Guest guest Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 I like stinging nettle for this and it is in a highly effective tincture by Herbs Etc called Allertonic. I am even comfortable giving this to my children in half dose yet it is still highly effective after about 2 days consecutive use. They have capsuls and tincture. Because the tincture is easier to digest and absorb I like that over the capsuls. If you anyone is interested I can give you the phone number to the company however, you may be able to obtain it through a local health food store. I paid $11 for 1 fluid ounce that lasts my family about a month or so depending upon our issues. We have been using this tonic about 2 years.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Best bandaid would be the snuff formula in the files. You've also got some serious cleansing, diet changes, and most likely an exercise program to do. We need more data on your overall lifestyle though to fine tune that. ;o) Love, Doc Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington - djcpgemini <pegues_d herbal remedies Sunday, February 16, 2003 9:24 PM [herbal remedies] Sinus Hi!

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 For sinuses I made a super tincture for my mom and ex. Or maybe it should be called a congestion formula. Eyebright, nettles, cayenne, peppermint, ginger root, turmeric powder, Elecampane root, horehound, garlic acv, astragalus/echinacea root mix and Im pretty sure that's it. :/ I am listing the ingredients from memory. What I did was have them take the tincture, a tbsp, in a cup of hot water with a little lemon juice to help break up congestion. Take a few times a day. It really worked great for them both. All of the ingredients above are equal except for the peppermint, ginger, and astr/ech mix. So to a tincture bottle add 1 tb each and 1/2 tb of the others. Josh wasnt sure if it was allergies/sinuses or what and nothing simle would work for him; he and my mom are prone to sinus infections, hence the infection-fighters, etc. My mom only had to take 2 doses to clear up a sinus infection that was bad for days. Josh hasn't had sinus problems since using and he works around all sorts of a dust. probably a coincidence but worth noting. I also put some rock salt in the bottom of an empty liptube container. I added a few drops of eucalyptus, one drop thyme , one drop peppermint. I covered it with a cotton ball and closed. It is now a mini inhaler for sinuses and can really help clear up as part of an adjacent therapy. I told them to take a vit e and vit c capsule with the tincture, as vit e helps rebuild damaged sinus tissues/lung tissue. Josh also did something else that worked - fill a nose saline bottle (can buy and clean from stores for 89 cents). Fill with a little salt and water and put on nose, really cuts through clogged sinuses. Just some thoughts Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I have noticed that since I have been taking my Total Tonic, Panther Piss every day that my sinus's are not anywhere near as bad as everyone elses... and mine are usually worse... I am taking lemon egg and echinacea plus.. but I forget them sometimes... so I would say it is the TT and PP that are doing the trick.. plus I just did an intestinal cleanse #1.... which also helped... Yes Suzi's above post is right, esp if trying to prevent infections. The tt has garlic and cayenne to fight, as well as other things that work on congestion and immune building/tonics.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2003 Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 steam with garlic and onion. Just cut up two or three garlic cloves and half an onion. Pour boiling water over it. Cover your head with a towel to make a tent and breathe it in. I had blocked sinuses for about a month and once I started doing this, they started draining. Also eat lots of garlic as prevention. Peppermint essential oil is also great. Just sniff it from the bottle or put a few drops on a light bulb. Also, peppermint tea.LightofYeshua wrote: Has anyone got a good remedy for sinus' conditions.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003  i used to use onions chopped up in the hot water and the towel over head. even chopping onions can really get the sinus cleared for a while. Also, the onion steam is very good for cleansing the pores if they are cloggged up. love./. granny- natropractica [herbal remedies] Sinus Massive amounts of Vitamin A will help.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Vitamin A is one you can get too much of though. Unlike Vit C whichthe body will get rid of the excess fairly easily. I would recommend thatyou're careful with taking "massive amounts" of Vit A.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Persistant Sinus infections generally come from Fungus growth. Use of herbal fungal relief remedies persistently should help clear up. Also working on removing from the diet anything that contributes to fungus growth, refined sugars and starches, alcohol, dairy etc will help to prevent reoccurances. And/Or use Quantum Biofeedback that works too.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I would probably have chronic sinus problems if I didn't always flush it out with salt water. Think about it -- all that dry, dirty air and stuff roiling around in those bulbous sinus cavities... They don't have very good outlets, it's not a straight tube for things to go whooshing through without sitting awhile. Most mornings, I get this uncomfortable feeling somewhere in the region of where my nose and throat meet. While still lying down, I tilt my head back a little more and squirt a few drops of the chemical-free sterile saline solution for contact lenses (it's cheap and lasts a long time) into my nostrils and let it run down into those sinus cavities. It flushes things out in there, and after a few seconds of snorting and blowing, out comes a little hard piece of dried stuff, and that uncomfortable sensation is gone. 'Til the next morning.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I always crack up when I think about when I convinced DH to swallow a whole clove of garlic to stave off the cold he was coming down with. Wasn't long before he was frequently burping big smelly garlic burps, and with every one, he would give me this hilarious sidelong dirty look... Far as I remember, he didn't get sick, though. :-) Joy , Jackulene Horn <livelifewell365 wrote: > > How did you get this in your body? Did you cook it, > eat it raw.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Hi, my mother was allergic to garlic, garlic even tiny amounts inducing burping. Garlic even 1' away used to give burping. Air bubbles, gulping air, acidity theory etc. is not applicable here. She was also burping with fish oil caps. =================================================== jmr1290 wrote: > I always crack up when I think about when I convinced DH to swallow a > whole clove of garlic to stave off the cold he was coming down with. > Wasn't long before he was frequently burping big smelly garlic burps, > and with every one, he would give me this hilarious sidelong dirty > look...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Just suggestions that have helped in the past from a frequest sinus victim: Eat a peeled yellow onion like an apple- also kills a cold. Wasabi- can be mixed into tuna salad for sandwiches if the patient is not a fan of sushi but a meal with ingestion of as much wasabi as possible always seems to provide relief Horseradish - the stronger the better Personally the wasabi works best for me but these all provide some relief depending on what is available to you. medmidas <medmi> wrote: Hi, my mother was allergic to garlic, garlic even tiny amounts inducing burping.
