How to Relieve Sinus Allergies

Sinus allergies affect millions of people worldwide. A sinus allergy is caused by tiny particles in the atmosphere that enter your nose and lungs, including dust, microorganisms, hair and tiny insects. When these particles enter your nose, your immune system releases antibodies to engulf and expel them. A sinus allergy is your respiratory system's defense mechanism to invading particles trying to enter it. You can ease sinus allergies by using some simple natural remedies.

Instructions

1

Eat garlic. This popular herb contains the compound allicin, which boosts your immune system to help relieve sinus allergies and prevent infection. Eat this herb every day.
