Blocked sinuses are a common problem for people of all ages. It is caused by numerous different reasons like weather changes, colds or allergies. Most people treat this problem with medications, but there are other better ways to relieve the pressure which you feel from sinus blockage.
These natural methods don`t include any chemicals, unlike the OTC meds. They use only pressure on specific points on the face to solve the problem fast and efficiently.
Applying pressure removes the excess mucus, which is the main cause for the blockage. Acupressure stimulates flow of fluids, so that the nose can be cleared of mucus, allowing you to breathe normally.
- Push the tongue flat against the top of the mouth, while pressing the fingers against the area between the eyebrows. Hold the pressure for 20 seconds. When you release the pressure, you will feel a movement towards the back of the throat. This is because mucus is starting to get soft.
Amber Lynn Vitale, a massage therapist, explains how to clear blockage in the forehead sinuses: apply pressure across the eyebrows to stimulate movement of the mucus. Place your fingers at the beginning of each eyebrow, closer to the central part between the two and then you’re your head forward. Slide the fingers to the middle of both eyebrows, when you fell pressure, hold it, until you feel relief again. Then, continue moving the fingers towards the end of the eyebrows and hold a steady pressure or just move the fingertips in circles- this will stimulate the mucus to flow away from the forehead. At this point, you`ll feel a pressure in the center of your head.
