Regular exercise, stress management, adequate hydration, good sleep quality and avoidance of environmental toxins (pollution, smoke, etc.) are lifestyle modifications that may help to prevent sinusitis. Also, acupressure and acupuncture have been used to alleviate sinusitis-related symptoms such as facial pain. Although nasal washes with saline are most common, nasal washes containing manuka honey or the herb Cyclamen europaeum have also been studied, but did not seem promising.[1]
Are there any other treatments for sinusitis?
