Bathtub facials: Heal sinuses

Targeting your sinuses while relaxing in a bath—by draping a hot, wet cloth across your eyes, cheeks and nose—nixes sinus pain, cuts congestion by 55% in 5 minutes and trims four days off your recovery time if you do it once daily, University of Pittsburgh researchers say. Jordan S. Josephson, M.D., author of Sinus Relief Now, explains that moist heat calms pain nerves in sinus cavities, opens and drains sinuses and boosts the flow of immune cells to infected mucous membranes.
