Help Ease Sinus Pain

While the change of weather is a welcome relief, many people now suffer sinus pain.  Here are a few quick tips that may help.

Self massage

Head accupressurePut your fingers on your head and use your thumbs either side of your neck muscles in a depression at the base of your skull. Press deeply and rub for 1-2 minutes, several times a day.

Use your index fingers to knead the area between the inner edge of each eyebrow and to the side of  each nostril with small circular motions.

Diet

Dairy products may cause a mild allergic reaction for some people which can lead to swelling of the mucus membranes and/or excess production of mucus.  Consider cutting back on dairy products while still ensuring your calcium intake is adequate with almonds and seseame seeds, green leafy vegetables and soft boned fish.

A 30 minute head and face massage would also be beneficial or you may consider a full Bowen Therapy treatment and allow your body to relax and reset itself.
