Home-Made Citrus Tea!
Jana in Florida, USA -I cut up an orange and a lime, you can use a lemon if you want. ( wash them first and slice them, leave the rines on them), put it in a tea kettle with water, and let it boil. Once it starts boiling and is hot enough to drink add about 3 tbsp of bottled lemon juice, (also add a little sugar if you have a soar throat, it tends to sooth the throat). Pour yourself a cup and start drinking. Also this may sound crazy but bundle yourself up in a bunch of clothes, sweat pants, sweat shirt, thick socks and slippers and definatly a hat (told you it sounds nutz , but hey this really works) No matter what time of year it is do this and begin drink the tea, by sweatting this will help to push the illness out of the body and make you feel better quick! You may have to repeat drinking the tea a couple times a day for only one day tho, just make sure you drink the whole kettle of tea and Make sure you have a couple boxes of tissues close tho, you will def need them!!! THIS WORKs!!!

Lemon juice in your nostrils
Sofia in Bradenton, FL -It sounds painful and it is...but if you really want to get rid of a bad sinus infection, put 3 or 4 fresh lemon juice drops on each nostril, tilt your head back and let the juice reach your throat. It really works!

Sinus Rinse with GSE
Mammajenni in Florida -Use a NeilMed Sinus Rinse or Neti Pot (you can find both at a drug store) with the following solution:
1 tsp. non-iodized salt
1/2 pinch baking soda
5 drops of Grapefruit Seed Extract
(find GSE @ healthfood store)
Irrigate your sinus according to the instructions found on the Neti pot or NeilMed at LEAST 3x per day. more if you are able. Don't stop as soon as you are feeling better - continue on for 3 more days or up to 10 days total, to be sure you don't get a rebound infection, like finishing a course of antibiotics :)
If you have children, rinse your sinus in front of them so they see that is is no big deal. Even small children can use the Neil Med contraption with relative ease and it helps them get to sleep without a stuffy nose.

When I get a sinus infection I double up chocolate and beer. Since I feel terrible already, might as well just go for it...

Sinus Irrigation
Mike in CT, USA -2 cups warm water, 1 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp baking soda "inhaled" through a Neti pot every day. This keeps the mucus thin and cleans out inhaled dust, pollen, etc. After working in a dusty job (raking leaves, sawing wood...) I do this right away to avoid sinus problems. If nasal linings are swollen and breathing difficult, add ~1 tsp table sugar into the solution.
