Natural Sinus Cures: Sinus Infections

Natural Cures Sinus Infections

We're looking for a natural sinus cure for sinuses that doesn't involved drugs. We want something that will address the cause, not the symptom. Natural cures sinus will solve the problem with any negative side effects. These side effects lead to more sickness, which is why we recommend only natural cures. Sinus infections are often dealt with by doctors by giving you sinus medicine, but that doesn't actually curing the problem, rather, they're just suppressing it. What we're looking for here is a homeopathic sinus infection cure and natural remedies sinus infections that have been proven and used for centuries; not the "wonder drug" of the year.

Natural Sinus Cure: Sinus Saline Solution

This is a very, very simple solution for your problem. It not only suppresses symptoms, but is a true natural cures sinus infections since it gets to the root of the homeopathic sinus infection and is a true natural sinus cure. This is is sometimes called a saline sinus flush or a saline sinus rinse and is one of many cures for sinuses.

Natural Sinus Cures: What You Need

• 8 oz Glass of lukewarm water, preferably distilled
• 1 teaspoon of salt, preferable natural, non-iodized sea salt

Sinus Saline Solution Procedure

• Mix salt in water until most of it is dissolved (Ideally it would all dissolve but if it doesn't it's fine. Taste the solution to make sure it's salty enough. It should taste exactly the same as the solution used in the saltwater colon cleanse.)
• Raise this cup as if you were drinking the water, but suck the sinus saline solution through your nose. Try to use at least half of the cup and spit the water out or let it fall back out through your nose
• Repeat every few hours as necessary.
• Do not swallow the solution

This natural cures sinus infections by killing germs and unclogging the sinuses. It should work much better than dangerous drugs.

Now I'm going to show you a video, but DON'T ADD ANY DRUGS TO THIS SOLUTION. Salt and water, and don't swallow it. This video mentions drugs. Ignore that part!

Which Water Should I Drink?

This article is basically part 2 of Chlorine in Tap Water: Is It Bad for You? That article convinces you of the dangers associated with drinking tap water that contains chlorine and fluoride. This article will just give you some simple alternatives.

Pitcher Water Filter (Examples: Brita Filter, PUR Filter)

Come on, do you think these small filters are going to remove all of the contaminants from our water? Isn't that what the city does for us anyway, and then add chlorine and fluoride? Well, that's what they say and these companies do claim that their filters dramatically reduce toxins in our drinking water. These filters are cheap, only $15 for three on Amazon and claim to last for 40 gallons. But, they don't remove everything. For the price, it's pretty economical, and it's definitely better than drinking tap water.

I don't use these filters. However, here's a bit of advice I should take: buy one as a back up to spring or distilled water. I drink distilled water that I buy at the store. What do I do when I run out? I drink tap water because I haven't bought a backup! Pretty dumb, huh?

A Sink Water Filter (Example: Culligan filter)

I fail to see how these filters can last 200 gallons and the pitcher filters only last 40. I fail to see how they can filter as good as the pictures when the water flows through them so quickly. Also, I would never like one of the big filters on my sink, but, as you can see, the Culligan filter I showed above is fairly small. (Read the Pure water filter review.)

However, don't take my skepticism as fact. I'm not a chemical researcher so I can't test this filtered water myself. As a backup to distilled water or spring water filtered before bottling, I'd say these filters are great. I should really take my own advice on this. Maybe I research the best and buy one soon. The best filter is the one you will use, and although I'll still buy my water, it will be a great backup. It'll be great to use for cooking!

A Home Water Filter (Example)

This would be a better idea than getting both a shower filter and a sink filter. Plus, your bathroom sinks would be clean too. However, how well do these work is the question. They don't claim to filter out as many pollutants as the at-point filters on your sink or showerhead. They don't even get some of the things that the pitchers get. They don't guarantee to get all of to the toxins out, but if they get 75% of them, they would be very useful. I just researched this as I plan to buy a filter (or kitchen and shower filters) for myself very soon. I want a backup for water to drink and a shower filter as well. This one full house filter could be a solution to both, but none of them seem very reliable.

Shower Filter (Examples: Culligan Filtered Showerhead)

I think this is very necessary. You are reported to inhale as much chlorine through one 15 minute shower as you do through a few glasses of tap water. The replacement filters for this Culligan Filter showerhead are rated at 10,000 gallons, and at 2.5 gallons per minute, if your shower is used 30 minutes a day, the filter will last you one year. You could put this in your shower, put a filter on your sink, then you'd reduce a lot of chlorine you are consuming. You'll still have to worry about the bath and bathroom faucets though. I like the whole-home filter better.

Distilled Water

This is what I drink. It is filtered through very expensive machines and is supposed to have the smallest traces of ANYTHING in it, therefore being the best for you.

Spring Water

Similar to distilled water, but contains minerals. I will drink this as well, but usually choose distilled.

Top Recommendations (amended after original post)

Whole house filters rid your water of certain contaminants, but not the chlorine. The chlorine is better removed by a shower filter and a pitcher type or sink filter. I'd say get a sink filter as well as a shower filter. If you click the links above you'll see that they're inexpensive.

Chlorine in Tap Water: Is It Bad for You?

Is It Bad to Drink Tap Water?

Is a question I'm often asked. The answer is, in a word, is yes. Filtered water, spring water, and distilled water are all better choices. Let's look at some problems of drinking tap water

Chlorine in Tap Water

Tap water in the US and many industrialized countries has chlorine added to it. Chlorine, though an element, is a chemical and not found naturally in any foods grown naturally or found in any water supply. Chlorine is indeed an ingredient in salt, which is found naturally, however, the chlorine is attached to sodium, in which case the compound is a solid, and is fine. Chlorine, by itself, however, is very dangerous and toxic to the human body. Chlorine is a gas and has a very low freezing point. There are several diseases linked directly the dietary intake of chlorine.

Let's look at what Wikipedia says about chlorine: "It has a disagreeable, suffocating odor that is detectable in concentrations as low as 1 ppm,^[1] and is choking and poisonous. Chlorine is a powerful oxidant and is used in bleaching and disinfectants." Is this what you want to put in your body?

Chlorine is also used as a chemical weapon and was used in the Iraq war. This is used in our water supply to kill bacteria and also used in our swimming pools. Since it's a gas, it evaporates slowly and more chlorine will need to be added to the pool. Would you drink a bottle of chlorine that you put in the pool? Of course not. Would you drink pool water? Of course not. So, why would you drink tap water that also has chlorine in it? Did you know that chlorine mixed with other elements creates one of the only acids that can disintegrate gold? Did you know that chlorine can attack and destroy metals left in a swimming pool? Did you indoor swimming pool roofs have collapsed because of the chlorine in the air?

Drinking chlorinated water won't kill you now, but it will lead to many thyroid, liver, lung, heart, and several other problems throughout the body. These problems can lead to obesity and disease. I drank tap water for over 30 years. When I was younger we had well water, so that was fine, and very healthy. However, when we got "city water" I started drinking chlorine. I will do so no longer unless in emergencies.

Another Silent Killer: Fluoride

Also, fluoride is in our tap water. Why? Well, since chlorine is in the water to kill the germs, someone had the bright idea to put fluoride in the water too? Why? It's allegedly good for our teeth. Consult a dentist on that one. I do believe it is good for teeth, however, I don't think it's necessary. Animals don't get cavities and they don't drink fluoride, so why do we need it? Well, excuse me for saying so, but it's because we eat crap. We eat too much sugar and drink too much tooth-dissolving chlorine (again, my opinion).

Recently, dentists are debating whether or not fluoride is actually good for your teeth or not. When the idea to put it in toothpaste was brought forth in the 1930s, the American Dental Association wouldn't stand behind it for over a decade! Why? They thought it was dangerous!

Conclusion

Now a days, these chemicals abound in our water supply, cleaning solutions and showers (which we breath the gas), our swimming pools, our toothpaste, and even in our Listerine (see the new Listerine Total Care with fluoride). Should you consume these chemicals? I wouldn't advise it and I avoid them myself most of the time. Do what you can and avoid them when possible. Buying jugs of filtered water would be a good start. I'm leery as to how much chlorine and fluoride these filters remove, though, so buy distilled or spring water. If you distill tap water though, it may still contain chlorine! There is no perfect solution. Just do as good as you can.

Buying water or using filtered water will reduce your chlorine and fluoride intake by 50-75%, or more (depending on what study you agree with). If you believe you need fluoride for your teeth, remember, it's in nearly all toothpastes anyway, so is that not enough?
