CURING DIFFICULT or STUBBORN SINUS INFECTIONS
If antibiotics and/or the below home remedies are not curing your sinus infection, you need to take a look at your diet and eliminate all the mucous forming/thickening foods or drinks. Milk, citrus, spicy foods, wheat, cheese, etc. are usually the culprits. Try eliminating them from your diet for a few days.
Then try all of the following:
* Wild Oil of Oregano, a very powerful anti-bacterial herb (capsules are best)... Take 2 capsules every 3- 4 hours. This is a very safe herb.
* Potassium supplements -- dries up mucous.
* Drink apple cider vinegar throughout the day in large glasses of water (ACV thins mucous). See below for more information about ACV.
Run a hot shower run onto your face (forehead and nose) and then clear all the mucous from sinuses. Do this several times a day.
You should see improvement within a day or two. Please let us know how it goes!
HOME REMEDIES TO CURE SINUS INFECTIONS:
#1. Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is our #1 favorite remedy for stopping sinus infections. We wish more people knew about this amazing home remedy for sinus infections. The idea is to take apple cider vinegar before the sinus infection occurs, which for most people is at the start of allergies, colds, flu, etc.
We have found that when apple cider vinegar is taken either as a daily tonic or at the first sign of an allergy or cold (i.e., sinus headache, stuffy nose, watery eyes), one can completely stop the histamine response or allergic reaction. If you happen to have one of the brands of ice cream mentioned above, you should also take a large dose of apple cider vinegar the moment you get home.
There are a couple ways you can drink apple cider vinegar. One way is to put 1/8 to 1/4 cup ACV in 16 oz of water and sip it throughout the day. The other method is to gulp the mixture at once. Depends on your preference, really! Sometimes you just have to take this dosage once to stop the allergy and sometimes you need to take it up to three times a day. If taken at the onset of symptoms, allergies will usually disappear between 1 -3 hours after taking the first dose of Apple Cider Vinegar. If you've been experiencing allergies for a day or more, your symptoms will disappear after about 24 hours. If they don't, make sure you continue to take water/vinegar mixture for several days!
2 readers have found success by taking Apple Cider Vinegar Tablets or Capsules for help with allergies and sinus infections. We are not big fans of the capsules, but let us know if you beg to differ!
14 Readers have found success by taking a heavy dose* of ACV the moment they feel a sinus infection coming on. (* Note: dose = 2 TBLSP diluted (or straight) in spring water up to 3x a day)
Please remember -- the key to success is to use apple cider vinegar before a sinus infection appears (i.e. during the first stages of a flu or allergy attack).
Marie writes us, "I was skeptical in believing that ACV would help my sinus infection. However, I took 2 tablespoons by itself and I felt my throat burning. Immediately it cleared up my nasal passages, and my throat was so much better. It was instantaneous! Forget going to the doctor!"
Julie writes, "I have taken apple cider vinegar pills and a teaspoon of honey from my local area to combat allergies. I have had much success with this combination and have told several others who were desperate for anything. All of them reported improvements in their allergies, relieving especially hay fever symptoms."
Laura writes, "I believe I am suffering from a recurring sinus infection due to allergies which are extreme this season here in the Coachella Valley Desert. I can't believe the results that I have already seen. The infection is gone from the sinus area. Now I'm just hacking up phlegm, which makes me think that it's breaking up and on it's way out. What really trips me out is that Apple Cider Vinegar and water is helping me to overcome this yuck. I will be keeping up the treatments along with building up my immune system. This has opened up my eyes to really clean myself up. I am so glad that I went Web Searching little more than a week ago. You guys are awesome and I have already book marked your site. Thank you. Laura D."
Jeff, from Antigo, WI writes, "I was skeptical to try this (apple cider vinegar). But I did after the first signs of a sinus headache and pressure. That was last nite and this morning the headache was gone and my sinuses are draining very easily now. i would recomend this to anyone with a sinus cold."
Lynne, from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia writes, "I suffered from bad throat and cough, blocked nose especially at night. It was so bad that as if I could not breathe, so I have to get up so often night causing sleeping problems. It was so bad that doctors thought I had asthma. Whenever I eat spicy food, I tend to get choked easily and it was so embarrassing. Sought help from ENTs (Ear Nose & Throat Doctors) but no avail and to extent they recommended surgeries. It was a friend who recommended me and literally forced to drink a mug at her apartment. In fact, it was almost instant remedy on road to recovery. I mix a tablespoon with a mug of water and drink in the morning. After about a month, it sort of cleared the irritants in my throat and I hardly have any bad throat problems, blocked nose problems at night and I hardly cough like I used to have like a monthly occurence. Apple cider really helps on sinuses. No need to go to doctors! Now I can sleep so soundly. "
Steaming with Apple Cider Vinegar
Lloyd, from Tulsa writes, "I have found that bringing an equal amount of Apple Cider Vinegar and water to boil, then inhaling the fumes as it starts to boil, quickly relieves sinus conjestion/infections. Just a warning though, close your eyes and mouth when doing this...the vapors are hard to deal with."
Recipe 2 TBLSPOONS (1/8th cup) up to 1/4 cup of organic ACV in 16 or more oz of water. Increase amount as necessary being careful to note if heartburn caused. If heartburn, drink milk and lots of water. Our favorite brand of Apple Cider Vinegar is Bragg. Trader Joe's makes a nice organic brand. If Organic is difficult to find in your area, try a name brand like Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar. Bitter taste, but it still works!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capsules Be careful if you decide to buy capsules. They are extremely acidic and can easily cause heartburn. You can take about a cup of apple cider vinegar a day of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar without getting heartburn.

| I am a nurse and recently experienced my first ever sinus infection after a cold. I was sick for almost two weeks and finally went to the urgent care for some antibiotics. Omnicef and Prednisone were ordered. I finshed those. Two weeks later, it seemed like it was getting worse, did research and found that some sinus infection take two rounds of antibiotics to clear. Went back to the urgent care for another rx, this time Avelox and another 10 days of Prednisone. The Prednisone was making me have huge mood swings, almost manic behavior and I could not take more than 6 days of that. I did manage to finish the antibiotics. I was still having sinus congestion, headaches, tooth pain, and a foul odor from my sinues but there was no way I was taking any more antibiotics or Prednisone. I did more research on sinusitis and came across this website and the ACV with mother treatment. I bought some and have had 30cc/2tbsp in 8 oz water for the last three days and my sinus symptoms are basically gone. I can't say it is for sure cause and effect but it is way too coincidental that after almost 6 wks of dealing with this, after drinking ACV with mother for 3 days, on the 4th day, no real symptoms. I would say that is a cure.

My questions are, did you drink only 1 8oz/2tbsp per day or more than once a day? If more than once a day, how many times per day?
I have a sinus infection which cause my eardrums to have air pockets. I've been a having fuzzy head and headaches, and very much would like to get rid of it. Thought I was going through labrynthitis again, but my doctors diagnoses was that I was getting those similar symptoms because of those air pockets.
as of today, I've had one of those ACV drinks per your message.
My thanks in advance.

I have suffered from sinus infection for over twenty years. I always thought that I had allergies and congestion that ended in sinus infection. Then, I realized that my sinus congestion was due to acid reflux. I started reading on uses for ACV and started drinking it first thing in the morning. First try, I had ACV with water, but I kept reading about it and a woman recommended drinking it with cranberry juice so I gave it a try and it tasted much better. I am on my second week of taking ACV with cranberry juice and my sinus has stopped. I had a lot of mucus coming out and I have no sneezes and no running nose. I used to have constant running nose for years. Believe me, I have tried everything from foods that caused allergies and inflammation and nothing worked, but ACV worked right away. I also hear that it has other benefits to health so I will continue drinking it as a morning start. I only do a teaspoon with cranberry juice and it works wonders.

Can't do the apple cider vinegar so I opted to take 500 mg capsules two x daily. One in the morning & one at night = no heartburn.
Plus before I steam over the sink w/towel, I like to open a capsule & sprinkle it in the hot water.
And peppermint tea w/1 tsp. honey + a capsule sprinkled in, is a great alternative too!
