In that same vein, the next time you or anyone you know has a problem with colds or sinus infection?
Get thee to a health food supplement shop or department and pick up ‘Olive Leaf Extract’ (comes in 500 mg capsules).
Start taking that stuff 1000 mg at a time, morning noon and night and it will clean up your sinus and you’ll be rid of that bug inside of 3 or 4 days, count on it.
Ewwww, echinacea anr/or vitamin C (immune system stimulants) sage (makes you sweat) and salt (gargle with it last thing you do at night before going to bed, the nasal and ear canals are connected to your throat and vice versa, NOTHING lives through a good salt water gargle. Best if you do it two to three times a day, but NOBODY I know (especially me) is willing to cut the coffee out in order to let the salt water work in the morning, and few are willing to give up the midday boost. Over the years, I’ve found that nighttime - you can get up and get a glass of water a few hours later - is the most efficacious time to gargle with salt water.
Old herbalist’s staple, salt water. Ask your family doctor. If he doesn’t know what salt water is good for, he’s not worth having as a family doctor.
