As many of the folks who wrote in, I was desperate to find treatment for my sinus problem. I had the flu and now 4 weeks later, I still have blocked nasal and sinus passages. Over the counter decongestants and sprays worked for a short while but I believe excessive use of them has now actually caused further congestion. I can't sleep at night, and my throat is sore from continually breathing through my mouth, constant pressure in the sinuses, it's even difficult to talk. I read the tomato juice recipe and went hunting in my cabinets. Believe it or not I found that Bloody Mary Mix (without the alcohol) has similar ingredients and it worked within 1/2 hour. The ingredients on the bottle read: Water, tomato paste, horseradish, sea salt, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, molasses, anchovies, sardine, onion, garlic, cloves,chili peters, eschalots, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper. Thanks for the idea.

I get really bad sinus cloggage when I get a cold. I've tried all the prescribed medicines, none work, all the over the counter medicines, none work. So I tried this one and it made me feel a little better but it didn't unclog my sinuses.

I tried the recipe & it didn't work at all....not even a little bit.
EC: As an alternative to the tomato tea, try drinking apple cider vinegar in water throughout the day. Be patient with severely clogged sinus passages -- give it time. Eventually the vinegar and water will unclog the sinuses. Potassium supplements are also great to dry out the sinuses. Finally, running a hot shower on the sinuses seems to do the trick most of the time too. If you tried the tomato tea after that, perhaps the sinuses would stay open.
