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.
