What are your top 10 favourite home remedies for congested sinuses? Yes, 10, no cheating! ; ^ )?
Posted by: Alan in sinus remedies, tags: cheating, Congested, favourite, Home, Remedies, SinusesI know this isn’t a sinus infection or flu (I’ve had BOTH this year and this is different). I’m pretty sure it’s hayfever/pollen as it’s just coming into spring here in Aus. I’ve got some over the counter medications and I’m downing Green Tea and spicy chili basil chicken. What are YOUR ideas?

Tom Yum Goong soup. It’s a Thai dish with shrimp, lemon grass, mushrooms and chiles! Had some tonight and my sinuses are as clear as Tahitian water!

1) Look at giving up dairy permanently.
Buy homeopathic Sabadilla or Solidago or Pulsatilla. Read some books about the homeopathic treatment of disease for the layperson such as Everybody’s Guide to Homeopathic Medicine by Dana Ullman or (my preference) Homeopathic Medicine At Home by Maesimund Panos and Jane Heimlich. This should get you started. Homeopathic medicine is great, b/c it’s inexpensive, highly effective, non-toxic and if you choose the wrong remedy for your symptom profile, it simply will not work, it won’t hurt you.
2) Ginger tea
3) Look at using a neti pot–that is snorting warmed salted water. Works GREAT. Low tech. Low cost. Easy and good fer ya.
4) Hot yourself up and put lots of chilis and cayenne in your body.
5) If you decide you are having congested sinuses caused by allergies, look at Bioallers products. They’ve helped me alot.
6) Put lots of fresh lemon and lime juice in your drinking water and diet. This really helps me!
7) Look at purchasing some feverfew capsules or tincture. This is a classic simple for hayfever/allergy symptoms, and is not terribly expensive.
9) Put tons of greens and fresh veggies in your diet and massively cut down on the red meats, eggs and full fat (sometimes even ALL) dairy. Allergies are made much worse by eating lots of these foods.
10) Go on a liver/gallbladder and colon cleanse using French clay and tonifying liver herbs. E-mail me if you want more info about this. In TCM, (Traditional Chinese Medicine), there is a huge relationship between the health of your colon and the health of your respiratory system.
