I just hate when my nose is completely clogged or I can breathe but the pressure in my sinuses makes me just squint. When it's completely shut then I'll boil water in the tea pot and put a towel over my head for the steam to open me up. I find that helps but it's temporary.

When the pressure is so bad I can't stand it, I go to the freezer and take out my aromatherapy eye pillow. That seems to really help and it also relaxes me. The coldness of the flax seed really soothes my eyes and sinuses. I've tried different scents but I've finally settled on peppermint. It will instantly open up my sinus cavities and it just wipes away the pressure. I found one online that talked about the benefits of the scents. It was very interesting. The company was A Touch Of Satin. If your interested, their website is Http://www.atouchofsatin.com At any rate, I think you'll find an eye pillow very helpful. It works wonders for me!
