[YEA] 05/23/2006: Nancy from Carmichael, CA writes: "Both my sinuses were totally clogged. Within five minutes of drinking the tea my left nostil/sinus are totally clear, the right side is substantially better. My throat which was very dry and scratchy was making me cough constantly. That's much better now, too. I was worried about the possibility of getting heartburn from the hot sauce, but so far (it's been thirty minutes) I have not had a problem. I used a V8 since I had no tomato juice and it was actually pretty good. I had been using Afrin, but it says to discontinue after using for three days and this was day four. Thank you so much, I'll be able to sleep tonight."

[YEA] 05/16/2006: Andrew from Edina, MN writes: "I was extremely skeptical about this since I have been suffering from a chronic sinus infection for over 2 months. I had in the past taken multiple doses of antibiotics with only moderate results. My health plan recently changed, so I figured I would give this a try before paying much more to go to the doctors. I picked up the ingredients, and tried Tabasco sauce as the hot sauce. I warmed it in the microwave for 1 minute. It smelled absolutely terrible, and the taste was not great. I could stomach it, but it was like taking shots of alcohol... you had to take a deep breath and slam as much as possible and hold it down. I didn't even finish the whole thing, but I finished 80% of it. Within an hour, and still, hours later, my sinuses are clearing up! My throat is sore from all the draining, but this cure definitely worked! I will try a second round tonight. Despite the terrible smell, and slightly less terrible taste, it was well worth it to finally get this cleared up, and for only $8 worth of ingredients! Thanks for the recipe!"

I had been using Afrin to open my sinuses and it worked but it always hurts and it only lasts for a couple of hours... I drank the juice around 1:00 and it opened my sinuses right away I still feel good and it tasted really good to me :)... I will be drinking some more of that today!"

I haven't even finished drinking it and the swelling in my throat has gone down so much and I can breathe through both nostrils! I suggest using as much hot sauce as you can handle... so far no heartburn."

[YEA] 04/21/2006: Mike from Upstate NY writes: "I tried the Tomato Tea after reading about it here. I was so congested that I was unable to sleep, it was also making it difficult to eat. I was a mess. I tried the Tomato Tea as a last resort, I wish I had tried it first. I drank the first cup and had no results, then I had a second about 2 hours later. The result was not instant, but within about 2 more hours I was completely clear. To be honest I was amazed it worked so well, and to top it off it tasted like thick tomato soup, which was pretty nice. Thanks for this recipe!!!"

[YEA] 04/20/2006: Alan from Dundalk, Ireland writes: "Tomato tea cured my blocked nose and headache. I had made onion, leek and garlic soup before which worked but so did the tomato tea in fact when I whizzed the mixture in the pan - whatever ingredients are in the tabasco sauce vaporized and cleared all nasals in the kitchen. Thanks."

[YEA] 04/05/2006: Natalie from Elizabeth, CO writes: "I had the flu for 10 days as did everyone in my house, but when they got better I was still sick. I have had a sinus infection before and am pretty sure that's what I have. Today is the beginning of week 3 of being sick and after taking every OTC for sinuses known to man (ok not EVERY but that's what it feels like) I started desperately searching the internet. I was skeptical about the Tomato Tea remedy but figured it couldn't be any worse than green-death-flavor NyQuil. I am so glad to say that I CAN BREATHE and I might actually get some sleep tonight. Thank you so much. I put this in my recipe box for next time!"

[YEA] 03/24/2006: Kim from Milwaukee writes: "Hi, I have suffered for years with chronic Sinus disorder. For a long time I've been using Goldenseal root, which works great if you use it at the first sign of a sinus attack/flare up. I wasn't able to catch this last one in time, and I'm very near to having an infection. The last time I had an infection I tried the apple vinegar in water, which didn't help for more then a few minutes This time I tried the Tomato tea. I didn't have any juice at 1:00 AM so I tried tomato soup. Added the garlic in powder form. Within a half hour my nose stopped running (the bad kind of running, when you lean over and it pours all over the floor), my throat stopped being scratchy, my face stopped being itchy and the post nasal drip down my throat stopped. I was able to sleep. The symptoms didn't come back for about four or five hours! When the symptoms came back they came back 100%. This time I bought some of the tomato juice and tobacco sauce. Something about the tobacco sauce made the tea work faster, within minutes my symptoms were gone! I'll swear by this remedy."

[YEA] 02/18/2006: Margarate from Mary Esther, Florida writes: "Yesterday I had been suffering from an acute sinus infection for at least two weeks. I finally decided to go online to see if there was such a thing as a "natural" cure. I found this site after I did a search and was interested in what I read about a simple but skeptical sounding "cure" for it called Tomato Tea. Normally I can not stand anything remotely similar to the taste of tomato soup, but after suffering for what seemed like forever, I was willing to try anything! So I copied down the ingredients, went to the store to get the exact ingredients, and went home to make it. I used a garlic press to crush the garlic, I found that it took about two to three cloves to equal a teaspoon. And I used a whole teaspoon of hot sauce, I used Texas Pete. And heated it up after adding the other ingredients. I was amazed at how tasty it actually was. (I guess the fresh garlic made a difference in the taste.) After about an hour after consuming the "Tea", I noticed that FINALLY my sinus were draining, and I was able to clear out the infected mucus. Today, I made another glass and am happy to say that after a long time of suffering, I am on the quick road to recovery. Thanks to the wonderful person who suggested this cure! Sincerely, Margaret."

[YEA] 02/06/2006: Nick from Valparaiso, Florida writes: "I've tried it four different times; it really works. I hate tomatoes, but this taste pretty good, like spicy soup. I've spent a small fortune on over the counter medications that usually didn't work as advertised. Try it, if it doesn't work, well you drank something that is healthy for you."

[YEA] 01/25/2006: Jenny from Maple Grove, MN writes: "In my opinion, there is no magic in using the tomato juice--it is the raw garlic that has the antibiotic properties. Press several cloves of garlic through a garlic press into a strainer or tea ball, pour boiling water over and steep for several minutes. Remove strainer, add honey and lemon to taste. Or, if you prefer, omit the honey and go with the hot sauce."

Coke, Sprite, almost any product that carries the same brand as of these products."

[YEA] 01/12/2006: Dee from Phila., PA writes: "It did clear up my sinus somewhat. I used tomato puree, didn't have the juice and I use minced garlic. I made mine like a soup. It did start to clear up the sinus a little after a number of spoonfuls. I started at 12:38pm and now it is 1:02 pm. Still feel stuffy but not as bad before using the remedy. I think will be good to use with my Flonase. Thanks!!!"

[YEA] 01/11/2006: Slavo from Germany writes: "It worked although it cleaned my nose sinuses (after 1st dose of tea) and not my frontal sinuses yet. I think probably the most active ingredient is Hot pepper, since there is new natural cure discovered last year "sinus buster" which is based on hot pepper substance from 2 kinds of peppers."

[YEA] 12/31/2005: Mary from Grand Rapids writes: "I have had a persistent sinus infection for over two weeks. My doctor put me on Amoxicillin. I took that and many over the counter remedies including a cough syrup and nasal spray the Doctor recommended and still I felt no relief. I looked on the web and came across this tomato tea remedy along with others. This one seemed to be the least likely to do my body any more harm if it was a hoax which it was not. I was afraid it would give me heart burn. which I can say it did not. I used a 1/2 a can of tomato soup and garlic salt instead of crushed garlic. I left out the lemon juice as I had none. Later I found I had a lemon drink powder and added a bit of that to the second drink I had to make. With the first sip I felt my sinuses open up and I found the drink tolerable. The lemon flavor gave it more bite and the concoction seemed to do a better job then without the lemon flavor. This is Amazing that it works so well so fast. I could feel my sinus's opening up more and more. Many Thanks to who ever came up with this remedy."
