How it works
Local warmth dilates blood vessels in sinus tissue, promotes drainage and provides pain relief by relaxing facial muscles and stimulating circulation.
Ensure the compress is warm not hot to avoid burns. Symptomatic relief only — does not treat infection.
Limited formal research but consistent clinical recommendation. Safe, low-cost and provides reliable pain relief as an adjunct to other treatments.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
