A new trend on social media is to stick a clove of garlic halfway up each nostril for “sinus issue’s”. Big Pharma controlled websites (you know who they are… first ones that pop up on a word search and the ones that told you that ivermectin horse paste was dangerous and shouldn’t be used for COVID-19) will state “this is dangerous and should not be attempted…?”
I wanted to put my 2cents worth in on this subject.
I have Latin friends who put a clove of garlic in their ear for an earache. I use garlic infused oil as ear drops in my ear canal. Garlic is a strong anti-microbial. They call it Russian Penicillin for a reason.
In order for this remedy to work better, first wash the clove with water. Using a sharp knife, cut the tip off the clove to expose the inside of the clove. This helps to release the juice inside where the allicin is concentrated. Also, cut slits down the clove to aid in the release of the allicin.
Insert clove halfway into the nostril and leave to there for about 20-30 minutes. Then switch the clove to the other nostril and repeat. The reason for this is as you are breathing thru your other nostril, you will feel the strong garlic odor going up into your eustachian tubes and back of the sinus-larnex area. This is part of principle of aromatherapy. Repeat several times til issue is resolved.
Warning: Use caution with small children with objects in their nose. Garlic infused oil may be a better option with small children.
Another method is garlic tea used in your neti-pot. It’s simple to make. Crush one or two large clove of garlic and put in into a glass of distilled water. Allow it to steep for 20 minutes. Filter the water and load into your neti-pot and use as normal. You can curse me later...lol

I did 1/8 tsp 3% food grade H2O2 in my neti pot with 4 ozs warmed distilled water and a Neils Med saline/bicarbonate packet 3x's a day. This was completely better in 2 days but I continued for 3.

A few days ago my GF son (21 years old) told us he was going to make an appointment with the Dr. due to lumps at the base of his skull and side of neck. I told my GF to have him come by tonite before he spends $600 with those Dumba$$’s.
Medical care is so bad here they will try and diagnose him with “non-Hodgkins lymphoma” or something stupid like that, he is “un-vaxxed” so that drops his chances for cancer way down for his age group, they’ll preform a bunch of expensive test on him, and then say the test are inconclusive but you owe them $40.k for the test. So I told my GF I’ll take a look at it (I have 25 years experience being a naturopath).
After examining him and the lumps I determined his lymph nodes around his neck were swollen due to a viral infection. I asked if he had been sick (Head Cold) recently and he said YES.
My GF thinks she knows all my medical trick… lol NOT! I got a small bottle of Tincture of Iodine 2% (alcohol based) from my stocks, dipped a Q-tip in it and started painting the skin over the swollen nodes. I gave him the bottle and told him to repeat painting them every 2-3 hours and call his mom in the morning and tell us if he see’s any difference.
The next morning he called to tell us that after only 3 painting, the nodes have shrunk by 50%!
Now, I’ve studied how the Russians have used Iodine Grid Painting. Iodine penetrating through the skin into muscle tissue and blood vessels, iodine has a detrimental effect on pathogens.
The Russians state: In case of runny nose, it is applied in very thin and neat lines to the bridge of the nose and the wings of the nose. If you have a cold, it makes sense to place the net on the feet and in the area of the calf muscles.
Sum of what the author is saying I believe and some I think is Hype…
So, I’m thinking to myself, if painting the lymph-node for an infection works so well... why not paint iodine (2% tincture or white iodine if you are worried about staining) over the forehead (frontal sinus pockets), under the eyebrows and across the nasal bone (ethmoid sinus), cheeks under eye (maxillary sinus). I also painted behind my ears and back of neck.
Edgar Cayce (1900 A.D.) advocated painting the sinus plexus daily for 2 weeks with castor oil, so this is not a new thing.
Do this at nite before bed so your eyes are closed.
In my area, the farmers are harvesting soybean and the chaf is all in the air causing everyone sinus issues including me. Using myself as a test subject I painted up my face with iodine before bed.
When I woke-up, I had a large glob of snoot in the sinus-larynex area. It was some much it was gagging me. Went out on the back patio to drink my coffee and had to blow my nose and the flood gate of hell come out. I felt so much better. My head was clear. Less congested. I’ll do another iodine painting tonite. This works

He said, they use this method to clear Sinus Pain and Headaches from the head. It is also good for Asthma, Bronchitis, Colds, Cough, Breathing problems, Lung Congestion, Congestion of the Nasal tract.
Buy some camphor. It comes in small tiny blocks and can be purchased from drug stores, online or at an Asian grocery store.
Anchor Jai Santoshi Maa Camphor Tablets 100 Small Tablets is the brand I am using.
Source image: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Jai-Santoshi-Maa-camphor-Tablets-100-Small-Tablets-1-1oz/245121055
Take one paper wrapped cube (about 5 tiny blocks about 1.5 grams) crush them and put into a pot/basin of boiling water, put a towel over your head, and inhale the steam or which ever method you use. Inhale deeply.
Note: I was not prepared for how STRONG the camphor steam was. I was hacking the whole 10 minute session and about another 15 minutes afterwards. But after about an hour I noticed I was breathing much better, less phelgmy and all around felt better… HUM….?
Caution: Camphor water is very hot and strong, so make sure your first few breaths are shallow and not too close to the steam you burn yourself.
Why it works?
Steaming camphor is not a new idea. I’m assuming this therapy came to American with the Chinese in the early 1800’s when they came here to work on the railroads if not earlier.
Back in the 1960’s and 70’s (I’m not that old), Mom would use a “Devilbiss Hot Steam Vaporizer-Humidifier” for those of you that can remember those (wish they were still made today, cuz THEY WORKED). They were a big glass jar basin with lite-blue lettering and a heating device that sat on top and sprayed hot steam into a room. Mom would put Vicks Vapo Steam Liquid Medication into the Hot Steam Vaporizers and it would help you breathe better.
Guess what “Vicks Vapo Steam Liquid Medication” ingredients are? Camphor (Synthetic) 6.2% w-v per 200ml, Alcohol 78%; Cedarleaf Oil; Eucalyptus Oil; Laureth-7; Menthol; Nutmeg Oil; Poloxamer 124; Silicone.
Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora) is widely used in all the ceremonies and rituals of Hindus. Apart from its prominent role in religious aspects, it is considered with high regards for its natural therapeutic properties for thousands of years. Camphor plays a vital role in every Indian household, as it is an excellent home remedy for several ailments right from cough, insect bites to cardiac issues. This white cubed wonder never fails you when you need a magic healer to get better relief from several issues.
Camphor is known to strengthen the immune system and to protect the body against bacteria, even that which is airborne. Camphor has the ability to eliminate the congestion in the lungs, bronchial tracts and nasal region to promote normal breathing. The reason that camphor essential oil and gum is included as an ingredient in so many commercial decongestant remedies is that it can help provide immediate respiratory relief. It helps to relieve any blockages in the respiratory system including the nasal tracts, lungs, pharynx, larynx and bronchial tubes. Camphor oil, or some other products that contain it, can be applied externally on the neck and chest as a remedy for acute or chronic pneumonia and bronchitis.
Camphora officinarum.
From the Book: The Inhalation Treatment of Diseases of the Organs of Respiration Including Consumption page 194-195 by Arthur Hill Hassall · 1885
Administration. – In powder, in vapour, or as an atomized spray.
For the inhalation of the vapour of camphor, an oro-nasal inhaler may be employed charged with the spirit, or the camphor may be inhaled in the vapour of hot water. For vapour inhalation the compound tincture should not be used, as the opium in this is non-volatile, and it is best suited for use as a spray. the powder of camphor, 1 to 4 grains insufflated.
Indications. - The inhalation by the nostrils of the powder of camphor, or of a strong camphorated spray, will sometimes stop colds in the head, if employed at the outset; or if it does not arrest them, it will frequently give much relief. In aphonia, in hoarseness, in spasmodic affections of the organs of respiration, in whooping- cough, and in the coughs of bronchitis and phthisis. Camphor inhalations are sometimes useful in that trouble-some chronic complaint characterized by seizures of incessant sneezing and profuse watery running at the eyes and nose, the patient remaining well in the intervals. The attacks may occur daily, beginning early in the morning, and may last for a few minutes only or may persist for several hours ; and they may occur at any hour of the day, recurring several times daily. Sometimes several days intervene between the attacks, which may last 24 hours or even longer. They are generally accompanied by severe frontal headache, and in some instances an itching of a point inside the nose, denotes the imminence of the attack. This affection lasts for years (Ringer). It evidently closely resembles hay fever.
The powder of camphor is sometimes inhaled as a snuff, mixed with tannin, in nasal catarrh or coryza. Monobromate of camphor has been found useful as an antispasmodic in whooping-cough and in asthma, in doses of 3 to 6 grains. If employed as a spray, it may be dissolved in a little spirit made up with water to ½ or 1 ounce

I tried this but it burns a lot, I feel like I am choking.
Is there a better remedy, that does the job but doesn't burn like this?
Cindy (Illinois, USA) on 03/13/2024
I've had 3 sinus "things" since I had "the" bug three years ago and this time, it rapidly began migrating to my lungs but this stopped it. I only did it one time, before bed, and bronchial tubes and lungs were both clear by morning. Sinuses still a bit stuffy but I used just a very tiny pinch of probiotics from a capsule. I'm going to try some cultivated microbes I'm currently preparing as I suspect this infection is rebooting.
Can't be sure, but I know that microbial drain cleaners (probiotics) travel through the pipes - even CLIMBING if there's gunk to eat which is why you also want to use the drain cleaners before bed so that nobody is running water through the drains, rinsing them away.
Not sure if that's what happens with the nasal rinse but it would make sense as even that tiny amount cleared all of the upper respiratory areas - save a single small area that I can feel in my sinuses - but it cleared my broncial tubes and lungs which were NOT rinsed, so...
We naturally breathe microbes - including the probiotics that usually keep us safe - all the time from the air, but when one is indoors all day, with unfriendly microbes floating around and procreating and one is constantly blowing one's nose, one is also constantly expelling the probiotics that get shut into the house or office with us. Or, at least, that is my suspicion.
ANYway - VERY exciting! I would say that if you use microbes you cultivate, yourself, for instance, if you make LABS - I would guess that it wouldn't take much. For soil, it's used in a 1/1000 ratio - or even MORE diluted so, just be aware. I've purposely not done it again as I expect there are CONbiotics in the house and hope it will come back, at which point I will try LABS, starting with a very diluted mixture and see what happens.
What I used this time was just a tiny bit from a PB8 probiotic capsule in about a half cup of warm water with a pinch of salt and a pinch or two of sugar, to wake them up, as I don't keep milk on hand because I don't use it for anything but LABS, so I was out of LABS, but I got a little bottle of milk and I'm cultivating some microbes as I write this so I'll have some LABS in couple of days.

From the book - The Therapeutical Applications of Peroxide of Hydrogen, Hydrozone and Glycozone, by Charles Marchand 9th Ed 1895
GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR APPLYING
PEROXIDE OF HYDROGEN (MEDICINAL), H2O2, IN THE TREATMENT OF DISEASES CAUSED BY GERMS.
NOSE. —THROAT AND CHEST DISEASES. -TREATMENT.
CATARRH OF THE NOSE AND CATARRH OF THE THROAT.
Causes: Micro- organisms, principally of the micrococcus species have been detected by microscopical examinations, by scientific men and by myself, in the mucous discharges from the nostrils of persons afflicted with this disease. Those germs which are the cause of the infection are readily destroyed by Peroxide of Hydrogen (medicinal), and there is no danger for the patient to use these remedies in any quantity, as both are positively harmless.
Treatment: By means of an atomizer, made of glass and hard rubber, spray the nose and the throat copiously and repeatedly twice or three times every day with a mixture of:
1 tablespoonful Peroxide of Hydrogen, (medicinal), with 4 to 10 tablespoonfuls of distilled water (cold or lukewarm).
According to the degree of inflammation in the mucous membranes of the nasal cavities ; and, in case of extreme sensitiveness, use even still a larger proportion of water.
NOTE—In the absence of an atomizer, apply the remedy to the nose by sniffing the liquid from the hand through the nostrils repeatedly, and gargle the throat. It is always beneficial to swallow the remedy. Do not blow the nose too hard, as it might cause a temporary bleeding. In chronic cases of long standing, especially at the beginning of the treatment, when the tenderness of the mucous membrane is excessive, it often happens that the patient will feel, during one hour or so after each application of the remedy, a partial obstruction of either one or the other of the nostrils.
This very unpleasant feeling is often accompanied by frequent sneezing, which is due to the tickling sensation produced in the nasal cavities by the presence of a great quantity of minute bubbles of "O2, " being set free from the decomposition of Peroxide of Hydrogen coming in contact with the infected surface. The unhealthy secretions are destroyed by "O2" and the cleansing of the nostrils is made perfect.
In chronic cases, when the middle ear is affected, deafness is often the consequence of this disease. Then ozonized vapor inhalations should follow immediately the spraying of the nose and the throat, and should be administered by means of Hand Atomizer and Ozonizer, with a mixture thoroughly made of:
half Peroxide of Hydrogen (medicinal) and half chemically pure glycerine.
Renew the mixture every three days. It is important that the above mixtures should be made perfect by shaking the bottle well, otherwise the spray-tube of the apparatus might be clogged on account of the syrupy nature of the glycerine
A permanent cure may be effected in a very short time.
When chronic Catarrh of the Nose is very tenacious and painful, it is necessary at night, before retiring, to apply a few drops to the nostrils. Sniff it hard, as it will accelerate the cure.
In many cases the incurability of Chronic Catarrh of the Nose is due to partial or complete obstruction of the nasal cavities, caused by some abnormal conditions of growth, differing in their nature.
When such is the case, apply Peroxide of Hydrogen, as heretofore explained, morning and evening. After ten or fifteen days, if the excrescence does not disappear, it will be necessary to have a surgical operation performed for its removal.
After the excrescence has been removed or destroyed by means of the thermo-cautery, or any other operation (no caustic should be used, as it will most likely destroy both taste and smell), an absolute cure is certain if the above treatment is earnestly followed.
The profession well know that the therapeutical agents used for the treatment of this disease have been as follows: Bichloride of Mercury. -Calomel. —Sulphate of Zinc. -Sulphate of Copper.-Alum. -Nitrate of Silver. -Carbolic Acid. -Salicylic Acid. -Permanganate of Potash . -Borax. -Boracic Acid. —Subnitrate of Bismuth. -Common Salt. Muriate of Ammonia. -Extract of Eucalyptus. -Thymol. -Cocaine. -Camphor, etc.
It is easy to understand why Peroxide of Hydrogen (medicinal), will surely accomplish a permanent cure.

I had a client come to me with chronic sinusitis. She has been to the doctors many times over the past 6 months and has been prescribed different antibiotics and nasal sprays (Fluticasone) with no relief.
Since she was not responding to any anti-biotic treatment made me suspect she had a fungal infection and these lame doctors are not treating the underlying problem. Plus, researchers at Mayo Clinic discovered that sinusitis, an inflammatory disease, is caused by yeast 96% of the time and cured by anti-fungals. Fungi are the major cause of a chronic sinus infection. Individuals with weak immunity are more susceptible to such infections.
According to research, chronic sinusitis (there is also acute sinusitis) is a consequence of an immune disorder triggered by fungus. Back in 1999, a research team discovered that there were fungal organisms present in the mucus of 96 percent of patients who underwent chronic sinusitis surgery. Namely, fungus and mold spores are in the air all the time and therefore, we inhale them and they stay in the sinuses’ mucus lining. Since yeast are opportunistic organisms that flourish as immune function declines, it becomes obvious why these diseases are seen more. People who are more prone to chronic sinusitis will experience an immune response to the fungi, which will further cause sinusitis signs. This is why antifungals will be much more effective than antibiotics in treating the problem. Antibiotics do nothing to kill fungal infections and I believe they make things worse.
Results
She said she could see results after the 3rd spray. In less than one week, she is 90% better.
About Goldenseal Root
Goldenseal Root (Parts Used: primarily the root, to a lesser extent leaves) is widely used in many herbal salves and ointments as a disinfectant. Goldenseal root contains berberine and hydrastine which have a broad-spectrum antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral action. Goldenseal root was used by Native American tribes, including the Cherokee and Iroquois, as a yellow dye and for health conditions.
The herb's primary value is as an infection fighter for upper respiratory congestion and sinus infections as well as a topical antibiotic in skin infections, staph infections of the skin, cuts, wounds, sore throats, mouth ulcers, athlete's foot, ringworm, bronchitis, colds, whooping cough, pneumonia, gastritis ulcers, eczema, psoriasis, constipation, acne, thrush, recurrent ear infections, vaginitis, urinary tract infections, and eye infections (such as conjunctivitis and blepharitis).
How to make a Goldenseal Root Tincture Sinus Spray for Chronic Fungal Sinusitis
Material needed:
* 30ml empty clean nasal spray bottle
* Distilled water
* Goldenseal Root Tincture 1oz (must be alcohol-based ~ Not Glycerin based)
Recipe:
1. Add 15ml Goldenseal tincture to an empty nasal spray bottle. (1:1 ~ v tincture to water)
2. Top off bottle with distilled water.
How to use:
1. Use this spray twice in each nostril 2-5 times daily for a few weeks to resolve sinus infection.
Note: It stings a little for about 15 seconds but after that you're good to go.

Goldenseal tincture, I have from Earthpharm.
Use 1/2 dropper in 1/2 teaspoon salt solution. I used a dropper with my head tilted to ceiling, one dropper of the mix into each nostril. It didn't burn at all. It helped more than anything so far. Also drank a cup of water with a 1/2 dropper of goldenseal tincture. As GS also has berberine it passes through the blood-brain barrier, it's powerful, and helping as mentioned -more than any other remedy.

Oh my gosh it was finally moving. And my head no longer felt like it was ready to explode. So after that every few hours, I wrapped the bristles in a cloth so as not to scratch, and after heating my face with a warm rice pack, I would vibrate my sinus cavities. Every time I was able to blow out infection.
Now, I am still using the neti pot also with povidone iodine, Grapefruit seed extract and xylitol and now that is helping to rinse out mucous (hadn’t touched it before). Still draining a few days later, but I am not coughing after sleeping where the drainage settles in my airway, and am feeling almost human again. Will be ordering a silicone face cleaner/massager that vibrates so the bristles wont be an issue.
I have tried almost everything, including pressure points and massage, cayenne pepper drinks, honey, cider vinegar, sage tea, peroxide, povidone iodine, GSE, xylitol in the neti pot, etc. with no success. I used to be able to forestall an infection if I used the neti pot as soon as I could feel one coming on, but that no longer stops an infection for me. I don’t see a lot of research out there….wondering if I do this on a regular basis will it keep sinuses open?
I hope this helps someone out there..

My nose feels better, but im still a bit stuffy, especially at night with a white cloudy frothy mucus with the odd (5) small red spots of blood. Not sure if this is the virus that has been sticking around or is it from the peroxide?? I'm also wondering what adjustments I need to make to get rid of it
