| Here's my natural remedy......hasn't failed in many years!It has stopped the sinus infections completely and has helped a lot with allergies! DH sometimes uses a drop or two on a filter for his sleep apnea machine!
There is a natural product called Tea Tree Oil and it is taken from the Mellaleuca Alternifolia. You can find a small dropper bottle of this at Wally World or any health food store. Tea Tree is a natural, antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal!
Now here is the recipe! Buy a small bottle of plain store brand nasal saline. Pop the nose squirter thingy off and drop 2 drops ONLY of the Tea Tree Oil in it! Put nose thingy back on it and use 3-4 times a day as needed until sinus infection is cleared up. Since you already HAVE the infection, take your antibiotics and use this. As you know, antibiotics will kill the germ, but not always take care of the nasal/head symptoms. This will and will work as a preventative. As you get better, you can cut back on how many times a day you use it. If no symptoms at all, I use it 2-3 times a week. At the first sign of sinus or allergies, I immediately start with the 3-4 times a day routine. If I get a dry scratchy throat, I use it.
**WORD OF CAUTION: If you are one of those that think if a little is good then a lot is better.......STOP!! If you use more than 2 drops of this, it will take your head off! It is strong stuff but it works!!  |
