A natural remedy to soothe or cure a sinus infection without anti-biotics is to inhale steam vapors periodically through the day. This is a very effective, yet simple and low cost home remedy for sinus infections. There are several ways to do this. Vicks actually make a nice machine you can pick up for around $10. It has a water holder and a mouth shaped plastic piece for you to rest your face on. You plug it in and it heats and creates vapors to clear your sinuses.
Vicks also makes a Vicks solution to mix with the water, however the machine can be used without the Vicks solution and just plain water.
A method is to bow your head over a bowl or a pot of hot water so that the steam can reach your face. Putting a towel over your head helps collect the steam and make this even more effective. The purpose of this is to thin the thick mucus in your sinuses.
A hot shower is another method of doing this however not as effective as the above mentioned methods.
