Sinuses are several hollow cavities within the skull that allow the skull to be lightweight without compromising strength. These cavities are connected to the nasal cavity through small channels. When the mucous membrane lining becomes swollen or inflamed, the sinuses are unable to drain correctly. This can lead to infection and sinusitis.

Sinusitis is the inflammation or an infection of the mucus membranes lining in the sinuses and inner nasal passages. Sinusitis is caused by bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Symptoms will present themselves as blocked nasal passages, headache, fever, dental pain, reduced sense of small and or taste, bad breath, and a cough that produces mucus.
Essential oils can help ease the symptoms.
Some of my favorite essential oils for sinusitis are: peppermint, rosemary, eucalyptus, and thyme. They help decrease sinus pressure, inflammation, and open the airways.
Diffuser Blend:
- 2 drops peppermint
- 2 drops rosemary
- 1 drop eucalyptus
- 1 drop thyme
Diffuse throughout the day.
Sinus Relief Steam Treatment (my favorite for immediate relief)
- 2 cups of hot water
- 2 drops peppermint
- 2 drops rosemary
- 1 drop eucalyptus
- 1 drop thyme
- In a glass bowl, add the hot water along with the above essential oils and stir.
- Sit or stand in a comfortable position.
- With a towel, make a tent over your head and bowl with hot water.
- Breathe in the aroma for about 5 minutes.
- Repeat the treatment every 2-3 hours as needed.
