Re: Re: sinus infections - Natural remedy's

[Guest guest]

I have a sinus infection I am/was hard as a rock, I am on antibiotics and yuck I can feel the rawness and my asthma twitching as it breaks down, the doctors treat them as an emergency for asthma patients it is really important because it can lead to a lung infection if not properly taken care of and you don't want that. Additionally, I get dizzy so I know something is lurking a good sign to go to sleep!

I know that using a Nettie pot (which you can pick up at any majorpharmacy) will clean out your sinuses, and using a mixture of 2 tbspslocal honey and 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar daily will prevent sinusissues related to seasonal allergies. However, if you truly have aninfection (thick yellow/green colored mucus or higher than normaltemps) you really need to call your doc. I know with my doctor I canusually call him when I know that it is an infection and he will callin a script for me (I do have a long-standing close dr/patientrelationship with him though.) Especially with asthma. A sinusinfection can cause flare ups with your asthma. Sorry I couldn't bemore help.Madeline>> HI group,> I think i have a sinus infection.

With the garlic, there was a thing on BBC breakfast news this morning about natural remedies for colds etc.Squash heated up, rather than served cold, is v good, as is garlic crushed, boiled, the water strained to remove the bits of garlic and then drunk. They also joked that it would prevent the cold from spreading, as no-one would go near you!!

Garlic -

Garlic is one of the best infection fighters available for both bacterial and viral infections. It is a natural antibiotic that does not appear to create resistant bacteria strains. In addition, fresh garlic extract has been shown to be virucidal to many viruses.

Garlic possesses the ability to stimulate the immune system.

It can stimulate the activity of the macrophages (white blood cells), which engulf foreign organisms, such as: viruses, bacteria, and yeast.

Furthermore, garlic increases the activity of the T-helper cells (immune cells which are central to the activity of the entire immune system). Garlic may be particularly effective in treating upper respiratory viral infections due to its immune-enhancing properties and its ability to clear mucous from the lungs.

It destroys and/or inhibits various bacteria and fungi, with an antibacterial action equivalent to 1% penicillin.

Garlic is effective against strep, staph, and even anthrax bacteria.
