I have been sick 5 days now: chest congestion and nose clogged with mucus. Little scary with lungs and nose getting clogged and hard to breath. Had good luck with Ginger root and ACV with lemon and honey in green tea. Was not getting enough mucus up to make a differance. The ACV & Ginger did help my inflamation.
Today I found the remedy for Tomato Tea. I cannot eat large amounts of red pepper but I was willing to try. I made 1 coffee mug full and when I heat it up to keep it hot. I set the mug into a pan of water to let it get hot. And take in the steam from the water and the tea at the same times into my nose and lungs being careful not to get burned. Mucus has broken up in my nose and I was able to clear some pretty yucky stuff. And my congestion in my chest was able to begin breaking up more productive. Even if my nose clogs again I at lest know what just blew out would not have come up on it's own.
Thanks so much for keeping feedback alive. I feel like I can eat something for supper now. And I have not been able to eat more than light soup all day. I will plan to sip some more of this Tomato tea after supper.
With luck my congestion and clogged nose will stay clear.

I had a sinus headache and a lot of pressure; I could breathe just in a lot of pain. I cannot take antihistamines or Sudafed so I looked up "holistic sinus relief" and it led me here. I did not have tomato juice so I used tomato sauce with water, and I didn't have Tabasco so I used crushed red pepper and paprika. I felt better within 30 minutes.

My partner tried this and he LOVES it! It helps clear out congestion and it tastes fabulous! He used a low sodium V8 drink with all of the other ingredients. Well done! Thanks for posting. :)

I came home from work early today due to a bad cold. The sinus pressure, congestion and constant drip made me miserable as can be. I found this site while searching for home remedies and tried this recipe for Tomato Tea immediately. I kid you not, after a few sips the congestion is gone and the pressure is much less! I still have half of the tea to drink and am thoroughly enjoying it! For hot sauce, I used Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce and just used a big clove of garlic that I ran through a garlic press. The celery salt is a great touch. My gratitude to Jean!

Wow! My somewhat reluctant to herbal remedies beau agreed to try this remedy for a recent major episode of his ongoing sinus congestion. He wants to drink more later. Score one more for the herbal wisdom of the ages! Namaste

I had my first cup of this about 40 minutes ago. I felt better right away just from drinking something hot, then about 30 minutes later my sinus started draining like crazy and a lot of the pressure is gone. I'm definitely going to keep drinking this tea. Thank you Jean!

Wow, I just tried this because both sides of my nostrils were completely clogged. I actually used progressive tomato soup as the base. It worked immediately. I have ridiculous allergies sometimes and the only medicine that works is claritin d but it makes me crazy sleepy. This worked even quicker without the sleepy side effect.
