Sinusitis is manifested by symptoms such as congestion, runny nose, cough, headache, facial tenderness as well as fatigue and a general ill feeling which is further accentuated when this condition is accompanied by fever. Some of these symptoms may be relieved by using aloe as this plant has, for example, very soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that are beneficial to improve the patient's condition in a completely natural way.
Aloe provides good results when it comes to reducing inflammation of the lining of the bone cavities that communicate with the nose; so the next natural remedy is ideal to speed up the healing of sinusitis. In addition, it will also help to combat nasal packing which in most cases prevents rest and sleeping well at night. The process to follow is: cut a piece of aloe vera, extract the juice found inside and pour into a small dark glass bottle, so you can use it more often. Store in a cool place free from humidity so the aloe liquid does not lose its properties.
How do I apply it? Just add 4 drops of liquid aloe to the nose (2 in each nostril) just before bedtime. You'll feel the airways become unlocked; the feeling of blockage is reduced and you can enjoy a restful sleep.
Another good natural remedy with aloe for sinusitis, and in particular to clear the nostrils and facilitate cleaning of the mucosa, is to do vapour inhalations of eucalyptus and aloe vera. First, you must place a few pieces of aloe leaves in a pot of water with some eucalyptus leaves. Remove from heat when it reaches boiling point. Place the pot on a flat surface and, covering your head with a towel, approach your face to the pot to inhale the vapour given off by the union of these two treatment plants.
The headaches that are caused by sinusitis are usually quite intense and also often appear accompanied by a feeling of pressure in the face which is very annoying. And for their relief, aloe is one of the best natural remedies that exists thanks to its powerful soothing properties. To put it into practice, you must put a piece of aloe leaf directly on the forehead, rubbing the area lightly and let it sit for a few minutes.
Another more effective option than the previous one, is to moisten a gauze with fluid from a piece of aloe vera and leave it in place just above the forehead. Try to have the gauze and also cover part of the nasal bridge to soothe the discomfort of sinusitis. Relax while performing the treatment and you will notice a huge relief.
