Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This remedy is AMAZING! I have suffered from chronic sinus infections for the past 12 years. I was in so much pain from it I searched the web for a temporary remedy till I could get to the Dr. s. I found the Tomato Tea and was willing to try it after I had read all the successes. It worked! I had the 1st cup at 7pm and had only some draining. I had the 2nd cup at 9pm, and the effects were fast, one side cleared up immediately, I slept great that night, the next morning I had the 3rd cup (I put in a little extra garlic) and my sinus infection was GONE! I couldn't believe it, no medications! All was left was post nasal drip/cough, to cure that, I took 1 tbsp of vinegar, it's gone too!! AHH-MAZING!

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.

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 have been suffering from a sinus infection for the last 4 days... 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!

Wow thank you for this tea! I am pregnant and trying to stay away from medicine. 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.

I used Rosella Tomato sauce Approx 3 table spoons. 1 table spoon sweet chili sauce, 1 teaspoon of crushed garlic a squeeze of lemon juice , small pinch of salt all in a coffee mug of hot water and a little cold water. This remedy is great.

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!!!

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.

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!

This tasted fantastic. 20 minutes after drinking my sinus really feels like it's starting to drain. I suggest drinking it with as much hot sauce as you can handle.

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.

Worked better than any of the OTC drugs I have taken. I have had this congestion for two weeks. I just made my first tomato tea and drank it. This is the most relief I've had since I became sick. Pretty amazing.
