They help me.  A lot.  Especially when a couple drops are put into steam and then inhaled.  Good ones are:  tea tree, eucalyptus, camphor, and mhyrr. I’ve even put a few drops of each into a small bottle that can be carried around and when my sinuses are really bothering me, simply open it up and take a few long, slow sniffs, one nostril at a time. Though to clear out your sinuses well steam inhalation really seems to work the best.  If you suspect seasonal allergies, try taking stinging nettle capsules.  2 every four hours or so does wonders.

My sinuses are irritated by gas heat, and lavendar oil has helped me a lot with that. I used to have a chronic sinus infection, and I got a lot of relief from the chiropracter.  The first time I had my neck adjusted, I felt my sinuses clear up!  It may or may not work for you, but if you can afford it, it’s worth a try. About a month ago, a nasty sinus infection went around at work.  I ate food loaded with chili peppers and garlic, and had the sinus infection for two days.  Other people went the traditional route, and had it for longer.
