5 out of 5 stars

I was reading about home remedies for a nasty sinus infection from CPAP machine I use for my sleep apnea. I read about the Apple Cider Vinegar and then about oil pulling. I just finished going to the store and getting both. I did the sesame oil and my non-stop nasel dripping ceased before my 15 minutes were up. Coincidence? I'm pretty excited. Also, I couldn't even breath through my nose because it was too painful, and that dissappeared at all. So cool. Thanks! (I have some ACV with tea coming up next. :)

Sinus Infection Remedies: Please...will someone tell me what oil pulling is!!! The vinegar and water is clearing my head, but I would like to understand how to do this other remedy, which no one seems to be explaining, except to say how well it works. How do you pull oil? Thankyou, diann.

What kind of oil did you use? I want the best results and would like to know which one you prefer.

The most suggested is unrefined, organic sesame oil. I used this one, as long as it isn't the roasted kind, it tastes o.k.

I used Pomace/virgin olive oil, cottonseed oil, and now sesame oil, all to no effect. (Though the sesame had a pleasant taste) I am exactly the way I was when I started. I tried distilled ACV (it's all I had), nothing. Trying the unrefined one from B---- now. We'll see how it goes.

I use unrefined coconut oil. Place it in your mouth and simply swish it around like you would with any dental mouth rinse. Do this for about ten minutes and build it up til about 20 minutes per day!
