| Combine equal parts of the tinctures of these herbs and take 1/2 tsp. of the combination 3 times a day. |
| A steam inhalant is also an effective technique for treating upper respiratory catarrh and sinusitis. In a bottle, mix 2 Tbs. of compound tincture of benzoin with 1/2 tsp, eucalyptus oil, 6 drops peppermint oil, 5 drops lavender oil and 5 drops pine oil. Shake well. Put a teaspoonful of this mixture in a bowl with 1 pint boiled water. Cover the head and the bowl with a towel or cloth and inhale. Be sure to keep your eyes closed to avoid irritation. |
| Certain foods, especially dairy produces and wheat, seem to predispose people toward sinusitis because they provoke excessive formation of mucus. During an acute attack of sinusitis all dairy and wheat-based foods must be excluded for several days, and people who have chronic or repeated attacks are advised to exclude these foods completely for several months, reintroducing them in very small amounts, if at all. Goat's and sheep's milk products are sometimes better tolerated than cow's milk. Acupuncture is a very effective therapy for sinusitis and can be used along with herbal therapy. |
