Sneezing, coughing, headaches, swollen face – all these are signs of sinusitis, or inflammation of the sinus passages. When the sinus passages are inflamed, mucus accumulates in them, resulting in growth of bacteria. If the ability of the sinus passages to drain mucus is impaired, this too leads to sinusitis.
Raw onions and garlic are very effective for sinusitis, so include them in your diet.
Coarsely grind a tsp of roasted cumin seeds, mix well with a tlbsp of honey, and have it on a daily basis.

Add in 1/3 tsp of turmeric powder, ½ tsp of lime juice, 1 tsp of honey, and a tiny pinch of pepper.
Have this herbal tea once a day, but under medical guidance if you are on blood thinners.
Keep yourself well hydrated with plenty of fluids like water, hot tea, clear soups, and freshly squeezed orange juice without sugar. Avoid coffee until the infection clears.
Rest as much as possible, and take care of your health.
