Breathe freely again by clearing blocked passageways and easing sinus pressure. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may be helpful.

• Wipe out irritants Keep your environment free of irritants and allergens that can trigger sinus congestion, such as dust, mold, smoke, chemical fumes, and animal dander
• Steam clean with aromatic oils Use steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil or products containing menthol to reduce nasal stuffiness
• Try nasal irrigation Prepare a warm, salt-water solution in a special ceramic pot known as a “neti lota” pot and pour it through your nose to relieve your sinuses
• Uncover food allergies Work with a knowledgeable practitioner to find out if food allergens may contribute to your sinus congestion
• Get a checkup Visit your doctor to find out if your sinus congestion may be caused by an infection, inhalant allergy, or other treatable medical condition
