sinus pain need some home remedies

[miss_thenorth]

I do this also, as per the Dr's instruction,but I was told to do it in MODERATION, as it could have th opposite effects if done continually. My dentist loves me now since i started doing this, I used to get pnd 'real bad" there, if you know what I mean, --not much of a problem since I started doing this before an appointment

I saw the use of Neti pot on Oprah's show with Dr Oz....I am tempt to try it since I have allergies and sinus problems almost every day and taken all kinds of meds that would knock a horse cold.

I was wondering if the saline solution would burn the tender tissues inside the sinus cavity?

I used to get a sinus infection every time I caught a cold. What works for me is to boil some water, add a tablespoon or so of thyme (yes, the herb), and make a tent with a towel and just breath in the steam. The thyme can be fresh or dried, it doesn't make a difference. Thyme has anti-bacterial/anti-microbal properties that will help to kill any infection in the sinuses. I found that after only a few treatments my sinus infection would be gone. Now, whenever I start getting a cold, I start on the thyme steams. Haven't had a sinus infection since I've begun doing this. Good luck - those things are horrid - feels like your head will explode. Hope you feel better soon.
