Sinusitis can at times be painful with the swelling of the mucus lining, inflamm

ation, stuffiness and blockage that causes bacterial infection. However, there a
re many "sinusitis herbs" that can cure the symptoms of sinusitis and free up th
e nasal passages. The long term treatment of sinusitis might depend on the actua
l cause which could be other health issues like diabetes, weak immunity, allergi
es to dust and refined foods etc. which can be treated after consultation with d
octors.
Eucalyptus in the form of tea or oil has got very good medicinal properties. It
is also available as throat lozenges which can cure sore throats and inflammatio
n. When mixed in warm water and inhaled eucalyptus helps free up the nasal passa
ges. This is because this "sinusitis herb" with its strong odor has antiseptic p
roperties which cure the swelling of mucus lining caused by infection. Lemon bal
m and ginger are other cures for virus and bacterial infection. They can be used
for gargling or made in the form of tea and inhaled to fight the microbial affe
ct. Peppermint tea with its anti-inflammatory properties and strong scent will a
lso help provide relief against fungal infection of the mucus linings.
Reshi and Maitake are two mushrooms that increase the immunity of the body. When
taken as an extraction of decoction these medicinal mushrooms help cure inflamm
ation caused by allergens like dust mites, mold and pollen. They also contain pe
ptidoglycans which enhance the effectiveness of the immunity system. Horseradish
, although a pungent herb, is extremely effective against sinusitis. Not only do
es it increase the blood flow to the local tissues in the nasal passages, but it
also increases the movement of the lymph fluid which is mainly responsible for
collecting microbes eliminated by the protective cells. Less flow of lymph might
result in swelling of the nodes and excess secretion of mucus which is one of t
he symptoms of sinusitis.
Another lesser known exotic herb that cures sinusitis is the Magnolia flower als
o known as Xin Yi Hua in Chinese medicine. Very similar to the lily, this flower
with a bud full of furs inhibits the secretion of mucus. It is hence used to tr
eat sinusitis and also for congestion as applying it leads to loosening of the n
asal passage easily. Cocklebur fruits also known as xanthium is a multipurpose h
erb that is very effective against sinusitis. It inhibits the growth and propaga
ting of staphylococcus aureus bacteria that causes sinusitis and infection of na
sal linings. Secondly it inhibits thick mucus secretion.
Thicker mucus is more difficult when it comes to discharging and sometimes lends
the cilia immobile which are trapped leading to build up of further mucus. The
Baikal Skullcap Root also helps cure chronic sinusitis in a similar way. It trea
ts the upper part of the respiratory tract of bacteria and cures some of the sym
ptoms of nasal infection and sinusitis. It belongs to the mint family Labiatae,
which makes it a good cure to free up nasal blockages and treat inflammation of
the mucus lining because of its strong scene.
Herbs are very effective against sinusitis and provide almost instant relief. Al
liums such as garlic and onion, aroma oils like eucalyptus, and mint are all eff
ective against sinusitis. Most of them are anti-inflammatory and help tackle the
growth of bacteria that aggravate the infection and cause mucus swelling.
