Additional Natural Solutions To Effectively Combat A Sinus Problem
Raw Garlic works!
About 2 years back I had a terrible chest cold. Bronchitis or borderline phenmonia?
All I know is I felt terrible & like someone was standing on my chest! I Had no insurance & could not afford to head off to the dr.
My sister in law who is learning about natural/herbal remidies told me to try Garlic & guraranteed me that it works!
I was skeptical but I did try it.
& it absolutly worked!
Can't say it is my favourite thing in the world.
But when I am sick,, Garlic is my favourite thing!
So this is what ya do.
Get a clove of raw FRESH garlic peel the skin off....if you are brave pop it in yer mouth & chew it up & swallow it.
Just be warned: Garlic in its natural form is hot, spicy, & manly. Take another clove in about 10 minutes.
I've gotten bored with gnawing up whole cloves so what I do is cut a clove into pill sized pieces pop in my mouth give it a pair bites. & chug down with a warm glass of water. Don't Crush your garlic & do not boil .... Cuz you release the fancy oils in the garlic taking away the good stuff.the medicinal purpose. You need that stuff in your system not on your plate or cutting board.
Seriously it does work.
For me I like to just eat three cloves all at once & get it over with. If I am not totally better I usually eat one clove the following day. & be sure to drink plenty of WATER. Keep your system hydrated particularly when you start sweating out that cold!
Another tip.
Obviously you will smell like garlic particularly when you start sweating out your cold. ( so will your garments & your bed sheets from laying around feeling misserable with your cold.)
Get some epson salts. & take a warm soaking epson salts bath by the end of the day & the following day...
The salts will help to draw out your cold & the garlic smell.
One good thing about garlic is the bugs will not bug you Guaranteed!
Echanacia Tea is terribly good too when ya got a cold. It is extraordinarily calming for a sore throat & helped me with the coughing.
If you can't confront all this garlic stuff, what about honey?
Natures gift to us is honey...at night drink a huge tumbler of hot water with 2 spoons of honey - this could make you sweat like mad...A really good chinese drugs to take as well is kang bing du ruan jiao nang...If the throat is truly sore also take niu huang shang qing wan. I was always getting colds and never understood why until i came to china.
