Any Ideas On Home Remedies For Sinus Congestion?
Posted by: Alan in Sinus Relief, tags: Congestion, Home, Ideas, Remedies, Sinus
I suffer from really bad allergies. Now I have a cold on top of that. My sinuses are really messed up, to the point of being swollen. I have tried over the counter mucus relief tablets but they are not doing much. I think I’m bordering on the lines of an infection! HELP!

The only things that really helped me was when my Dr. told me about a sinus wash that will kill bacteria.
you need
distilled water
sea salt
liquid chlorophyll and colloidal silver from the health food store.
in a glass mix 1/4 cup water with a pinch of salt and heat to body temperature.
add 5 drops each silver and chlorophyll and mix.
using a large dropper (like one used for infant medication) drop 2 full droppersfull into one side of the nose while laying down.
Turn the head and let it drain out the other nostril. Be sure to have paper towels handy.
The silver kills the bacteria and there are several hundred kind that can live in the sinus cavities and anti biotics don’t get rid of them all.
Do this twice a day for a week, mixing up the mixture fresh each time.
Then do it once a week for maintenance.
There is nothing in this that will hurt you, and it cured me.
I do not have to take claritin, or antibiotics anymore.
best wishes

If you think that you have a sinus infection, you must see a health care provider right away.
To help your symptoms, you may try the following:
1. Eat chicken soup. Scientists found out that some ingredients in chicken soup relieve nasal congestion.
2. Try nasal saline drops or spray 3-4 times a day. It moisturizes the nasal mucosa, washes away debris, and controls congestion.
3. Take vitamin C daily. It decreases production of histamines, so your allergies might not bother you as much.

Neti pots really help me to clear out the mucus and feel better. Plus the saltwater solution kills bacteria and germs. It helps my body fix itself faster. This is the one I have: http://www.sinucleanse.com/netipotlandin…
You can’t use regular salt, it has to be non-iodized. The sets are pretty cheap on ebay. You also need fluids, take a multivitamin to keep you healthy and get lots of rest. If it doesn’t clear up you should go to the doctor and get some antibiotics before it spreads to the rest of your respiratory tract.
