5 Favorite Herbs for Sinus Infection

Sinus infections are painful and often scary because they can make it difficult to breathe. Many people quickly get antibiotics for this condition, and while that is in no way wrong and may be necessary at times, sinusitis can often be treated with herbal remedies. 

 

Sajah Popham from The School of Evolutionary Herbalism tells the story of how he used herbal neti pots to treat his own sinus infection that wasn't responding to systemic herbal treatment. Instead of using a simple saline solution, he added specific herbs, experienced a swift turnaround in his symptoms, cleared the infection, and avoided antibiotics.

 

Sajah explains that the key to treating sinusitis lies in the herbs you choose and in delivering them topically to the tissues that need them. 

Here's what you'll learn:

• The five herbs that worked for me and why I chose them

• Why whole herbs are better than isolated compounds

• The conundrum of the antimicrobial action: making sense of the terms antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal, and how to use antimicrobial herbs

• How to prepare and use medicated neti pots and nasal sprays

• Substitutions for harder-to-procure and at-risk herbs
