I am one of those people that don't even take an aspirin! No really I don't get headaches and colds nothing ever makes me really sick. I might get a headache about once every six months and know that usually the headache will be gone in a couple of hours. But 3-4 days ago we went to my husbands brothers home and was having a good time but his brothers wife was feel poorly. Well the next morning I woke up with a sinus headache and it just won't go away! I don't like taking anything cause you never know what they will put in the medicine these days. Heck I see these commercials about medicines that if you take them they can cause so many side affects! My mother God rest her soul would know what to do about it but alas she is dead and gone so I can't call her! So my question is do any of you know a natural cure for this? Please I am getting desperate!

My husband always uses a few drops of menthol in a bowl of hot water as an inhalant. It works for him, sadly it doesn't for me as menthol vapours give me a headache. I find a relaxing bath in lavender does the trick. Hope this helps.

Thanks will try the menthol, I already tried the hot bath. This has me not wanting to do anything except go to bed and I can't do that got too much that I have to get done everyday. Thanks

Sometimes you are better off in the long run taking a day to go to bed and get over it so that you are more productive and feel better soon.

Good advice from GardenGerty but not always possible.

If you are sure it is a sinus headache it is best to take a decongestant and a plain aspirin. You may have allergies. If it is the beginning of a "cold" a hot compress might help as well as chicken soup with curry powder in it. Sometimes if you have a true infection antibiotics are needed. I'd just try an OTC medicine first or chicken soup. If it is a cold it won't matter what you do cause colds can't be cured. They will hang on for 7-10 days no matter what. Try lying down in a dark room maybe...too.

Use a nasal saline rinse or get a special nasal saline irrigation system. It is a special bottle that lets you put a low pressure rinse in your sinuses. I work with someone who has to do this every time she starts to get cold symptoms. You can mix your own saline solution at home, for my client we mix by the gallon--1 gallon distilled water, eight teaspoons pickling or kosher salt, and four teaspoons baking soda. You can at the same time ru something with menthol in it, like Icy Hot or Tiger balm on your temples. I like to chew candied ginger as well. Hot chicken soup with plenty of garlic in it is another good health support that is natural.
