The
Natural Way to Sinus Infection Relief:
Homeopathic and Herbal Remedies
People in most civilized western
countries have come to rely on modern prescription drugs for relief
of almost all ailments. Plus, prescription drug cards make them
less expensive than herbal, homeopathic or natural remedies which
aren’t generally FDA-approved and therefore not covered by
insurance.
These factors make many doctors
and patients ignore information on homeopathic, herbal and natural
remedies.
Although complementary and alternative
medicine is on the upswing, only 19-37% of Americans have tried
homeopathic or other natural remedies.
Yes, modern drugs cure many infections; vaccines can keep us healthy
and have stopped many deadly plagues; and advances in surgery have
greatly improved cancer survival, bone healing and organ transplant
success.
But for pesky non-contagious pain
and “feeling bad” that just won’t go away –
like chronic sinus infection – people that lived long ago
or who live in remote areas today may have it all over us when it
comes to finding relief through nature and what our own bodies produce.
Homeopathic, herbals and natural remedies can be used consistently
for prevention, whereas we can’t take antibiotics all the
time.
Homeopathic and natural remedies
still have a vital and powerful place in preventive health and healing.
Patience is the key to clearing
up sinus infections/chronic sinusitis once and for all. Homeopathic
and natural remedies take a little longer to work than
antibiotics, but will do a better job of cleansing to help prevent
future infection.
Here are just a few remedies,
including VÄXA’s own homeopathic. Note: If a heavy fungal
yeast is confirmed in the sinus infection, see “fluconazoles”
to “jump-start” the death of the yeast before homeopathic
or natural remedies can fully work.
VÄXA’s Homeopathic
Remedies
VÄXA is proud to introduce
a new homeopathic product, Sinus
Formula for relief of chronic sinus infections.
The capsules contain multiple ingredients to clear up infectious
mucus secretions, alleviate nasal, sinus and eye pressure and help
to reduce vertigo (balance) problems.
For nasal irrigation, Vaxa is
now offering a Neti Pot as recently seen on the Oprah TV show.
It’s also a good idea to
build up your “good gut flora”- friendly bacterial colonies
in the intestines which help ward off infections - by taking ReFlora.
Normally these colonies are naturally produced, but if you get sinus
infections you may not have enough good bacteria.
Herbal Remedies
Powerful natural antifungal and natural antibiotic
properties can be found in the following herbs and plants. These
can be especially effective remedies to open sinuses and kill infection
when used as follows:
Steam Formula:
Garlic - 1/2 clove or 500 mg capsule
tea tree oil - 2 drops
eucalyptus (found in vapor rub products)
– ¼ teaspoon
the South American herb
pau d’arco - 2 drops or half of one 500 mg capsule
Dissolve ingredients into 2 cups
of boiled steaming water. Inhale deeply for 2-3 minutes twice
daily until mucus loosens and expels.
Alternative or add to
formula these essential oils: Combine 2-3 drops each: thyme, rosemary,
and lavender.
The pot of water should be changed once each day.
For Ingestion:
Garlic should be eaten often or, to avoid the odor, taken in tablet
or capsule form. Pau d’arco is available in drops (follow
directions) or capsules. Another effective herb is Olive Leaf
Extract (follow directions).
For Topical Use:
Tea tree oil in drops or creams, and eucalyptus gels are generally
for external
use. Rub small dots under the nostrils, above the brow and on
ear lobes. Vapors will seep into the sinuses.
Hydrotherapy
Dip a hot cloth in the Steam Formula. Use it as alternating hot
and cold compresses directly on sinus areas: 3-4 minutes hot, 30-60
seconds cold. Repeat several times/day. The vapors will penetrate.
