Im tired of spending hundreds of dollars on pharmacy and GP suggested medications for sinus and allergies. There must be a better, cheaper solution. Help!
I have seasonal allergies and I use a Saline nose spray from CVS. It’s pretty much salt water, and it completely flushes out your sinuses and gets rid of all the pollen that builds up and causes you to get colds, sinus infections, sore throats, etc. It’s only a few dollars, you don’t need a prescription, and if you use it once a day you’ll get immediate results. Hope that helps! My doctor reccomended it and it works wonders for me.
I find Garlic and Horseradish really helps (in a vitamin tablet/capsule form), having suffered from chronic sinus issues for years.
Also, I have read in many places that to help with allergies, you should eat honey from a local producer. ie, honey that is made by bees who are eating the pollen in the area you live in.
To help with the pain, try an inhalation. Fill a bowl with boiling water and stick your head over it (towel on your head is optional) and breath in the steam.
My husband uses this to keep from getting bronchitis, and I use to to cure sinus infections. THere are many kinds of bacteria that live in the sinuses, and this gets rid of all the bad ones!.This is the only thing that really helped me — my Dr. told me about a sinus wash that will kill bacteria.
you need
distilled water
sea salt
liquid chlorophyll and colloidal silver from the health food store.
in a glass mix 1/4 cup water with a pinch of salt and heat to body temperature.
add 5 drops each silver and chlorophyll and mix.
using a large dropper (like one used for infant medication) drop 2 full droppersfull into one side of the nose while laying down.
Turn the head and let it drain out the other nostril. Be sure to have paper towels handy.
The silver kills the bacteria and there are several hundred kind that can live in the sinus cavities and anti biotics don’t get rid of them all.
Do this twice a day for a week, mixing up the mixture fresh each time.
Then do it once a week for maintenance.
There is nothing in this that will hurt you, and it cured me.
I do not have to take claritin, or antibiotics anymore.
best wishes
For years, I used a tincture Osha Eyebright purchased from the health food store. You add it to water and microwave it like a cup of tea and drink it. However, with age your sinus problems get worse. Finally, saught the advice of an ENT doc and had sinus surgery. Problem resolved immediately following surgery.
Theres a product called Fess which is a saline solution which you literally squirt up your nose (Not a nasal spray but about 200ml of water). I found it worked for me. It took awhile though. The first few days it felt like it made it worse, but then it seemed to really help. I paid about $16 for the initial kit, but then you can just mix salt with boiled water to refill it.
steam
lots of zinc and vitamin c
