Do you feel pain all over your face – in the jaw, the side of the face and head, the sinus pressure and pain extending to the back of the neck? They are constant, throbbing and can become almost unbearable when you start to chew or bend over.

If you have been suffering like this for years and have tried every medication or treatment in the market, you might have just given up hope of ever controlling your allergy. We sympathize with your predicament but have anyone told you that there is no set treatment but the most effective way to treat your sinus pressure and pain is to adopt a multi-disciplinary approach which involves:

1. Make specific lifestyle changes

Starting with your diet – change or modify it.

Focus rather than avoiding how certain food can promote overall good health. Do some research on what foods contain nutrients which can boost your immune system as a functional immune system can lessen or even ward off your sinus pressure and pain. These foods should contain nutrients like Vitamin E, C and beta-carotene.

Have enough rest by changing your sleeping habits.

Restful sleep helps to relive stress, your body is revitalized and repairs any tissue damage. To get sounder sleep, here are some habits which you can adopt – avoid naps after 2 pm, do not take alcohol or any stimulants for at least 6 hours before bedtime, have regular exercise and take a warm shower before bedtime.

Exercise as often as you can.

Regular exercise increases our powers of endurance, maintains our lungs, blood vessels and heart in tip-top condition and relieves stress.

Make necessary changes to your home or working environment.

Try not to have any pets in your house, spray your carpets and furnishings at least twice a year, install air filters and ionizers, watch out for some office equipment and furniture as it can emit toxic chemicals.

More and more people are now using nebulizing diffusers over the air filters and ionizers.

2. Use safe and effective medications.

Check with your doctor for a correct diagnosis on the causes of your sinus pressure and pain so that he can prescribe the best medication treatment for you.

3. Do not be afraid to try complementary medicine.

The various complementary medicine popularly used are herbal medicines, aromatherapy using essential oils, practicing ancient exercise like QiGong or yoga and homeopathy. Some of the benefits which have been experienced are :

1. Encourages elimination of wastes and toxins without injuring the body.

2. Direct effects on the lungs by reducing tension, relaxing tense muscles and boosting the immune system.
