Is There A Way To Modify The At Home Remedy Of Draining Sinuses By Boiling Water?
My poor boyfriend has horrible sinus pressure. I’d like to try some at home remedies to drain his sinuses. I read about boiling water, taking it off the burner and holding your head over it with a towel draped over. But is there anything I can add to the water to make it even more effective?

1. Please do not put Vicks or anything else that has an oil base in your nose. As you breathe the oil will melt (not to the point that it drips out of your nostrils or anything) enough so that micro droplets are inhaled into your lungs. When oil gets into your lungs it stays there. Oil and lungs don’t mix. Having a foreign body in your lungs or stuck to the lining of your lungs can and if done often enough cause breathing problems. You can how-ever add eucalyptus, peppermint, or spearmint, to the steaming water. Do lean over the pot with a towel over your head and the pot to direct the steam to your face. Salt water will indeed clean your sinuses, but again I am not sure that purposely putting great amounts of water in your nose is a good ie: drowning if not done properly. You can also go see an acupuncturist or have acupressure for treatment as well. Everything I have listed works.
You can also look in a book call Prescription for Nutrition for herbs to use and how to use those herbs.
Be SAFE in your health (or your boy friends health )

I think you can put Vicks Vapo Rub in the hot water. Another way is to put a towel over your head while running very hot water in the sink. Other people has sworn by the Neti Pot method of cleaning your sinuses, you can Google it.
SayWhat?
get a neti pot;
What is a neti pot? Can it help with allergies and sinus problems?
It may look like a watering can or a genie bottle, but a neti pot—or “nose bidet”—may actually be the answer to your sinus woes. For thousands of years, Dr. Oz says people have been using similar devices to wash out their noses.
By pouring warm water from the neti pot into your nose, you can stimulate your sinuses and help clear out mucus. If the fluid builds up in your sinuses and causes pressure, you will experience pain, Dr. Oz says. This condition is known as sinusitis—inflammation of the sinuses.
Watch Dr. Oz explain how the sinuses work.
“A lot of folks that have allergies, who have sinusitis, that have conditions that we treat with medications are equally well treated by actually washing the areas of your body,” he says. “When you think about it … you wash your underarms. You have bidets. Why wouldn’t you wash a pretty important part of your body, your sinuses, in the same fashion?”
If your sinuses are working normally, they will clean themselves. “That’s why you blow your nose,” he says.

When my sinuses are full I take a hot shower with the water running directly on my upper forehead. This helps them drain and relieve the pressure.
Good luck!

menthol may help. when my sinuses bother me I usually eat hot wings (crazy, i know) or sip hot sauce and it helps.

Do you know WHY his sinuses are blocked? Treating the symptoms ie: the blockage is one thing but looking to find the cause is the other way to go. Seeing a good Osteopath or cranial Osteopath might be a good starting point as any neck or cranial mechanics that are restricted will effectively reduce the ability for the sinuses to drain properly. Even if it’s just as the result of a severe cold a good Osteopath will be able to help drainage and stimulate lymphatic flow (part of your immune system) to help clear the infection. Good luck!
