• The human head contains some air-spaces called sinuses that assist in respiration as well as keeping the head light.
  • Though the lining is moist, it has a drainage system that ensures that it does not get congested.
  • Headache is a key symptom when the sinuses are congested.
  • Infections of the sinuses leads to the inflammation of the lining of the air-spaces, which results in the congestion of those spaces and even blockage of the drainage system attached
  • Poor hydration which could result from poor water intake could also lead to the congestion of air-spaces.
  • Even in the event of infection of the air-spaces, proper water intake ensures that the sinuses do not get blocked
  • Massaging the gums through regular habits like brushing the gums or making out time to massage the gums and other acupressure points (on the palm and sole of the feet) promotes rapid healing of ailments related to the sinuses.
