Sinus problems

[Come to Chat! its fun!]

Help please!

Sinus problems are an ongoing "pain"! Can anyone recommend oils to use in a burner to help ease the pain and perhaps the amount of mucous/swelling?

Many thanks,
Janice

Hello,
Sorry to hear about your sinus problems. Ive spent years suffering as well.[] Ive tried a few things such as burning oils in the bathroom whilst having a bath. (didnt really help much)
However every one is differentso give it a go:
Essential oils good for sinusitis are: peppermint, eucalyptus, tea tree, niaouli,basil,pine.
Steam inhalation: add 3 or 4 drops
Vaporiser: add 4 to 6 drops
Bath: add oils under running water and use in a carrier(ie milk, grapeseed) 6 to8 drops.

For long term help maybe try a homeopath,shiatsu or tryhaving a facial the therapist might be able touse acupressurein her massage routine.

Good luck

Warning: please be aware eucalyptus and peppermint should not be used if receiving homeopathic treatment also eucalyptus should not be used if you suffer from high blood pressure and tea tree and peppermintmay cause sensitisation. And avoid all oils if you may be pregnant.

I'm not an aromatherapist, but after years of use I find that cypress
or rosemary are good in the bath as well as the oils below.
