[YEA] 12/14/2010: Addie222 from Morgantown, Wv writes: "I love this site and have come here many times to naturally treat several ailments. After reading everything you had on Sinus treatments I made my own. My two children (at the time 2 and 5) had awful sinus stuff... On allergy medicines and nose sprays that made their noses bleed. They had inherited my bad sinuses and were never without a stuffed up nose or ear infection. I tried the ACV drink and it did help, but there was no way I was getting a 1 year old and a 4 year old to drink ACV!
I made my own solution and put it in an old nose spray bottle and I do two squirts per side on the oldest and myself and 1 squirt for the youngest. They do not like to leave it up there too long and prefer to blow it out. It still helps even though they blow it out. When I do it, I try to leave it up there as long as I can. It is good to blow after though, you get out a lot of gunk. I've reduced my sinus infection doctor visits from 1 per month to 1 per season and the boys have visited the doctor only for strep throat, not sinus or ear infections and they are now 4 and 7 years old! They re off all medicines (allergy and sprays). My doctor and my husband think I'm crazy and it's all in my head. But I know better and I think the pediatrician is starting to believe me!
Here's my recipe... (all measurements are approximate. I don't usually measure, just "eye-ball" it, but I tried to make it as close to what I do as possible. Also, I err on the side of more mild than strong as the boys don't like the "sting")
1/2 cup warm water
About a 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of salt
About 1 teaspoon of ACV (organic, with "the mother")
About 50-60 DROPS of GSE (Grapefruit Seed Extract)
I mix it up in a measuring cup and pour it into the mist-er nose spray bottle. If it's too strong, I add salt water. If it's not strong enough, I add a bit more ACV and GSE. When you spray it, look down at your feet. That way it won't drain down your throat. I keep the left over in a small bottle and refill the sprayer whenever I need it. I hope this helps someone. Especially those of you who don't think you could stomach the ACV drink!"

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, CAYENNE NASAL FLUSH

06/27/2011: Nettle from London, England writes: "Question for Ted:
I think my sinuses are blocked. I still feel flu like symptoms (achy with slight temp, headache, dry cough especially when lying down to sleep, earache with weird numbness around left ear with echoing only in one ear now), exacerbated at night time in particular. I have reduced pnasal drip (green mucus) and sore throat since doing Apple Cider Vinegar drops in water and sinus rinsing, as well as cayenne mixture (1tsp) with honey (1tbs) and Apple Cider Vinegar (1tbs).
I dont know if I have strep infection? but no white patches anywhere in mouth. Done a few of your remedies and it has helped with some of the symptoms in particular no more nausea! Also, used Hydrogen peroxide drops in ear today and no effect at all.
Question: If sinuses are blocked, then pndrip will continue as not getting green discharge through nose - how do I introduce cayenne into nostrils? Can I add cayenne powder to sinus rinse Apple Cider Vinegar and water mixture or should I sniff cayenne powder straight into nostril and if so how much??
Do you think my thinking about blocked sinuses/psdrip etc makes sense? Thanks"
Replies06/28/2011: Nettle from London, England replies: "Ear pain (both ears) and sore throat gone this morning! However, both ears are now blocked, muffled hearing like I have just come off a long haul flight. I feel that I need to "pop" my ears -pinching nose and blowing thr nose has not worked. Any ideas then please respond. Still wondering whether to sniff cayenne powder into each nostril and if so how much - Has anyone tried this? Or should I now just be patient and give my sinuses time to decongest?
Still have a little post nasal drip (green discharge - yuk), so sinuses must still be congested with infection? Also, have developed a tickley cough - gonna try one of the garlic soup recipes from this website. Will continue with all of yesterdays remedies re:acv, cayenne and neti. This site is fabulous!"

It made me have to blow my nose for about 5 minutes straight, but an hr and a half later, I am clear as a bell. A sinus infection set in 2 days ago and yesterday I started oil of oregano pills and nasal spray with grapefruit seed extract. I felt better when I got up today, but the cayenne/ACV rinse has really done the trick. Thanks Earth Clinic."

I find acv & honey help a lot.I use only acv with the "mother" in it and raw honey if you can get it. I saw a doctor on tv yrs ago who said he found out that it was a fungus that lies deep in the back of the head, which is dormant most of the time. I use olive leaf extract which is anti-fungul and I also use olive leaf nose spray plus a neti pot. Ask your DR. for anti-fungul medicine. Olive leaf kills many viruses and bad bacteria and fungae. Use according to directions on olive leaf products. I use 1 tbls.acv & 1 tbls, honey."

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, SALT AND PROPOLIS SINUS RINSE

[YEA] 02/05/2010: Daniel from Berlin, Germany writes: "Hi! Its only 5 days ago i found your site.
Want to give you great credits for all the good information i found here...thanks to all !!
I found it cause i got back my painfull and disturbing sinus infection again (wich happens with me always 2 ,3 times a year,with headaches,totally ,,blocked,, nose and forhead,swollen eyes,no energy etc.) I even believe that this chronic sinus problem is due to some sort of unknown deficiency in my body that also makes me more ,,down,, then many others throughout the year..but this is a guess.
anyway:
This time i brewed my own mucus ,,releaser,,
Since i discovered the kosher salt and the himalaya salt which is the main worker in this liquid, iam so happy to be able to quickly loosen up all the mucus up there so that it is not ,,exploding,, my head anymore.
my recipe is:
(mix acording to feeling and strength and amount of solution needed)
-nice Kosher salt or himalaya salt.
-some healthy green tea
-bit of lime
-5 drops of good bee propolis (solution in alcohol)
-bit of (good!) olive oil, or take self made oregano oil.
(of course carefull with this strong recipe on kids please)
mix until dissolved in a bowl that,s not your newly bought porcelin wedgewood bowl .the oils and the propolis will not dissolve of course and float around a bit on the liquid,no problem.
Also the propolis is brownish and looks a bit strange...but in fact it,s very good stuff (bees use it in their nests as an anti virus) ...bring in the nose and let run. It can sting a bit for a few secs and is a sort of horsemethod i think
If you bring it in in bed (laying with head backwards) then have loads of toiletpaper ready!
--Nevertheless!--
This rinse does al lot in preventing the alongcoming head aches, further illness and weakening in sinus infections and the first steps of curing faster, but it is NOT completely taking away the total cause of the infection.
Since i live in the countryside close to Berlin i get hold here of an excellent mild tasting,raw Apple Cider Vinegar quality which i took 3 times daily in my applejuice (2,5 tablespoons in a glass and a pinch of natriumhydrogencarbonate( baking soda) but note :only since 4 days!!!
I must say reading all the reactions about ACV i was a bit reserved...but i took it and it almost immediately stopped further closening of the sinus,it stopped the depressive feeling coming with it and although i somehow still feel the infection is still there...it,s being noticebly surpressed by the ACV. I was working again almost immediately and i feel marvelous !
Normally this sort of illness knocks me out 2 weeks minimal.
Wow, this is amazing stuff..
I try some other qualities of biological ACV now but i find them much sharper in taste..the one from the region here did the wonders but tastes so good!
Other effects : better skin ,better hair (i also put some directly on the scalp,undiluted, and after that some carrot,rosemary oil) and further it helps a better digestion.
hope this can take away any doubts with new readers..
i was just another sucker who believed for too long that the ,,normal ,, doctors were able to help me on this .
take care!
Daniel"

I decided to put apple cider vinegar into my sinus rinse "pot", along with 1/2 cup spring water, 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp baking soda. The first time I tried this, I used way too much acv (est 1-1/2 tbl). I bravely pored the mixture in both nostrils - hurt a LOT and the mucus began to flow freely. I was up and down all night, carefully blowing my nose, but the next day ohhh what uncongested nasal passages! Susequent irrigations weren't as painful, now that the infection has cleared up, but I rinse once daily anyway to clear out the remains of the infection. See in another post my experiences with cinnamon/clove/thyme oils."

AROMATHERAPY

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 12/26/2010: Abigail from Lawrence, Ks writes: "I've had a sinus infection for over a year. It showed up in varying degrees of intensity (some days there was just a mild ache and light post-nasal drip, some days there were huge headaches, some days there were major nose stuffiness/runniness and ear aches... ) but it was always there. I'm not a medicine taker, unless it's absolutely necessary, so mostly I just suffered with it. I drank hot tea and used heat packs on my face to bring relief when it was bad. Oh, and I used a colloidal silver nose spray; this helped a lot, but it never brought true healing, since the infection kept coming back. I don't have money to go to a doctor to get a prescription, and I read that antibiotics usually don't work on sinus infections anyway, since they are usually fungal in nature.
Once, while at the health food store, I saw some aromatherapy oil being advertised as helpful for sinus infections. I know I'm not supposed to mention brand names, so I'll just say that it is a mixture of essential oils like lavender, tea tree, myrtle, peppermint, and others that I don't recognize. (I don't know much about aromatherapy/essential oils... ) You put a few drops on your pinky and apply it underneath your nostrils to breathe in the fumes. For long-term infections, you should do this 3-4 times per day. They say it takes 8-10 weeks for the infection to disappear completely. I've been doing it for 5 weeks now, and I can tell the infection is almost gone. Hallelujah! Every time I apply the oil, I can feel the fumes working in my nose and going up to the sinuses. Then about 5 minutes later my nose starts running, and I am able to blow out some mucous chunks (sorry to be gross! ) I haven't suffered a sinus headache once during this time.
Most days I don't even feel the infection anymore. It does come back occasionally, so I know I'm not completely healed, but there has been great progress. And I haven't finished the 8-10 weeks yet anyway. But for those suffering from sinus infections, definitely give this a try! It's not painful at all, and there's no discomfort or drowning feeling, like there is with the nettipot. (I just can't do the nettipot. ~shiver~)"

In Baldwin County along the Gulf Coast the roads here are dirt or red clay probably about 4 to 5 miles on my route. During the dry months the dirt covers the vehicles inside and out and of course your hair, body and you breathe in the dirt particles in your nose and mouth. I would suffer with horrible headaches in the evenings and morning until I discovered Nitty (rinsing your nose with water and small drops of hydrogen peroxide) it's wonderful at removing the dirt and pollen that gets trapped inside your sinus cavity. I do this immediately when I get home and no headaches."

A study was done by the Univ of Penn. recommend mixing up a saline irrigation solution with 1% baby shampoo. The theory is this: Bacteria and fungus form a protective bio-film as a way of self preservation. This slime coat is believed to be the reason why anitbiotics and other natural cures are less effective in getting to the bacterial infection. By breaking down this bio-barrier, there higher success at eliminating the infection. The article can be found here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18284857?dopt=Abstract.

I hope this helps."

A MSDS sheet for Betadine stated the following: "Reactivity - A mixture of equal parts of a 10% povidone iodine solution (Betadine) and hydrogen peroxide 3% exploded about 100 minutes after mixing." Folks, this is the normal Betadine and hydrogen peroxide that you buy in the store! I was actually considering putting a few drops of these in some salt water and using it in an atomizing spray bottle (these are normally called "non-drip."). Not any more! On the other hand, after all of their warninings, I like the few drops of Betadine in a spray bottle of salt water, it works great! Betadine is one of the few things that kills viruses, it is stable in storage and and has a residual effect. To be on the safe side I will be keeping an eye out for possible iodine toxicity.

Another website states "REMEMBER: Betadine and tincture of iodine are not the same thing. Tincture of iodine is NOT safe to use. Tincture of Iodine is poisonous! Never use tincture of iodine when piercing skin. It dangerously inflames mucus membranes and if put on a wound or piercing it can result in a toxic level of iodine absorption." Therefore, I think I'll stick with the Betadine. http://www.phlebotomypages.com/iodine.htm"

My grandfather was an herbalist during the early 1900's. His remedy, which I've always found effective, was to boil a large sliced onion with a tablespoon of coarse salt and enough ACV to cover. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer got 20-30 minutes. Breathing these vapors will sting a bit but is helpful. After cooking you can use 1-2 Tbs of this in warm water to drink or simple sip the straight concoction once cooled. It keeps well for a few weeks when refrigerated. Onion juice contains a natural antibiotic which compliments the mucolytic effect of the vinegar."

I have found that if you put the cayenne pepper in a ziplock bag around your mouth and nose, blowing into the bag with your mouth, then inhaling the disturbed dust into your nose is the best way to administer the cayenne for a sinus infection. You can repeat the process many times throughout the day rather that snorting it all at once which causes discomfort."

Also, this pepper is a pain killer of sorts so it will make you feel better for a bit. But the initial pain was pretty amazing for me. Scale of 1 to 10 I'm thinking at least 7. It tappers off quickly, within a few minutes I'm down to a 5 or so. My nose feels like it's on fire. It seems to have helped. I used about 1/20th of a teaspoon, a very small amount. Then immediately blew my nose and most of it came out. I can now feel the pepper running down the back of my throat. Awesome.
My situation is I had a cold then got a sinus infection. I have had this for about 3 days or so.
I only did this 10 mins ago (etc) so I'm unsure of the long term effects but in the short term it does seem to have some beneficial effects."

CAYENNE PEPPER

[YEA] 01/29/2009: Ray from Tampa , Florida writes: "For a few years I was getting sinusitis which was dripping into my chest and causing further havoc. It would last several weeks usually and leave me miserable with a low grade fever the whole time.
I had used Cayenne Pepper before but sporadically. I was told (don't remember where) that Cayenne Pepper in liquid form mixed with Fizzy Vitamin C would help clear it up. I purchased some CP and mixed it 20-25 drops into one or two packs of Emergen C and poured approx. 10 ounces of lemonade into the mix and drank it down. The effervessence of the Fizzy C seems to help deliver the cayenne pepper more actively to the mucus membranes. The CP must also kill some of the bacteria that is forming in the sinus cavity and mucus lining.
I usually drink it slowy over a minute or two. It doesn't take long but I begin to expell mucus that seems to be loosened up. During the beginning of a cold or sinus condition I start this immediately and have never had a full or even annoying recurrence in almost 10 years. You can do the same thing with a nasal wash but be careful to use only a partial drop of cayenne with some dead sea salt and water to clear stubborn nasal passages if necessary. I have only had to do it once or twice but it is effective. My wife even used a mild cayenne wash for her eyes when we first met and it helped clear up a stubborn infection. I hope this helps someone as it has helped me many times over the years."

It wasnt long ago that I came down with a bad sinus infection, cough, and fatigue. I decided to boil water on the stove, and add cayenne(open 3 capsules and pour them in), crushed garlic(4 cloves),half an onion, and grated ginger. THIS COMBINATION IS AMAZING. It is SO powerful. The most vital ingredients are the cayenne and garlic, but the onion and ginger are also very helpful. Make sure and boil everything until the onion is mushy, and the garlic is too. Keep a lid on, but every so often inhale the steam from the boiling remedy.. very soothing! Pour it into a glass and drink the whole thing. It is very potent, so what I do is add honey to it and it really tastes like liquid food- like a soup base or something.
Another remedy that I use is cayenne tea- just put a tea bag of your favorite tea in boiling water, and add a capsule of cayenne & some honey. Since I have been using cayenne in tea, and orally, and drinking the onion ginger garlic tincture, I rarely get sick.. and when I do, I can kick it within 3 days maximum. Cayenne is also extremely helpful for menstrual cramps."

Reading the other posts I figured I'ld give it a try. My temperature was around 102 and my head and sinus areas killing me. Lots of yellow discharge. Lots of pain. I was not doing well. So, rather hastily and unscientifically I put a couple of shakes of organic Cayenne Pepper into about a Tablespoon of water in a teacup. I used a Q-tip to put it each nostril a couple times each and snorted it up. I then bent over and kept snorting. I followed with a Q-tip dipped in water to get more movement and snorted some more. My mixture may have been a bit intense. It burned alright, my eyes teared as if I was bawling like a baby and I had a few sneezing fits. I hung on for a few minutes and then blew my nose. Put some more water in there and snorted a bit more. Ten minutes later there was a definite change. My head still hurt and my nose was on fire! Then after about another 15-20 minutes most of the pressure in my head left and when I tried blowing my nose, no colored discharge! My temperature went down to 99 and I no longer had the chills. It worked! It worked! One of God's amazing wonders! Thank you everyone for sharing."

It did sting a bit but wasn't nearly as uncomfortable as not being able to breathe through my nose, just a relief to feel some shift in the pressure in my head. Anyway... Yay! If you've been feeling like you have a sinus infection, and you don't want to take antibiotics, what do you have to lose? (I'm super prone to these so I usually I can feel them coming on and know when I have one before I get diagnosed. ) Anyhow, I wish I hadn't been so skeptical, I could have been out of my misery much sooner."
