Hydrogen Peroxide for Sinus Infections: I looked at this web page out of curiosity as I have my 1st sinus infection in 12 years. Curious because when I was a teen I had them all the time. I one day got so tired of living that way against my better judgement and the warning label not to take up the nose, I did anyways desperate to kill it. I took the cap off the bottle, poured what seemed like 3-5 drops in the cap, slowly added water in the cap, and snorted up my nose, then did the same the other side. Also dipped a qtip in the peroxide and went deep in both ears. I was cured instantly after the burning sensation and drainage cleared the burning sensation away. I always wondered if this cure had possible brain damaging effects like sniffing markers would?

Anyways, I totaly forgot I used to use this when I was younger, and sinse so many people have admited doing this I will too. I guarantee it almost always instantly cures you. Don't miss the ear swab with it, and a throat gargle. It will burn, and your eyes too for a bit, and will make you a bit or very dizzy for 1- 20 minutes. There were a few times I did it twice a day for a few days in a row to make sure I didnt miss any of the infection. I just want to say this does work, and thank you for reminding me.

One warning, per the burning and foaming , hold your breath as you need to tip your head back so it goes deep down your sinuses. This means a bit may go down your throat causing a little lung choke. A few times in the past, after I did that it went down through my nose down my throat, and a bit got in my lungs, I felt like I couldn't breath for a few minutes and coughed excesively. It really sacred me!!! the peroxide fumes, can cause your lung passages to swell. {So keep it to a few drops or you may regret it} I mean it!!! So make absolutrely sure you hold your breath a good 20 secs after snorting it. Peroxide also cures my sore throats I get occasionaly, gurgle it carefuly do not swallow. {Hold your breath, and gargle after a minute with plain water and spit out.

I forgot I did this, because it started to become a big habit, I did it for preventative reasons too often, and 1 day I said I better stop this or I could be possibly slowly killing brain cells, I don't know? After reading this forum I thi maybe the drs and fda dont want you to know this cure or theyl loose patients to thids remedy. Plus a dr has to worry about malpractice if they say its okay, and someone is to stupid to realize not to od on it, so they say nothing. I wonder????

The best answer, is start out with 1 drop per top cap filled with water and snort. Test your tolerance 1st. If its not so bad try 3 {next time} and no more than 5 drops per capful. Im sure I don't have to tell anyone to be respectful and not share the same bottle of peroxide with others even if it is a disinfectant. lol.

Hope this helped. I did this twice a week when I was 18-19-20 yrs old even when I didnt have anymore infection to keep it from returning. I'm 38 now and this is my 1st sinus infection since about 20 when I stopped.

Thank you so much for sharing all of your experiences with doing this. I found it all very helpful. I was actually on the net looking for remedies for my CAT'S Congestion problems..didn't think I'd actually find a remedy for myself and my HORRIBLE Allergies.

Has anyone noticed if this also helps post nasal drip?? If not, anyone have any suggestions?? ALL the meds I take for allergies, and colds NEVER work well enough for it. It's disgusting and VERY ANNOYING!

Thanks! Good Health to you ALL!! :-)

Dear Vikki,

So happy the hydrogen peroxide is working for you!

You could try some dietary changes to see if that improves the post nasal drip. Dairy would be something to eliminate first, or cut back, as it can be mucous forming.

We have found the herb nettle to be wonderful for allergies. It can be made into a tea, taken in a tincture or a capsule. (2 cups of tea daily, or 4 capsules, twice daily, or 1 teaspoon tincture, twice daily.) Quercetin is another supplement that helps a lot - 1 capsule once or twice a day. We have used it and nettle together.

Hope you continue to improve!

Hello, Vikki (Philadelphia) -- re post nasal drip. It really is helped by oil pulling with pure sesame oil. Pease research OP section on EC. I have done so for years and with success for more than one reason.

Namaste, Om
