A Bakers Dozen Thumbs Up

I work at a grain elevator so you could imagine that sinus infections are nothing new for me. Well I didn't have time to make it to the doctor and was hoping my body could kick its butt on its own. Well, it didn't. I've had the sinus infection for a little over two weeks now. It was so bad to the point where when I first started the treatment I could barely even snort the cayenne pepper dust through a straw but after I gave my nose a few good hard blows to momentarily clear a passage I got the job done. I let it drain and then repeated the steps 2 or 3 more times. It burned like H-E-double hockey sticks but I just woke up from a two hour nap where all my sinuses drained down the back of my throat and for the first time in what feels like years I can finally breathe again. I will definitely be using this home remedy again in the future. #DontBeAWuss

I wanted to add some tips on relief during the burning:

1) in-breaths through the nose actually provide immediate temporary relief!

2) after 15 minutes I did a neti-pot (regular with salt, not with cayenne) and this finished off the pain. I recommend this if the pain feels like it's been too long (10-15 minutes)

I swabbed some cayenne directly from the top of the jar (no water) and did the insert Q-tip and breathe method.

I have used cayenne pepper to clear the sinuses for several years, yes it will sting, maybe make you cough, but the results are great. Please don't use too much... I first just snorted it, then I have started to make a liquid and used the Q-tip method...it is the results that work....one must get the pepper into the sinus cavity...so don't be hesitant when you inhale, plug the other nostril and inhale deep. I will always used it...I grow my own peppers...

For many years I have used this remedy . Equal parts Golden Seal and Bayberry Bark Powder, and as much Cayenne Powder as you take, over time you will get braver and add more Cayenne. Do salt solution first than take as much powder as you can handle.

My teeth were throbbing because of a Sinus Infection. I have at least one root right up there, but half the teeth in my mouth were throbbing. I thought I was going to go out of my mind. Sniffed the cayenne and the throbbing of the teeth quit.

Not sure what caused my sinus infection this time, I ate a slush-ee and washed my hair and accidentally fell asleep with my ceiling fan on. Woke up a few hours later to a sore throat and sinus pain.

Cayenne pepper was my first thought. I dabbed a q-tip in the pepper and put it up my nose and snorted. It burned, I cried and sneezed for about 4 times back to back. After blowing my nose after a few minutes, my pain was lessened by about 50%. I had to do it a few more times throughout the day.

I also put cayenne pepper in orange juice and gargled a few times throughout the day and it helped some. Whenever I get sick, which is rare, its usually with a sinus infection, but it seemed like the cayenne pepper didn't work as well as it did in the past.

This has been a miracle for me!!! I've been in so much pain I couldn't even sit down without getting severe sinus pressure. I was a little chicken of more pain lol, so I dumped some cayenne pepper on my phone screen, and took a Q-tip and barely touched the pepper. Then I put it far up into my nostril also...That was about two hours ago, and I've been too busy doing things from having almost NO PAIN to post my results until now!!! : ) I'm free, I can sit, I can walk lol it may sound silly but that's how bad the pressure and pain WAS..That was just a few spreckles of cayenne pepper on the end of a Q-tip, one for each nostril. That small of an amount and it worked and it barely burned...no worse than adding too much salt to a Neti Pot (oppsies! : ) )...thank you guys, my sanity and happiness is back!!!! : ) ( :

Breathing at last, breathing at last, thank God Almighty I can breathe at last! I applied cayenne pepper on the tip of a q-tip and inserted the q-tip as far into my nostril as I could and then snorted. Yes it burned like I don't know what for a good 3 to 4 minutes. But I can breathe now!!!

I have suffered for years from sinus issues related to allergies. This last week I got a cold and things went from bad to worse, waking up 4-6 times a night because I couldn't breathe.

A friend recommended making a Cayenne pepper/lemon tea. I took half a teaspoon of the powdered pepper, a squeeze of lemon, and boiling water. Drank it down and in five minutes I was breathing as clear as I ever have. My only hope is that it lasts at least through the night.

Try this tea instead of snorting...no pain, and same immediate effect.
