Re: [Everything doTERRA] Sinus Headaches

Hi Helen, have you tried avoiding milk products? Sinus pain can be caused by inflammation and milk products can cause inflammation of the sinus cavities. Working with  pressure points for the sinuses is great to do as well.

Cypress might be good for you...you can always apply this to the points on your feet for your sinuses or the pressure points on your face. Also, Deep Blue for your jaw bone, base of head, neck and shoulders. When we have issues  in our sinuses lots of times we carry stress in those areas as well. If you are not avoid milk products, I would recommend starting that ASAP. At least for 2 weeks. Wishing you the best!

When I had a nasty sinus pressure whole head thing last Spring, I just massages PasTense all over my sinus areas and head.  It just melted it all away in no time!

I am trying to find oils that would help me with the frequent sinus headaches I get.  I'm not talking about active sinus infection -- I haven't had one of those in a very long time.  I'm talking about pain in the bones around the eyes.  If I don't take sudafed soon enough, it turns into a migraine.  Last night I tried applying Breathe, Basil, & Lavender along the brown bones (above the eyes) and zygomatic bones (under the eyes), as well as using Breathe in the diffuser.  I also used Past Tense on the back of the neck, and Deep Blue on the forehead.  I was able to keep it from turning into a true migraine, but I still had a lot of pain around my eyes, and couldn't sleep; finally I gave up and took some sudafed & ibuprofen, and that took care of it.  What else can I try?  I get these headaches fairly frequently -- it seems like some sort of allergy-induced inflammation, but I also get them from pressure changes when it's going to snow.  (The dry, high-altitude air in CO is not very nice for sinuses.)

Thanks for your input.
