roaches, can cause chronic inflammation in the nasal passages and sinuses.
While airborne allergens may have a significant role in causing sinusitis, food allergens can also act as triggers. I have personally witnessed a reduction of sinusitis with the elimination of certain foods, particularly wheat, all grains containing gluten, and dairy foods. Eliminating these foods may not necessarily eradicate sinusitis completely, but they can help increase recovery time significantly. Through trial and error, you may even find a food that is your favorite, and eaten frequently, turns out to be your downfall.
Try eliminating the offending food for several weeks and you may be quite surprised at the improvement in the health of your sinuses. I’ m not aware of any studies that can support this. However, based on my own personal experience and from the people I have counseled over the years, a change in diet can lead to significant improvement.
Along with these lifestyle considerations, I believe that eucalyptus and myrtle are two of the most effective botanicals for sinus relief and protection from bacteria.

Eucalyptus oil
SINUS RELIEF FROM EUCALYPTUS AND MYRTLE
Eucalyptus is one of the most wellknown plant oils for clearing the sinuses. In this case, I recommend the oil of Eucalyptus radiata. The essential oil of this plant contains 1, 8 cineole, alpha pinene, and limonene – compounds that have strong anti-inflammatory abilities.
This natural plant oil thins mucus so it can drain more easily, and also is a natural antibacterial and antiviral to treat sinus infections. Many studies on eucalyptus oil and its key compounds show that it not only reduces inflammation and destroys pathogens, it also helps to strengthen the immune system so that it can respond more quickly to infections.
Another concentrated plant oil that has been well studied and sold in Europe for more than 75 years is myrtle( Myrtus communis cineole) oil. Like eucalyptus, myrtle has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. And, like eucalyptus, myrtle also contains 1,8 cineole, the powerful plant compound. This compound stimulates tiny, fluttering projections in the sinus cavities called cilia to move mucus along more quickly, so you experience even more sinus clearing and comfort.
EVEN MORE RELIEF FROM CONCENTRATED LEMON OIL
For even more sinus relief, you may also want to consider increasing the amounts of the eucalyptus and myrtle oils, along with adding lemon oil for additional sinusclearing power.
