foods we consume regularly, and are intolerant to.
If you do find out you are allergic in any way to certain foods, learn to avoid those food types, or at least do not eat that same food you react to on a daily basis.
You can ease your allergic reactions by alternating your food types daily. Avoid eating the same ingredients every day. Be aware that wheat effects many as an allergen, and its the main ingredient in breads and pastas. Dairy products, that many people react to are being used in different ways in many dishes. Lots of people seem to be allergic to preservatives colorants and different additives which are being used in most of the processed food on the market today. So, try and avoid processed food whenever you can, or at least be aware that processed food can be a cause for your sinuses discomfort.
When you cook try and use spices and ingredients that are known to be natural anti inflammatory like; turmeric, curcuma ( saffron ), oregano, ginger or rosemary.
Look for foods which are supplemented with quercetin. Quercetin is a crystalline pigment present in plants, which has a great effect on reducing allergic reactions.
Make sure to take lots of vitamine c, which acts as a natural antihistamine, and helps in reducing inflammations caused by allergies.
Another very efficient method to relieve a sinus condition is to use a neti pot, and rinse the sinuses a few times daily. You should use lukewarm ( body temperature ) water with salt, and rinse out your sinuses. starting with one nostril and then alternating to the other. From my experience using a neti pot has a great effect in immediately improving the sinuses discomfort. It will not cure the cause to your sinus problem, but will make living with sinus condition much more bearable.
So, if you suffer from a sinus condition that make your life very uncomfortable, check yourself for food allergies, and alternate your foods daily, take natural anti inflammatory and antihistamine, and rinse your sinuses a few times a day. Most chances are that your sinuses discomfort will improve.
