Blocked sinuses? Try this

Sinusitis is an uncomfortable condition caused by a virus. Your sinuses sit behind your cheekbones and forehead, and are four small spaces normally full of air. They make the mucus which drains out of your nose.

You only really notice your sinuses when they are blocked and inflamed but there are things you can do to help clear the sinuses and relieve the discomfort:

👉🏾 give yourself a sinus massage – press gently on the eyebrow by the nose and push your fingers along the top of your eyebrow. Then press your fingers under your eye and gently move along the cheekbone. You should feel the mucus drain down your throat and instant relief.

👉🏾 take over the counter medications – painkillers and decongestants

👉🏾 snort a saline solution to clear the sinuses (lots of tips on YouTube as to how to do this properly)
