Answers:
Have you tried cayenne pepper yet.? As soon as I feel a sore throat or cold coming on, I start tanking up on cayenne. Well, not actually "tanking up" but I use it a lot. I also use it for relief of canker sores.

Another thing that is great for relieving the sinuses is garlic. You can buy it already chopped, or chop some yourself, and take a small amount of it on the end of a teaspoon - not too much at a time.

If you want more detail, e-mail me and I'll try to explain it better.Health Question & Answer

H-m-m-m. Colds don't usually last that long. Did it start out with a fever.? If not, maybe it's an allergy. I would try drinking Nettles tea or taking a 500mg nettles capsule about every 4 hours. It is great for allergies, helps colds too by drying the sinuses & is a good, safe mineral source.

If it really is a cold, take 3g (3,000mg) of vitamin C daily as a mineral ascorbate like Ester-C. Get extra rest. Drink extra fluids like juice, water, broth. also take 30 drops (1 dropper) liquid extract Echinacea purpurea (or angustifolia) root every 4 hours for about a week. That should help you kick it.Health Question & Answer

I use a Neti pot when I get congested like that. This is a device you can buy at any health store that will clean out your sinuses by rinsing them out with a medicinal salt. It flushes the bad stuff, like pollen and bacteria so you get over your cold/sinuses quicker. Health Question & Answer
