- 1). When you feel a headache coming on, try to relax and stretch your face and neck. Headaches typically cause the face and neck muscles to tighten and lock, which results in even more pain. By keeping them as loose as possible, it is easier to treat the remaining headache and the sinuses.
- 2). Use a massager or vibrator and gently run it over your temples, forehead, neck, shoulders, and anywhere else there is tension. Avoid running it directly across the face unless the device is specifically designed to do so.
- 3). Using a hot water urn, capture the steam on your face and breathe it in carefully through your nose. If you don't have a hot water urn, heat water in a pan on the stove. The heat helps to further relax the face muscles and the moisture helps soothe the sinus passages which may be excessively dry.
- 4). Lay down in a darkened room with a warm, wet washcloth over your eyes and forehead. Take a nap if possible.
