The Significance of Vibration in Therapy
Guinea Pig Rob here...
Low vibration around the ears and over the sinus-plexes may help people who suffer from tinnitus, sinus congestion and other ear and sinus issues. I theorize the reason why it works is, the vibration loosen's-up any blockage that maybe in all the plumbing inside the ears and sinus (eustachian tube, ear canal, semi-circular canals vestibule, sinus membranes, etc…).
I took my GF personal vibrator (it has various speed setting) cleaned it (for obvious reasons lol) and applied it over the sinus-plexes, cheek bones, eye browes, around the ear's. I did this for 20 minutes. After I completed the treatment, my sinuses started to run and flow. I felt a little dizzy but better.
There is a vibration device sold on Amazon called “Eardoc Ear Massager for Natural Relief of Clogged Ears” but THEY WANT $60! My GF personal re-chargable battery operated masager cost $5 (google search: Small Personal Massager for Women).
I'm not saying this technique will cure your sinus congestion but it will get things flowing again for sure...
Tea Tree Oil
★★★★★
Materials needed:
– Nasal Saline Spray 1.5 oz. (found at any Dollarstore)
– Tea Tree Oil
– Needle nose pliers
– Paper towel
Directions:
– Remove cap from nasal spray.
– Wrap paper towel around nasal tip. Use pliers to carefully wiggle tip off of bottle. The paper towel protects the soft plastic tip from damage by using the pliers.
– Once removed, add two drops tea tree oil to the 1.5 oz. saline solution in bottle.
– Re-install tip on bottle. Re-cap bottle. It is now ready to use.
How to use: Shake bottle before each use so the oil mixes with the saline solution. Mist/Spray each nostril with solution several times daily. Do this til symptoms improve.
Why it works:
Saline nasal spray clears out mucus and crusts in your nasal passages that are causing you to feel stuffed up. Using saline nasal spray or irrigation also helps cleanse your nasal passages, washing away pollen and other things that cause allergy symptoms. Saline sprays can reduce thick mucus secretions in the sinuses and nose.
Tea tree oil can help relieve sinus congestion by reducing inflammation. Tea tree oil is known for its antiviral and antimicrobial properties. Its expectorant properties can loosen mucus.

Here is a trick you can do at home to un-clog your sinuses. This remedy must be done just before bedtime because the menthol and bioactive chemicals from the peppermint will make your eye water and tear. If your eyes are closed, there is no problem.
Peppermint oil is highly effective at relaxing muscles in your nasal passages and helping to clear out the muck and pollen from your respiratory tract during allergy season. It's considered one of the best essential oils for allergies because of its expectorant, anti-inflammatory and invigorating properties.
A lab study published in the European Journal of Medical Research found that menthol displayed potential therapeutic efficacy for the treatment of chronic inflammatory disorders such as allergic rhinitis, colitis and bronchial asthma.
Take 20 drops MCT Coconut oil or regular coconut oil (since it's a light oil and penetrates easy into the skin). And add 20 drops Peppermint oil (I like Now Brand) ratio 1:1. Mix together in a small bowl with your finger til uniformed.
Apply this mixture over your sinus plexus, all over your forehead, temples, jaw, cheek, as close to the eye orbit as you can get (but not in your eyes!), nose bridge, in front and back of ears and back of neck. Immediately go to bed.
Have tissue handy for what will come next. Your sinuses passages will dilate and open up. Next, the flood gates of thick snot will start coming out. Depending on how bad you were congested will determine how long this will last. For chronic sinus issue's, you may need to repeat for a few days to completely clear the sinuses of infection.
If you have hyperactive skin, dial down the ratio to 5:1.

Pumpkin oil is working great for my sinuses, which have been clogged for years now - it is actually finally clearing up! I can't believe it & am so glad after all this time to find relief! Pumpkin oil is an antifungal, so it makes sense it would clear sinus issues.
Smelling Black Pepper

Black pepper contains quite a bit of sulfur. As do potatoes - or, rather, they should but the soil is so depleted in the states that you have to amend the soil of your potato patch - if you grow your own.

I had come to have a chronic sinusitis which was triggered often and predictably.
The ACV steaming not only has an immediate relieving effect but I believe it has rid me of the root chronic condition, removing old infected mucus. I am soo grateful to finding this method on EC and I tell everyone about it.
The other method I use is to put 3-5 drops of either ACV (any more will burn), 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide, or Lugol's 2% Iodine into my neti pot or a refillable nasal mist sprayer combined with the warm saline solution. I'll rotate all of these methods during seasonal changes when my sinuses are more sensitive. Just fantastic!
Eucalyptus Oil
★★★★★
Twist a piece of tissue paper or kitchen roll into a wick shape and dip into olive oil and let it soak for a second. Add a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil then use as you would a Vick's nasal stick. It soothes your nose and unblocks it really fast and is all natural ingredients.
I been using Bronner eucalyptus oil for years for winter germs.

It's nearly 12 midnight and I can't sleep due to sinusitis and the dreaded headache that accompanies it. So, I went to this site and read through.
I decided, steam inhalation is the best coz it can go to places no one has ever gone before! Hihihi
1/4cup ACV ( braggs wd the mother.)
1cup water
Heated it up in the microwave two min.
Tilted my head over the bowl wd the mixture, got a clean dishtowel n covered my head including the bowl, so the steam will just concentrate on the area I want and not scatter all over the place.( I hope you get the picture) tried my best to breathe through my clogged nose. After a while it slowly cleared. Made sure to breathe deep and while doing that I did those facial sinus massages they do on You Tube.
I did spit a lot of clogged stuff while my sinuses were draining. After about 10 minutes of that, I'd gargle ACV wd warm water n a pinch of cayenne. That got all the mucous in my throat out. What a relief!
Walked a bit to allow gravity to drain away more clogging. I felt my headache just saying goodbye not wanting to come back to me. Good riddance!
I did the whole cycle two times.and after about
30 minutes, my sinuses were drained no headache, happy me!
I can't thank you enough for sharing this!
Elderflower Juice
★★★★★
Posted by Christine (Virginia Beach, Virgnia) on 02/01/2009: "Modern day Chinese people have overcome myopia through the usage of acupressure massage techniques. Some of them are listed in the eBook you have mentioned. Today I started doing them. While it is too early to tell whether they will overcome myopia or not, I can tell you that my eyes already feel more relaxed, and my sinuses are draining better. Perhaps these exercises will help sinus trouble in addition to the myopia that plagues our nation."
For cure of sinuses the best cure is elderflower juice.
How to make:
- Take one lemon and put into a pint of boiling water and let it get soft. Then put in about forty heads of elder flower and let it simmer for about twenty minutes.
- Then let it cool or strain anď squeeze all juice out.
- Put back into saucepan and heat up with half a bag of sugar and leave it heating until it melts the sugar.
- Let it cool and bottle it.
- Take about two teaspoons of juice every day.
You should be fine for winter plus summer, but it must be taken every day.
Enjoy yourself. May God bless.

***Important to note though: make sure you're downing tons of water and liquids in addition to this ACV tea. Also, be sure that the ACV is shaken up and has brown sediment floating in it, aka the "mother"; you don't want the clear, clean stuff.
