First make sure to read about sinus infection treatments.
An herbal steam is a natural sinus remedy. Basically you breathe in the goodness of herbs. The moisture of the steam as well as the herbs combined together effectively loosens and clears up congestion.
Eucalyptus is really good in sinus infection treatments as it has the ability to clear up nasal passages and facilitate easier breathing. It is being discovered now that sinus infections indicate an infection in the nasal passages as well.
Eucalyptus Steam
Bring a pan of 2 quarts of water to a boil.
Add a generous handful of eucalyptus leaves and simmer for a minute or two.
If you are wanting to use eucalyptus essential oil instead of the leaves, add it just before placing your head under the "tent" described below. Do not simmer it in the water as all the essential oil will evaporate before you even get to breathe it in!
Turn off heat, set pan on a table by a comfy chair and carefully place your face over the steam. Put a towel over your head and pan to create a tent. A tent will keep the steam from going all over the room.
It will be hot at first, be careful!
Breathe deeply through the nose for a couple of times and then lift a corner of the towel and breathe normal a couple of times. Repeat for 10 - 20 minutes.
Natural sinus remedies like this eucalyptus steam are also effective for children - just sit under the towel with your little one and exercise caution!
