Ginger contains anti-inflammatory compounds that inhibit the production of prostaglandins and leukotriene, compounds that trigger an inflammatory response. It also stimulates the secretion of mucus and inhibits the contraction of airways thereby relieving nasal congestion.

Honey, which is antibacterial in nature, prevents the symptoms of sinusitis from worsening further. It is also rich in phytonutrients, which boost immune function by stimulating the production of antibodies.

How to use it?

If you have nasal congestion and headache, you can try a ginger-honey concoction. And if you are feeling irritation or inflammation in the respiratory tract, you can have a ginger-honey mixture.

Ginger-honey concoction: Add a medium-sized fresh ginger and 4 – 5 tulsi leaves to a glass of water. Boil all the ingredients till about half a glass of water remains in the pan. Add a few drops of honey and drink this every morning or whenever you suffer from sinus pain.

Ginger-honey mixture: Make small-sized tablets by mixing ginger powder with honey and take them twice a day (preferably in the morning and evening).
