Hydrogen Peroxide: Safe Sinus Infection Relief

Holy C**P , this really works. I did antibiotics two weeks ago and nothing moved. I had presure and pain, unable to taste anything and dizzy everyday. I was going crazy waiting for another Dr. Office visit and saw this water salt and little bit of Hydrogen peroxide mix, tried it and suddenly I had drainage for the first time. Never so much so fast. It kills but it works.

Wimps, all of you. I snort the straight 3% right up my nose and into my sinuses. Yes it burns, therefore I do not recomend it unless you have a rather high tolerance for pain. Just try to limit the quantity so you do not swallow it when it comes down the back side. Enjoy!! Chucktruck

I can't stop laughing after reading Chucktruck's response here. As I read through all the entries here I thought that maybe I was overdoing it a bit. LOL I too use straight 3% HP up both nostrils and in both ears. It sure can hurt, so it's not for the faint of heart. I know it's working if I think my eyeball will explode. LOL Straight HP is strong medicine, but if you can bear it, it does work. Don't forget the ears too!

I read an article on a person in Mexico City. he suffered from sinuses for seven years, and me I was sick for five. I could not believe it at first. but I am fine from allergies and living great for now. here is my cure, like i said it is up to you to do it.

use a sinus rinse which you can find in cs, rite aid or other pharmacies. put some hydrogen peroxide amount. mixed with warm water and flush your nose. the next day u will start hacking and spitting kind of brown mucus from your mouth. it will take about one week to start feeling great and getting the sense of smell back. to tell you the truth it does work. if any questions email me ok

It burns like hell because you didn't add salt to the solution, not because of the hydrogen peroxide content. Even if you had just added pure water it would've burnt like hell without the salt.

I had a terrible sinus infection in the left side of my face. No mucus but pain up into my nose, down into my jawbone, teeth and neck. Couldn't sleep on that side or the pain would flare up for hours. I use hydrogen peroxide for a lot so I put it in water in the neti pot tonight ( couple of tablespoons?) Pain gone. Slept on that side all night with. No problems. Hardly any tenderness in face. Plan on doing this concoction for the next few days, few times a day. Eureka! Magic cure. Put some down in ears on qtip after reading this... mucus I didn't even know I had back of throat loosened up ( allergies).

I just did the hydrogen peroxide for sinus infections remedy -- it stings like hell. However, it did relieve my congestion. It remains to be seen whether it killed the infection. I'll do it 3-4 times daily over the next several days.

You're absolutely right. I've used the regular 3% hydrogen peroxide (Walmart/Walgreens) sparingly in salt water, with a little plastic neti pot with no problems. With enough practice, one learns how to tilt the right then the left side over a sink and clear out those sinuses in minutes. Don't need food grade and it doesn't burn that bad if one uses just a little. Immediate comfort is felt, infection clears up with just a few uses. Hydrogen peroxide mixed with the salt water works!

Hydrogen Peroxide + Neti Pot = No more Sinus Infection. I am a big believer in natural remedies (probiotics rock!) but my wife is a HUGE skeptic. She has been suffering from severe headaches with pressure in her forehead, eyes and cheeks for about a month. She has always had problems with her sinuses and has tried a neti pot with a saline solution, but with no luck. Before my wife went off to the doctor for another round of antibiotics (boo!) I found your website. What an incredible source of information. I followed some of the postings here and mixed up a 50/50 mix of lukewarm water and hydrogen peroxide in her neti pot. Almost instantly she said the pressure in her head subsided and her nose started pouring. As other people have commented the mucus was thinner and whiter than before and it did sting when she first started. But says it is definitely worth it.

In 1904, Charles Marchand publishes the last of a series of 18 books on hydrogen peroxide as a treatment for typhoid fever, gastric ulcers, bronchitis and tuberculosis and more other disease. This is the most in depth study I've ever read.

From the book - The Therapeutical Applications of Peroxide of Hydrogen, Hydrozone and Glycozone, by Charles Marchand 9th Ed 1895

GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR APPLYING

PEROXIDE OF HYDROGEN (MEDICINAL), H2O2, IN THE TREATMENT OF DISEASES CAUSED BY GERMS.

NOSE. —THROAT AND CHEST DISEASES. -TREATMENT.

CATARRH OF THE NOSE AND CATARRH OF THE THROAT.

Causes: Micro- organisms, principally of the micrococcus species have been detected by microscopical examinations, by scientific men and by myself, in the mucous discharges from the nostrils of persons afflicted with this disease. Those germs which are the cause of the infection are readily destroyed by Peroxide of Hydrogen (medicinal), and there is no danger for the patient to use these remedies in any quantity, as both are positively harmless.

Treatment: By means of an atomizer, made of glass and hard rubber, spray the nose and the throat copiously and repeatedly twice or three times every day with a mixture of:

1 tablespoonful Peroxide of Hydrogen, (medicinal), with 4 to 10 tablespoonfuls of distilled water (cold or lukewarm).

According to the degree of inflammation in the mucous membranes of the nasal cavities ; and, in case of extreme sensitiveness, use even still a larger proportion of water.

NOTE—In the absence of an atomizer, apply the remedy to the nose by sniffing the liquid from the hand through the nostrils repeatedly, and gargle the throat. It is always beneficial to swallow the remedy. Do not blow the nose too hard, as it might cause a temporary bleeding. In chronic cases of long standing, especially at the beginning of the treatment, when the tenderness of the mucous membrane is excessive, it often happens that the patient will feel, during one hour or so after each application of the remedy, a partial obstruction of either one or the other of the nostrils.

This very unpleasant feeling is often accompanied by frequent sneezing, which is due to the tickling sensation produced in the nasal cavities by the presence of a great quantity of minute bubbles of "O2, " being set free from the decomposition of Peroxide of Hydrogen coming in contact with the infected surface. The unhealthy secretions are destroyed by "O2" and the cleansing of the nostrils is made perfect.

In chronic cases, when the middle ear is affected, deafness is often the consequence of this disease. Then ozonized vapor inhalations should follow immediately the spraying of the nose and the throat, and should be administered by means of Hand Atomizer and Ozonizer, with a mixture thoroughly made of:

half Peroxide of Hydrogen (medicinal) and half chemically pure glycerine.

Renew the mixture every three days. It is important that the above mixtures should be made perfect by shaking the bottle well, otherwise the spray-tube of the apparatus might be clogged on account of the syrupy nature of the glycerine

A permanent cure may be effected in a very short time.

When chronic Catarrh of the Nose is very tenacious and painful, it is necessary at night, before retiring, to apply a few drops to the nostrils. Sniff it hard, as it will accelerate the cure.

In many cases the incurability of Chronic Catarrh of the Nose is due to partial or complete obstruction of the nasal cavities, caused by some abnormal conditions of growth, differing in their nature.

When such is the case, apply Peroxide of Hydrogen, as heretofore explained, morning and evening. After ten or fifteen days, if the excrescence does not disappear, it will be necessary to have a surgical operation performed for its removal.

After the excrescence has been removed or destroyed by means of the thermo-cautery, or any other operation (no caustic should be used, as it will most likely destroy both taste and smell), an absolute cure is certain if the above treatment is earnestly followed.

The profession well know that the therapeutical agents used for the treatment of this disease have been as follows: Bichloride of Mercury. -Calomel. —Sulphate of Zinc. -Sulphate of Copper.-Alum. -Nitrate of Silver. -Carbolic Acid. -Salicylic Acid. -Permanganate of Potash . -Borax. -Boracic Acid. —Subnitrate of Bismuth. -Common Salt. Muriate of Ammonia. -Extract of Eucalyptus. -Thymol. -Cocaine. -Camphor, etc.

It is easy to understand why Peroxide of Hydrogen (medicinal), will surely accomplish a permanent cure.

I've had a sinus infection which started from covid in early Nov. I started using Hydrogen Peroxide nasal rinse with 8oz distilled water, 2 tablespoons of food grade peroxide, neil med saline pouch, and a drop of baby shampoo. I did neil med bottle 3 times each of the 2 days.

My nose feels better, but im still a bit stuffy, especially at night with a white cloudy frothy mucus with the odd (5) small red spots of blood. Not sure if this is the virus that has been sticking around or is it from the peroxide?? I'm also wondering what adjustments I need to make to get rid of it

I put a cap full of peroxide in a styrofoam cup and mix it with 1/2 cup warm water. I then pour it into my hand and snort it. I do this with peroxide or sometimes salt. Sure quick way of healing sinus issues. I also used this for strep throat which helped a lot since that post nasal drip was causing the strep.

I had a cold; my sinus was congested and horrible sneezing and runny nose, so I took a Q-tip and saturated it with H-P and swabbed as far up as I could reach and snorted. Intense reaction followed by clearing of the nasal storm ... Amazing what the extra oxygen can do.

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!

I don't normally suffer from sinus problems but was looking for relief from a sinus infection that stemmed from a cold. All I could dream about was an antibiotic from the doctor but didn't want to spend the money on our racket of a healthcare system. So I looked into homeopathic remedies and ended up here on this sight. Deciding against apple cider vinegar - although I do believe that it is some powerful stuff - the hydrogen peroxide was something I'd never heard of but sounded like a good idea. I shook some salt from the salt shaker into a small bowl, added about a 1/2 cup of warm water, then put in the hydrogen peroxide - just a glug - far less peroxide than water in my mixture. I dug out one of those blue baby booger suckers I used when my kids were smaller. Tipped my head back and squirted it in one side of my nose - it burned bad! This is not even the 50/50 mixture - but green & yellow snot with the fluid immediately came dripping out my nose and landed in the sink. It was really cool. I repeated this several times on each side until the snot stopped coming out. I can even breathe out of one nostril now. Wow! Thanks for this cool site! This was way better than antibiotics - even a little fun. :)

I've used 3% drugstore hydrogen peroxide for many years and feel very confident using it. You don't need food grade to treat a number of these issues.

I have a neti pot and for sometime had been using distilled water, salt, and baking soda but tonight that did not work. My sinuses were aching and it is 11pm. I have to be up for work at 4:30am. I need my sleep because I am a registered nurse and my unit is always busy. Anyway I immediately came to your site to see what other remedies I could use. You may ask why did I not seek out one of my doctors to write an antibiotic prescription for me. Well, good question as a nurse I see repeatively people's kidneys damaged as well as yeast overgrowth due to antibiotics and I refuse to become one of the many with those conditions. Also I have found that alternative remedies found on this site work soo much better and faster. So anyway I decided to try 1/2 hydrogen peroxide and half water. IT WORKED!!! THANK YOU EARTH CLINIC FOR BEING HERE WHEN I NEED YOU!!

I mixed about 6 parts water with 1 part hydrogen peroxide (the regularly available kind). I hung my head upside down off the side of the bed and had my husband squirt a little bit of the mixture into each nostril with a dropper. It DID burn, but I kept it in there as long as I could stand it, moving my face around to move the mixture through my sinuses. A few minutes after sitting back up, the mucous starting coming out of my nose and throat. I blew my nose for about 10-20 minutes and coughed up some mucous. It isn't pretty, but it worked. I did feel flush for several minutes afterward, too. That little bit of discomfort is worth the relief.

I have been suffering with my sinuses for last 6 months and i just came to realize i had sinusitis few days ago when i came to this website and i had my acid reflux (GERD) from last 6 years. I am living healthy lifestyle and eating fruits and vegetables and everything is in right balance but i was so confused what was wrong with me. I went to eye doctor first and then he told me to see my primary care physician, and he gave me painkillers first and then i was visiting him regularly and we did CT Scan as well. He was not able to see my sinus issue. So then i realized i have not cleared my nose properly in last 3-4 months, then it hit me and i was like damn-- i had sinusitis and doc had no idea that i was suffering from this unbearable pain. To come to the point, i used just hydrogen peroxide yesterday and holy cow i feel much better it is not all cured yet but i am grateful that if i had not come here to this site, i would have never known. And i am also taking apple cider vinegar with honey and it is helping a lot as well. Earth Clinic i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Ktgod, no foam needed. And no putting in nose needed - the nose is too delicate for that. Just keep squirting in your mouth and breathing it deep in. It'll eventually show results, G-d willing.

So today is my fifth day, I have felt no relief from congestion, and today when I blew my nose (before using the neti pot), I saw blood. I am using the neti pot, the included solution, and one teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide, three times a day. should I stop or am I on the right track?

VERY true: 4:1 will be too strong and burn. It'll leave your sinuses irritated, and you with a lot of discomfort. You may very likely get nose bleeds. Dilute at a higher ratio... the 10:1 sounds okay... I'd go higher.
