I found this recipe online when I found myself with a sinus infection late at night and wanted to find something that would work with my system. The recipe was all over the internet.
- 2 cups V8 Juice
- 2-3 cloves Garlic crushed (use more if you can)
- 2 T Lemon Juice
- Hot Sauce (the more the better, so as much as you can handle)
Mix and heat in a pan or in the microwave. Sip slowly and re-warm as needed to get the full effects of the fumes. Let it sit in the back of your throat to bathe it. Suck the fumes through your sinuses and also down into your lungs. Its all natural and healthy, so drink as much of it as you want or need until you are SURE the infection is gone. This is past the time when you “feel better.”
Substitutes:
- V8 Juice – tomato juice, vegetable juice, canned or fresh tomatoes crushed, tomato soup (if really desperate, try another kind of fruit juice, vegetable soup or even chicken soup . you’re aiming for high Vit C content)
- Garlic – garlic in olive oil, dehydrated garlic, garlic salt (aiming for the strong anti-bacterial/fungal effects)
- Lemon Juice – Fresh lemons, bottled juice, limes, lime juice, oranges, frozen lemonade
- Hot Sauce – ANY kind of hot sauce works, fresh hot peppers, cayenne pepper, dried pepper flakes (if really desperate, try horseradish, black pepper or even mustard . you’re aiming for the highly anti-bacterial/fungal properties of capricin which is found in hot peppers, and its effectiveness at clearing out the sinuses.)
Disclaimer: do not take this over your own doctors medical advise. Check out the internet and there was another website that I liked http://www.earthclinic.com.
