Sinusitis is a paranasal cavity inflammation and it is usually a result of viruses, allergies, bacteria or fungi. Some of the symptoms of sinusitis are inconveniences and discomfort, which makes it highly important to treat this condition and improve the symptoms in time, before they start affect our daily lives.
Some other common symptoms of sinusitis are discomfort (as mentioned above), headaches, congestions, fever, nasal secretion, fatigue and persistent cough. All of this results from the accumulation of mucus in the paranasal cavity as a result of an obstruction caused by inflammation.
A condition such as paranasal sinusitis is usually treated with conventional antibiotics and medicines which often come packed with side effects. It is in times like these when we must turn to a natural alternative treatment for the best effects.

Ginger can be used for the treatment of sinusitis in another way as well. Put 50 g of ginger in a pan with water, and set it on high heat until it boils. When the pan starts steaming, remove it from heat and start inhaling the steam. It is recommended that you put your head over the pan and cover your head with a towel, to prevent the steam from evaporating.
