I used lotus root but maybe it was just the
repeating of irrigation, heating, steam, positive and negative pressure...

Exactly how did you use the lotus root, and postive/negative pressure?
I'm glad you got some relief.

I'm not a doctor, I don't want to suggest something wrong or maybe right
just for my situation.(the left sinus was completely blocked maybe because
of a stenosis in the duct)
Anyway this is what I did:
I used an inhaler with drugs my doctor suggested.
I irrigated frequently with saline + backing soda
turning my head upside down, filling ALL MY SINUSES with
the solution. then I applied positive and negative pressure as if
I was breathing but closing the nostrils so the pressure is applied
everywhere including the sinuses (my ears didn't suffered so much)
the second day I also made a tea from the lotus root and I drank and
added it to the saline.
in the evening the sinus finally opened and I had a relief.
Maybe the lotus root was completely unuseful but that's what happened ...
Try on google. It is a remedy from ayurvedic medicine.

I forgot to mention the heating I applied to my forehead using
hot water or a cherry seeeds bag.
Who knows what did the trick anyway it worked ...
