1. Rub your hands together to warm your fingers. Cold hands and fingers can cause your muscles to tense, while warm hands and fingers can make your sinuses more comfortable.

You can pour a small amount of oil (about the size of a coin) into the palm of your hand. The oil can reduce the friction created when you massage your face with your hands. The scent of the oil can also help you relax. Suitable oils for sinus massage include almond oil, baby oil, or castor oil. When massaging around the eyes, be careful not to get the oil in your eyes.

2. Find the depression of the eye socket. It is located at the junction of the bridge of the nose and the brow bones on both sides. Pressing this area can relieve colds, sinus congestion, frontal sinus headaches, and eyestrain.

3. Use your thumbs. It is recommended to use thumbs for massage as they are stronger than other fingers. Some people also think that massaging with the index finger is more comfortable. Choose the method that you feel most comfortable with.

4. Press the sunken area of ​​the eye socket directly with your fingers. Massage for 1 minute using medium pressure (not too light, not too hard).

5. Then, press this area with your fingers and massage in circular motions for 2 minutes. Keep your eyes closed while massaging this area.

6. Massage your cheeks. Place your thumbs or index and middle fingers on the sides of your cheeks (just outside of each nostril). Applying pressure to this area can relieve nasal congestion and sinus pain.

7. Continue to massage vigorously for 1 minute.

Then massage with your fingers in circular motions for 2 minutes.

If you feel any pain, stop massaging immediately. If you have a buildup of pressure in your sinuses, you may feel this basic massage is a little intense, and this is normal. However, if you are experiencing severe pain, you should stop massaging and try other methods or consult a doctor.
