Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I am currently on Allegra, 24hr pills to help with my sinus problems. No allergies as far as I know of. Is there a alternative to drugs to help with one's sinuses ? If I dont take the Allegra I am congested for most of the day & at night I wake up to breathe through my mouth.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hi Dawn, Many years ago I suffered from chronic sinus infections. I saw different doctors and an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist who kept giving me stronger and stronger antibiotics as well as allergy medications, nasal sprays and even steroids. I was finally diagnosed with having a polyp in the sinus under my right eye and a deviated septum which was due to repeated infections. I was given the option to stay on medications indefinitely or have surgery to " correct " the problem. An herbalist recommended 2 herbal combinations to me that support and nourish the respiratory system including the sinuses. After I began taking the herbs my body was able to heal and I no longer had the sinus issues and never took any other medications or had surgery. So, of course I always recommend these products to all my clients who suffer from allergies and sinus problems. ALJ: http://www.mynsp.com/natureforlife/products/guide.aspx?stockNum=774 Fenugreek & Thyme: http://www.mynsp.com/natureforlife/products/guide.aspx?stockNum=885 The ALJ promotes respiratory tissue health and gently cleanses the respiratory system. The Fenugreek & Thyme is wonderful for sinus congestion and sinus headaches.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hi Dawn, I had a lifetime of congestion due to allergies, along with a tendency to sinus infections. Limiting dairy in my diet, high doses of Vit C and a good B vitamin supplement along with saline rinses has eliminated my need for antihistamins. If my sinuses start feeling inflamed I take homeopathic belladonna. Breathing peppermint oil also helps. But don't do that at the same time the homeopathic is used. It took a couple of months for me to see results. Good luck! Julie Dawn <abnrmlisme wrote: I am currently on Allegra, 24hr pills to help with my sinus problems. No allergies as far as I know of.

Either mix your own or consult an aromatherapist. Useful oils: eucalyptus essential oil lavender essential oil peppermint essential oil tea tree essential oil rosemary essential oil a. 2 drops eucalyptus and 2 drops rosemary in your oil blend will encourage clearing congestion. b. invigorating oils ( eucalyptus and rosemary) can be used to massage the face, head, and chest. c. massage temples with 1% dilution peppermint oil to clear nasal passages. d. massage neck and base of skull with an oil blend to open the sinuses. e. apply pressure with fingertips along eyebrows and under cheekbones to open sinuses. f. combine equal parts eucalyptus, tea tree and lavender for a sinus bath blend (add to warm bath). Making blends can be tricky. See our web site (non profit) for further tips. Frank http://www.therapyessence.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
