Sinus pressure is referred to the pain which is caused due to the inflamed sinus cavity which can also be blocked or infected and packed with mucus. Sinus pressure can be caused due to sinus infection, colds, flu or allergens. It is very important to drain the mucus from the sinus cavities to get relief from the caused pressure. Try the following home remedies to relieve your pressure
