sinus infection

suggested by vicki on Sunday, December 16, 2007

This remedy was given to me from my daughters nose surgeon as she had cancer and radiation treatments to her head and had to keep her nasal passages clean and clear,,you use 1/4 teaspoon table salt and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda to 8 ounces warm water,,you take a big syringe (like one you would use to inject a flavoring into a turkey)you fill the syringe with solution and insert into one nostril and shoot it up fast,,you need to put your tongue to the roof of the back of your mouth to prevent the solution from going down your throut,,you dont want that,,the solution needs to come out of the other nostril,,if it does not,,that is how clogged your sinus cavities are,,you need to use all the solution alternating between nostrils,,do this 3 times a day for 2 weeks if you have a sinus infection,,and then once a day there after and you will never get another sinus infection,,,also works for runny noses,,the snot will come out,,kind of gross,,have tissues to wipe nose while doing this.

Sinusitis--Salt Water

suggested by Tamica on Tuesday, January 2, 2007

My mother-in-law had me do this many years ago. At first I was unbelieving, but whenever my sinuses act up, I use this to get immediate relief! Make some cool salt water in a glass, as if to gargle your throat. Take some of the salt water in your hand, and "sniff" it, allowing it to go up your nose. Do this two or three times. Your nose will open up immediately, and it shrinks the membranes!

Sinusitis Natural Cure using Toothpaste Treatment

suggested by Collin on Tuesday, September 19, 2006

Hello, After reading this and other blogs, I came upon a simple, effective and obvious treatment for my sinusitis: vastly improved oral hygene. In a nutshell: make your own toothpaste (dentifrice) out of 3% hydrogen-peroxide and baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). Make it fresh before every use: - 1 (one) ounce of peroxide - 1 (one) one teaspoon of baking soda in a glass). - Stir, brush, spit, repeat - Rinse mouth - Rinse glass and toothbrush The science here is mostly dentistry. Dentists use this exact same dentifrice for teeth cleaning and whitening. It costs pennies to make and they charge hundreds of dollars for it. The sinusitus connection is obvious. The nasal infection is caused by the most filthy object in your house: your toothbrush. Studies have shown that your would be better off sticking your toilet brush in your mouth (I am serious) The above treatment transforms your toothbrush from the most bacteria ridden object in your to the most sterile object in your house. Side effects: - Professional teeth whitening that is noticable immediately - No more bleeding gums. - No more bad breath - Throw away your toothpaste, listerine, witheners, mints, etc. This is serious chemistry that works NOTES: - Do not make a big batch and store it - it must be made fresh every use. - You can omit the baking soda, if required. - DO NOT USE BAKING POWDER! - DO NOT EXCEED 3% HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IN DISTILLED WATER SOLUTION!! The ingredient can be obtained at any drugstore or supermarket for about two bucks, and last about a six months.
