If you\u2019ve been walking around feeling like your face is a clogged drain, here\u2019s what you need to know about why your sinuses are all backed up and how to get things moving.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em style=\"font-family: 'Josefin Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase;\"><strong>ABOUT OUR EXPERT: <\/strong><\/em><em><em><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doctors.rush.edu\/details\/19858\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Peter Filip<\/a>, M.D., is a physician with RUSH University Medical Group&#8217;s Department of Otorhinolaryngology. <\/span><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>All About Your Sinuses<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sinuses are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/17701-sinusitis\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">four paired cavities (spaces) in the head<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, connected by narrow passages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe paranasal sinuses are hollow cavities lined with mucus membranes that are present in the cheeks, the forehead, between the eyes, and behind the eyes,\u201d explains <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doctors.rush.edu\/details\/19858\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Peter Filip<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, M.D., of the RUSH University Medical Center Department of Otorhinolaryngology. \u201cThey are thought to be \u2018crumple zones\u2019 or \u2018airbags\u2019 to prevent injury to the brain and the eyes in cases of trauma.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does that have to do with colds and allergies? Well, the sinuses also produce mucus that drains out through the nose, keeping it free from harmful bacteria, pathogens, and allergens, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/17701-sinusitis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cleveland Clinic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When this mucus stops draining properly, it can build up, leading to pain and pressure, Filip explains. \u201cThe sinuses produce about two-pint glasses-worth of mucus per day,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen this mucus gets trapped, it can hurt or cause pressure. In some cases, this mucus itself can become infected.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viral infections like the common cold are the biggest culprits behind sinus pressure and can sometimes even lead to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loyolamedicine.org\/about-us\/blog\/sinus-infection-vs-cold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sinus infection<\/a>. These occur when the passageways between sinuses become blocked by mucus, which then stagnates, allowing bacteria or viruses to flourish. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While acute sinus infections can be the result of either bacteria or viruses, bacteria (or fungi) are often the culprits behind chronic sinus infections, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pennmedicine.org\/for-patients-and-visitors\/patient-information\/conditions-treated-a-to-z\/sinus-infections-sinusitis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Penn Medicine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/stress-and-immunity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How Stress Messes With Your Immunity\u2014And What To Do About It<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sinus pressure may feel like achiness or tightness in the face, particularly around the cheekbones, eyes, forehead, and nose. However, sinus pressure can also radiate to other areas like the scalp, jaw, and teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Natural Ways To Ease Sinus Pressure<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best course of action for relieving your sinuses (and your entire face) from frustrating pressure depends on what caused that buildup in the first place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the culprit is a bacterial infection, you\u2019ll likely need prescription antibiotics, says Filip. That\u2019s why it\u2019s always a good idea to check in with your provider if you\u2019re <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/antibiotic-use\/sinus-infection.html#:~:text=See%20a%20doctor%20if%20you,10%20days%20without%20getting%20better.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">experiencing severe symptoms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as facial pain or an intense headache. If symptoms get worse after initially improving, last more than 10 days without getting better, or you experience a fever lasting longer than three days, seek medical attention to confirm whether or not you have an infection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you\u2019re dealing with allergies or the average sniffle, there\u2019s plenty you can do at home to help your sinuses drain ASAP.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Audit Your Diet<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though this area requires more research, certain people seem to experience sinus pressure\u2014and even sinusitis (sinus infections)\u2014from food sensitivities, explains Filip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you experience sinus issues often, certain foods might be messing with you. Your best move is to work with an allergy doctor to formally identify triggers and modify your diet to avoid those foods. \u201cThe type of triggering foods vary from person to person,\u201d Filip says. \u201cCommon examples include histamine-containing foods like chocolate, milk products, tomatoes, and wheat.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Clear or Soothe Nasal Passages<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most effective ways to relieve sinus pressure is to keep nasal passages moist, per <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/17701-sinusitis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cleveland Clinic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The easiest way to do this is with a nasal saline gel or spray. You can even try a nasal irrigation system like a Neti Pot, which washes away allergens and irritants that can cause inflammation. Just be sure to use distilled water to lower the risk of infection.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filip, personally, is a fan of filling your Neti Pot with a solution that includes baking soda and salt. \u201cSinus rinses with baking soda and salt effectively reduce inflammation and swelling and remove irritants and mucus,\u201d he says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another option here is a nasal spray that contains xylitol, a sugar alcohol that can help with excess mucus and works against bad-guy bacteria, he suggests. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/xlear-xlear-nasal-wash-1-fl-oz\/xl-1001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">XLEAR Xylitol Saline Nasal Spray<\/a> is a popular pick.)<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Keep Your Head Elevated<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have ever suffered from a stuffy nose when feeling under the weather, then you probably know how a little elevation can help you breathe easier. According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/physical-health\/treatment-for-blocked-nose-at-night\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep Foundation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, this may be because of how your head position impacts blood flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you go to sleep at night, prop yourself up on a few pillows to help the sinuses drain more easily. This simple adjustment\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can help you breathe more comfortably and ease annoying pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Consider Essential Oils<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though there isn\u2019t a lot of research on the benefits of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/natural-beauty-skin\/aromatherapy\/essential-oils?shipping=on\">essential oils<\/a> for sinus troubles, \u201cwe do know that essential oils are safe to sniff and that they <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">do<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have antioxidants and other beneficial properties,\u201d says Filip. These perks could deem <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/natural-beauty-skin\/aromatherapy\/essential-oils?shipping=on\">aromatherapy<\/a> helpful in the case of angry sinuses. \u201cMy patients have had success with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/peppermint-essential-oil\/vs-3951\">peppermint oil<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/eucalyptus-essential-oil-4-fl-oz-oil\/vs-3935\">eucalyptus oil<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/tea-tree-essential-oil-1-oz\/vs-3957\">tea tree oil<\/a>,\u201d he says. So, pop a few drops into your diffuser or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">try them topically around your nose and throat (dilute them in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/natural-beauty-skin\/aromatherapy\/carrier-oils?shipping=on\">carrier oil<\/a> like coconut oil), suggests the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americansinus.com\/blog\/essential-oils-that-help-relieve-sinus-congestion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Sinus Institute<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A few other options worth trying:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/clove-essential-oil\/vs-3933\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clove<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/frankincense-essential-oil\/vs-3936\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frankincense<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/lemon-balm-2-fl-oz\/vs-7292\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lemon Balm<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/rosemary-essential-oil\/vs-3955\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rosemary<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just note that adding essential oils to sinus rinses or ingesting them is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recommended.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Try gentle massage<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several pressure points around the face are affected when sinus pressure builds up. Using your fingers to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/17701-sinusitis\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gently massage these areas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in a circular motion can help relieve some of the discomfort of sinus pressure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few spots to try:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Above the eyebrows<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In front of the ears<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outside the nose, between the cheekbones and jaw<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The forehead<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The temples<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bonus points for adding any of the aforementioned essential oils into whatever oil you like to use for massage.<\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Breathe In Some Steam<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way to relieve congestion is to inhale steam. You can do this by lingering in a hot shower or leaning over a pan or pot of hot, steamy water with a towel over your head (like a miniature DIY steam room), suggests <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/diseases-and-conditions\/sinusitis#:~:text=Sinus%20infection%20treatment%3A%20Promoting%20drainage&amp;text=Good%20hydration%20helps%20keep%20the,head%20to%20inhale%20the%20steam.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harvard Health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Even breathing in the steam from a bowl of chicken soup or mug of tea might offer some minor relief.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Adding a few drops of an essential oil to your <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">steamy shower or bowl of hot water can help open things up, so feel free to experiment there, suggests t<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.americansinus.com\/blog\/essential-oils-that-help-relieve-sinus-congestion\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American Sinus Institute<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Try An Herbal Supplement<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herbs have been used to support all areas of health for generations, so it\u2019s no surprise that certain herbs may be helpful in the case of sinus pressure, says Filip. A couple of options worth checking out: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/natural-factors-dr-murray-lung-bronchial-sinus-health-90-tablets\/f3-1014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Natural Factors Lung, Bronchial &amp; Sinus Health<\/a> (which includes herbs like mullein and wild cherry) or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/sinuscalm-pellets-160-pellets\/bi-1073\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boiron SinusCalm Homeopathic Medicine<\/a> (which combines several helpful natural extracts). <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow the recommended doses as included on supplement packaging unless otherwise guided by your doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Hydrate<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dehydration can worsen sinus pressure, so drinking plenty of water when you\u2019re feeling clogged up may help ease symptoms, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/17701-sinusitis\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cleveland Clinic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggests. If you want a bit of flavor, add fresh fruit slices to your H2O or grab a hot mug of tea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/hydration-drink-mixes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">6 Tasty Drink Mixes To Help You Stay SO Hydrated<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much water should you drink?

Apply menthol<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Topical treatments containing menthol are popular in cases of intense congestion. Although they cannot clear up congestion, they may make you feel a little bit more comfortable despite the extra mucus. The reason for the temporary relief: Menthol has a strong odor that essentially tricks your brain, making you feel like you\u2019re breathing through an unclogged nose, according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/common-cold\/expert-answers\/nasal-decongestant\/faq-20058569\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mayo Clinic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s a temporary fix that can certainly come in handy if you\u2019re struggling to sleep or get through the day (or night).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Final Advice<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While sinus pressure is often little more than a temporary annoyance, don&#8217;t wait to get checked out by a medical professional if you&#8217;re experiencing symptoms like facial pain or a bad headache, spike a fever, or go longer than a week or so without any relief.
