Winter Cold
Miserable feeling. I used to say it was a "cotton ball stuffed" feeling inside of my head with the sinus pressure. Right now it feels more like a brick than a cotton ball. I can't get an appointment with the doctor until tomorrow (and I made the appointment yesterday). I guess this bug is going around. Ugh.
Anyone have any home remedies for sinus pressure?

I notice Hall's mentho-something cough drops help open the sinuses temporarily. Warm liquids. I say all this as I wish my face did not hurt and I did not feel like falling over from the groggy feeling.
Hope you feel better soon!
Don't forget is SITSmas today - check out my blog for more about it!
Feel better!!
Mix a cup of Olive Oil, 2 cups of Apple Juice, and 4 raisins.
Rub it on your cheeks, then take a cold shower, and sleep upside down.
Let me know if it works!
Hope you get to feeling better!
one thing that helps me is to put a heating pad as hot as is comfortable, on my nose and head---it helps to get all that gunk up there to drain downward and out.
gross i know.
hope you feel better soon!
Ginger tea can help a little, maybe honey and lemon mixed in????
Get a washrag as hot as you can stand it and lay it across your face. Breath deeply.
Drink lots of hot tea (and of course, water ... you do not want to get dehydrated).
And always remember ~ rest is best.
Boil some water. Stuff a couple of paper towels in two coffee cups. Pour a small amount of water in the cups - just enough for the paper towels to soak it up, but not to the point of dripping wet. Lay down, with your head elevated on pillows. Hold the cups over your ears (make sure the paper towels are squashed down so the boiling water on them won't burn your ears). Press in lightly, so that the steam isn't escaping. The steam rises up through your ear canals, and relieves the pressure almost instantly. Have crackers on hand, because your sinuses will drain like a mother, and it always makes me sick to my stomach.
I second (third?) the Neti Pot.
FEEL BETTER SOON!

ALSO- but you have to do this from the start: Standard Process makes an herbal antibiotic that will knock any cold or flu outta you! It's called adrographis complex. It takes like licking a foot but totally works!
