Clearing blocked sinuses?

Hi folks,

Just wondering if anyone has any good remedies to clear or prevent blocked sinuses? (apart from good old Sudafed).

I've done a search on here and tried a few things but am ideally looking for a method of easing sinus pain that does not involve drugs.

I have seen a post here on massaging the forehead (?) to force the fluid down into the lower cavities but cannot find any more specific info. I've tried it but not sure if I am doing it right.

Do a lot of unpressurised flying up to 10k. This is normally ok but any slight problem can be exacerbated after a few nights or a couple of ATC-induced rapid descents on tight approaches.

Any suggestions appreciated, no matter how strange
