This time of year can be murderous for some people. Seasonal Allergies-Bleck! The molds wake up after their winter dormancy, the pollen is thick as a blanket on our cars and outdoor furniture, and dust encroaches into our homes. This can mean limited time outdoors and a general feeling of malaise due to congestion and a lack of oxygen. Try a little hydrotherapy to open up your sinus cavities and ease painful congestion. Hydrotherapy improves circulation and helps your body stay healthy and fight off congestion and infection. The simplest way is to take a shower and alternate between hot and cold 4-5 times to clear the sinus’s and get the blood flowing. Maybe you do not have time to take a shower, or need more than one sinus treatment in a day. Try the same hot and cold remedy with a wet cloth only this time add eucalyptus oil to reduce sinus pain and spasming of the bronchials. Keep reading to find out how to do this.
