FOOD FOR SINUS?

Not really, but I started using Sinus Wars and they work really well. Also, I drink a glass of lemon water in the am. Avoid milk and such. Also you can get a neti like pot from walgreens and it works well too, but always makes me sneeze after. : )

good luck.

Sinus headaches are horrible! I don't know about foods, but you might want to try sinus irrigation, like a neti pot or neilmed sinus irrigation saline system. Another thing you can do is steam a couple of times a day. If it's allergy related some people do believe consuming local honey helps.

Hmm, I have sinus problems myself, but resort to advil for swelling and allergy meds to try to keep that under control too. Spicy food might help?

Be careful with things like netti pots, I would recommend using bottled distilled water, and not tap water as there have been some reported instances of people getting ill from using tap water contaminated with microorganisms (typically this isn't the case, most public water is fine, but why take the chance?) Also for the same reason, make sure the netti pot is thoroughly cleaned between uses and dried out so no bacteria or anything can grow in it.

i swear by my neti pot!! i've had sinus issues for years, and using a neti pot has really helped to clear things up and relieve the pain. i like to use distilled water instead of tap water, and it feels really strange the first couple times you do it, but you get used to it and it really works!!

I've tried the neti pot and it doesn't help with my headaches, but it does keep me clear-ish if I'm really stuffy. When I'm really bad it will sometimes even burn. You can use salt water, or if that seems to make you too dry just use plain water. I've heard using distilled water is better too, just becuase it's cleaner.

I get sinus headaches which will turn into migraines on a pretty regular basis. Advil sinus & congestion works wonders for me. I tried just using Advil by itself the other day and I think it helped as well. I've heard that much of the pain can be due to inflamation, so using allergy medicine and most sinus medicines will not help much since they don't address that problem. I haven't found anything to take the pain away diet-wise, and can only suggest avoiding dairy because it promotes mucus. My doctor recommended taking some kind of allergy medicine (pill or spray) daily which will help to reduce chances of sinus headaches. Apparently sinus problems are related to allergy problems, a new fact I learned last time I was at the doctor for my headaches. Figure out your triggers (perhaps an allergy test is in order) and by reducing those you may be able to reduce the number and severity of headaches.

Good luck! I feel your pain!!

What are sinus wars?

Stay away from dairy- It will make it worse

This is usually only true when a person has a dairy sensitivity... Other things make it worse for different people...

But you could try eliminating foods if you think your sinus issues are due to allergy

I don't know any foods that can help but I do know a Sinus irrigation system will work. I bought one last year due to horrible sinus headaches several times a month. I found mine on Amazon.com. It works best If you use It daily to prevent your sinuses from becoming clogged, It helps a little bit If you use it during the headache. Check It out Hope this helps! Sinus pressure sucks!

I get these a lot due to allergies and have to use a nasal spray. However when it is really bad the prescribed stuff just doesn't seem to do it. You can make a paste with ground ginger and water and apply it like a face mask. Let it dry and then wash it off, it will take down the internal swelling. You can use cinnamon to make the paste as well.
