I am now 75 and it happened 5 years ago. I had a very bad UTI and nothing fixed it until I read to take Bicarbonate of Soda. I took 1/2 teaspoon 3 times a day for 2 days and that fixed the UTI but 2 weeks later I felt the mucus moving from the back of my throat. Since then I have had no more problems but I think the Bicarbonate of Soda fixed the PH of the body and this is why it has gone the body fixed itself as the PH of my body is not sitting on 7. I don’t recommend taking that much Bi Carb at once, but if you can get your pH to 7 the body should fix itself.

Molasses and gin for excessive mucous

I came across a reference to these two ingredients as a cure for catarrh. (from the late 1800's). Ever heard of this?

Apple Cider Vinegar, Turmeric, Vitamin C for Catarrh

Brian (Vancouver) on 09/22/2016

For catarrh, I take 2 tablespoons of organic Apple Cider vinegar, get the unfiltered vinegar, the Mother as they call it, add 1 tsp of tumeric powder and 6-8 ounces of water and drink it fast with a 500mg vitamin C tablet and you are good to go, it tastes not bad and is easy to drink first thing in the morning

Apple Cider Vinegar for Catarrh

Apple Cider Vinegar in water works a treat! I was feeling so yuck for about 6-7 months with no relief and only given chemical nasal sprays by my GP, I saw this advice and took it, coupled with a sea water nasal spray. This remedy is great. I am still a bit icky at times so am going to try the Turmeric.

Hi Ted,

Do you have an updated treatment for Chronic Runny Nose/ Catarhh. I suffer from a runny nose all year round and its worse in the winter when its very cold.

Hi Ted. I have been given this very useful website address and have found it most informative. I do need a little more help though as I am unable to find what I am looking for. I appear to have a problem with catarrh. This is not a cold as such but is basically a very persistent intermittent runny nose. I have to blow or wipe my nose several times a day, especially when eating or sometimes nervous. I very rarely get colds or flu so I am not sure how to treat this. It is very annoying and I would love to fine the right treatment to put an end to this for ever. I look forward to receiving some very useful advise on remedies.
