TOMATO TEA FEEDBACK

[YEA]  02/05/2009: Dianne from Kinmount, Ontario, Canada writes: "Tomato tea for sinus: WOW - this was amazing. After 2 days of suffering I decided to do some research and found this site. I thought this was taste horrid.....but I was wrong. It was actually very soothing and tasted pretty good. It worked in about 2-3 minutes. "

[YEA]  02/04/2009: Darren from Lawrence, KS writes: "Tomato Tea for common cold....

This stuff opened my right up and I was able to sleep...took a couple rounds but started feeling better then next day. I didn't have any cayenne or tobasco handy so I used some Southwest Seasoning mix in the pantry (it had Cayenne and dried chili peppers in it)"

[YEA]  01/26/2009: Sarah from Moodus, CT writes: "I absolutely love this recipe. I tend to get chronic sinus infections, and this really helps every time. I have passed it on to everyone I know!"

[YEA]  01/04/2009: Carol from Delray Beach, FL writes: "Tomato Tea is Fantastic!!!

I was desparate with a cold to find a cure. I decided to try the Tomato Tea (although I prefer to call it Tomato Soup). I took one cup in the morning and one cup at night and within three days the cold was gone. I went to visit my daughter in Okeechobee. She works in the radiology department of a local hospital. She had a terrible cold and was treating it with otc drugs, to no avail. I made up a 'tea' for her in the evening when she got home. We couldn't find the hot sauce so we used cayenne pepper (as much as she could stand). She took the tea before bed for two nights - and was cold-free by the time she awoke on the third day. This is fantastic! Thank you so much! By the way, my daughter told everyone at the hospital about this remedy."

[YEA]  12/24/2008: Norma from Boston, MA writes: "I have been suffering from sinus congestion all week, nothing OTC was working. I googles home remedies and found this Tomato Tea. I just finished it and am already feeling better. Breathing clearer for the first time in days. OH Thank you Jean!!!!"

[YEA]  12/18/2008: Heather from Albuquerque, NM writes: "Thank you so much for the tomato tea recipe. I had severe congestion, fever, chills. and aches. I sent my husband out to get all the ingredients and then he made it for me. I was very skeptical because I felt so crappy, but it worked. After i drank two cups, one passage cleared and stayed clear all night, although I had another cup around 2am. It is now 9am and am having another cup and feel so much better. Fever, chills, and muscle aches are gone too. I am a firm believer!!! Thank you!!"

[YEA]  11/27/2008: Lee from Knoxville, Tn writes: "Thank you for the Tomato Tea remedy....I had had sinus congestion and drainage for a week without any relief in sight and came across this website. I tried the tea and felt immediately better! I also added 2 Tablespoons honey, one-quarter teaspoon onion powder, one-half teaspoon of a combination of herbs: (rosemary,thyme, sage, marjoram, black pepper and nutmeg = poultry seasoning) to tomato juice - the V8 costs twice as much! - and my persistent sinus headache (which was making my upper jawbone throb)went away. Thanks again! This is an awesome and beneficial website."

[YEA]  11/24/2008: Maureen from Portland, ME writes: "I was having trouble breathing and had the WORST cold I have had in a long time. So, I checked out the website for your cold remedies and saw the "hot soup." I drank it 3 times in one day. I put in as much garlic and hot sauce as I could because I know how good that is for the body. Besides, I couldn't taste it. Well, it didn't clear up my passages all that well. That only lasted a few minutes. BUT! I went to bed, slept like a BABY and woke up and the cold was GONE! Another friend of mine has had a cold for 3 weeks and here, mine only lasted one day! I was amazed! Thank you so much!"

[WORKED TEMPORARILY]  11/23/2008: Ryan from Coventry, CT, USA writes: "I have horrible nasal congestion from when I go to bed until the next morning. The only thing that has worked effectively has been the nasal spray from the drug store, but I can't use that every day. 3 days on, 2 days off. I sound retarded with my nose like this. I tried the tomato tea as instructed and it worked for 10 minutes."

[YEA]  10/28/2008: Debbie from Pt. Pleasant Beach, NJ writes: "Well i followed the recipe for Spicy Tomato Tea........it is almost midnight and I cannot breathe due to a sinus infection and/or cold...I have been taking a myriad of over the counter cold meds along with doing numerous sinus irrigations and nothing....I have not been this congested in a long time. I am exhausted from not sleeping. In my recipie I used V8 juice, lemon juice, garlic salt and a lot of hot sauce which I heated in a saucepan......It is sooooooooo hot; however I knew that the hotter the better.....I am slowly sipping it and inhaling the fumes too..already I can feel my sinuses drain although I think I used too much hot sauce b/c my mouth is also burning...Be ware if you do not like hot & spicy things this is not the cure for you...It worked for me....thanks "

[YEA]  10/24/2008: Karalyn from Lynwood, IL writes: "Well, I am drinking the tea now, surprisingly it is quite tasty. Prior to this drink, one could not pay me enough to drink tomato juice or try hot sauce. After about ten minutes I can feel my sinus passages in my cheecks warming up and I can breath out of both nostrills. I havent done that in years. Hopefully it will continue to work so I can go back to work. My sinus pressure was miserable up until now. I will write more later on further results.

I used a cup of tomato juice
2tsp hot sauce
1 clove fresh garlic
1 tsp lemon juice"

[YEA]  10/19/2008: Ed from Chattanooga, TN, USA writes: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Dr. was sending me to the E.R. because the pain was so severe. But I tried your tea first and it worked great. Actually tasted good too. Surprized me. Thanks again. Oh yeah, my sinuses were completely stopped up and had been for 4 days. We followed the recipe as closely as possible, the hot sauce was by taste."

[YEA]  10/18/2008: Cindy from Richmond, Virginia, USA writes: "Suffering from frequent and severe sinus problems, I tried the tomato tea this morning out of sheer desparation. It WORKED! I've been drinking it all morning, sinuses slightly better with each cup. I didn't have V8 or tomato juice, used fire roasted tomatoes and fresh. Yummy, too! Thank you so much!"

[YEA]  10/15/2008: BB from Louisville, KY writes: "For relief in about 10 minutes I would recommend this tea/soup to anyone suffering from sinus congestion or a sinus infection. I used 2 cups of V8, a few squeezes from a real lemon, 4 cloves of garlic (used a press which basically makes it half minced and half juice), and a various mixture of cayenne pepper, green (jalapeno) Tabasco sauce, and Blair's Death Sauce (mostly habanero peppers). I drank some at night and fell asleep able to breathe through both nostrils and woke up with no congestion. Had some more tea/soup at lunch today and although my condition hasn't worsened I'm having a bit more before bed. The inflammation is still present but it's only been 24 hours so I'll be patient and see if it continues to work or clear the infection without antibiotics. The only regiment I'm doing in addition to this is saline irrigation (Neti Pot) every few hours. The combination is keeping me from wanting to remove my head from my body. So far I'm pleased and will report back if it in fact "cures" my sinus infection!"

[SIDE EFFECTS]  09/14/2008: Lara from College Station, TX writes: "I would NOT recommend trying the spicy tomato tea if you are pregnant. I am 6 months pregnant and I thought I would try this when I got a bad case of congestion. I ended up getting even worse heartburn that kept me miserable and awake for half the night!! This drink has everything they tell you to avoid for heartburn (citric acid from tomato and lemon juice plus the hot sauce), but I didn't give it much thought because I haven't had much of an issue with heartburn like some people do during pregnancy (I only had it mildly one other time)."

[WORKED TEMPORARILY]  08/17/2008: Jen from Portsmouth, New Hampshire writes: "I have been taking ACV for my seasonal allergies for a couple of weeks and it has worked wonders. Unfortunately, today I had to clean out our rental property that was filthy with cigarette smoke, dust, pet hair ect... A few hours after I finished, my allergies started acting up and the ACV didn't quite cut it. I can't breath from my nose, and my sinus' are very congested. I tried irrigating, but it didn't really work. I just tried the tomato tea without the lemon because I don't have any in the house and the stores are closed. It really helped while I was drinking it, but as soon as I finished it the congestion came back. I am going to drink some more before I try to go back to sleep. I can't wait to try it with the lemon. I'm going to drink it all day tomorrow. By the way I love the taste! I use raw garlic and cayenne all of the time to fight infections. I've grown accustom to the taste. Thank God for such inexpensive natural remedies!"

[YEA]  08/14/2008: Shani from Atlanta, GA writes: "Thank you so much for this suggestion. After days of popping extra strength Tylenol to alleviate the pain from nasal congestion I goggle searched a home remedy solution and found the recipe for tomato tea. All I had was some organic tomato soup which has seasonings including garlic in it but it absolutely helped! I drank two cups heated in the microwave and a day later I feel so much better and can concentrate at work and I'm not in pain. Thank you, thank you, thanks you!!!"

[YEA]  08/10/2008: Feroze from Mumbai, India writes: "i have sinusitus since i was very little. severe tooth ache, ear ache, and jaw pain, to the extent that i can not open my mouth.
have tried all sorts of remedies from accupressure to magnet therapy to steroids. initially, the only thing that worked were medicated nose drops, but soon they stopped working (i guess my body got used to it) and in some cases they do cause more congestion.

one cup of tomato tea seems to have caused immediate relief. reheated in micro twice. used one chopped up red chilli and three cloves of garlic and used canned tomato juice. otherwise followed recipe exactly. one thing i thought of was instead of using crushed garlic, chopped garlic might be better. this causes the user to chew up the garlic pieces in his/her mouth, effectively holding the juice in the mouth longer . thank you very much for this near magical concoction. i will write again if i find it to be a long term cure..."

[YEA]  07/12/2008: Mandy from Fort Collins, CO writes: "Thank you to the person who posted this recipe! I have a bad sinus infection and went to the doctor who prescribed antibiotics. I decided to try this recipe before filling the prescription and you know what? I think I will cure this with the tomato tea alone and not have to take any other meds. I was fully congested and could not breath thru my nose but after drinking the tea it cleared me right up. I am definitely on the mend. I used all fresh ingredients. Thank you!"

[YEA]  07/09/2008: Jason from LA, CA writes: "I've had a sinus headache for months and have been at wit's end. I wasn't even sure it was a sinus headache because I felt it in my forehead more than my nose. I didn't expect anything from Jeannie's Spicy Tomato Tea recipe, but I followed her instructions regarding ingredients, measurements and sipping (slowly, holding it in, inhaling while the tea is in the back of the throat) and the next day I noticed less sinus pressure. I couldn't believe the instant relief. Over the last few days I've drank the tea in the morning, night or both and it's had amazing results. I have only a tiny bit of pressure left. When drinking the tea, my nose only runs slightly, if at all, and my eyes sometimes water a tiny bit, so I don't know where the sinus congestion is going, but I know it's leaving my head and upper nose. My head feels almost totally clear again. I cannot thank Jeannie enough for the relief from tremendous and previously uncurable pain. This recipe has worked wonders for me, and I'm a major skeptic. Note: I read that many sinus headaches are caused by repressed grief or anger. I know this is true in my case, so I'd advise others to consider that as well. Regardless, the tea heals."

[YEA]  07/03/2008: Kristy O. from Kennesaw, GA writes: "For over a month now I have had a terrible cough and I am constantly clearing my throat (3 -5 times every minute), which is extremely embarrassing and annoying, especially to others around me. On a recent plane flight, I chose as my beverage a can of Bloody Mary mix instead of a soda. Within minutes my coughing stopped and I did not need to clear my throat for nearly an hour. I couldn't believe it. When I got home I searched the web and thankfully found your site. I cannot wait to try your recipe and I expect it will have the same results that I experienced with the store-bought Bloody Mary mix. Thank you!"

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  05/04/2008: Jennifer from Mentor, Ohio writes: "All I can say is "thank you" for this recipe.' I've been sick for 3 days with acute bronchitis.' I haven't been able to sleep well, but tonight was the worst. I've been up all night coughing, sneezing, and in pain. I found this recipe with some reservation, as I've taken just about everything you can buy over the counter, but half an hour later I am here to tell you I'm not coughing. I'm not saying I'm "better", but I will be able to go to sleep now. My sinuses quit draining and my chest doesn't even hurt as much. Thanks for the info."

[YEA]  04/28/2008: Alice from New Fairfield, CT writes: "I tried this tea a few weeks ago because I had a really bad cold and my nose would NOT stop running. After 2 boxes of tissues in one afternoon I came on here and found this remedy. My nose stopped running immediately as soon as I drank it! I came on here today to recommend it to a friend...HI KAT...I have found so many great remedies and I intend to try and stay on a steady regimen of taking cayenne pepper for all of the health benefits. I love this website and recommend it to all my friends now. Thank you to all who shared their remedies and feedback!"

[NAY]  04/18/2008: Renata from St. James, Trinidad writes: "I was suffering very badly all of yesterday with my sinuses, even my teeth hurt. I found the recipe online. I used all the original ingredients, V8, fresh lemon juice, 4 cloves of garlic, and 3 different types of pepper sauces (of course being in the caribbean I have many at home, so I used my hottest). I even added Whorchestershire sauce and a celery stick to make in like a bloody Mary. I had my first cup last night. It didn't seen to do anything. I kept an open mind and had a second cup this morning, but still it had no effect. I used lots of hot sauce, almost to the point of not being able to drink it, but nothing.The taste is nice, the drinking is fulling. I'm sure its very healthy. I think I'd be better off using it as a meal replacement to help me lose some unwanted pounds, though than for sinus relief."
