Believe it or not…
My mother told me to use salt water soultion to rinse my sinuses when I was a kid. As an adult, I had chronic sinusitus (sp ?). I was tired of the constant antibiotics… So I tried it, and it worked for me !
Essentially sterile sea wate is all you need – sniff into each nostril, and blow, alternated each side 3 times in the morning… it is also done in yoga. Get the mixture of course salt and distilled water from a sympathetic pharmacist if you can, you need to remember the molarity ratios…

Cheers

To soothe a stubborn cough (and may help minor respiratory afflictions), smear a thin coat of Vick’s Vapor Rub OR mentholatum salve ON THE BOTTOMS OF YOUR FEET (in center). This will soothe even the nastiest cough that won’t respond to over-the-counter remedies.

Don’t forget to cut out the dairy products during the active phase of a sinus problem. Dairy is mucous stimulating.

A natural health doctor recommended a change in diet after several months of having a swollen throat and three different antibiotics that did not work.

Cut out all white starch from your diet and take echinacea tablets. it has worked wonders for me and my son. So now I try to substitue these items with whole grain cereals, wheat bread and pasta, brown rice, etc. The echinacea is a natural antibiotic that boosts your immune system to fight off disease naturally. It even helps you avoid getting colds and flus even in the worst seasons of the year, without any flu shots.

I have had a sinus infection for over a year with asthma to boot. I had sinus surgery last winter and I am taking allergy shots. I had sinus and green mucus for the past three weeks. My sinus problem is not going away and seems to be getting worse. My asthma attacks have increase, and I think that the sinuses are linked. Once I had my surgery, I did not have an asthma attack for three weeks. I am big on natural cures so, I researched for remedies for sinus problems and found this site. I bought a bottle of apple cider vinegar today; because it certainly would not hurt to try. The cost is less severe than my nasal spray, allergy pills, and inhaler. I was spending 75. a month on these items and something had to give. After dinner, I mixed me up a dose of apple cider vinegar and water, as recommended, and began to intake the liquid. Thirty minutes had past since I have gulped the mixture; my sinuses stopped running and when I blow my nose it is clear. WOW! I even feel better. Now, I cannot wait to try the remedy that is listed on your site for asthma. All I need now is a cure for the empty wallet! Thanks for this tip it has really helped me.

Olive leaf capsules – for a bad infection, use 3 pills three times a day.
