Sinus Infection Relief the Natural Way

A friend of mine asked me for suggestions on getting rid of sinus infections and so here we go again.  I figured I should go ahead and post it here too, since I had it all together anyway.  (Sometimes I get a little blog-happy=)  But here it is anyway:

Colloidal Silver is a natural antibiotic. You can drink it. You can wash your eyes out with it and put it straight into the ear for an ear infection. I just bought 8 ounces of it for $13 at a health food store. 

 Or, you could try Grape Fruit Seed Extract. I've never used that one, but I have a friend who has and it's supposed to be even better than the colloidal silver. It's sometimes called "liquid gold". Not sure how much that one costs.  But I do plan to try it next chance we get...not that I want my peeps to get sick or anything. 

Echinacea  and Goldenseal are both powerful herbs for fighting infection and sinus infection symptoms. Echinacea can be taken for up to 2-3 weeks at a time. It is best to take it for a period of 2 to 3 weeks and then stop taking it for the same amount of time before you start back again.You can buy them combined in one pill and at just about any pharmacy/drug store.  You can also buy it in liquid form for children, but that's a little harder to find. 

Eucalyptus has powerful antibacterial properties, and also works as an effective expectorant and antiseptic.  It is not recommended for children.

Food Allergy is one of the major causes of sinus infection. Many people have found that avoiding certain food groups totally cured them of this condition. Dairy products, wheat, eggs, chickens, ducks, chocolates, peanuts, bananas and corn are all foods that could cause these problems. To figure out for sure which food group you may be allergic to, a diagnostic blood test is available.

Garlic Juice or Garlic capsules have anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Sinus infections could be either bacterial or fungal in nature, so the properties of garlic should be an effective natural cure.

And old Home Remedy:

Another option is to put some chopped fresh garlic and onions in a bowl of hot water and inhale the steam 2-3 times a day.
