Painful when the sinuses or the middle ear are inflamed. Once the doctor has confirmed this condition, the healing process can be accelerated a little with a red light lamp. The infrared rays penetrate deep into the tissue and can promote blood circulation there. As a result, the immune cells reach the inflammation faster. Red light lamps can now be bought almost everywhere, e.g. also on Amazon.
Home remedies – Red light for sinusitis or middle ear infections
To do this, set up the infrared lamp at a distance of approx. 40 cm (it is best to try it out first, the heat should be felt as pleasant) and, depending on the device, irradiate the affected area for 5 – 15 minutes. This can be repeated several times a day.
Caution: This procedure should not be used in case of acute fever.
