Is it good to massage your sinuses?
Massage helps promote drainage from the sinuses and ease congestion. All it takes is just a few minutes of gently massaging and putting pressure on the appropriate parts of your face. When inflammation occurs, pain may also be present in the surrounding muscles of the face, the upper neck, and the jaw. A gentle massage around the face and neck will help to drain the sinuses and relieve pressure from the affected areas.
