Recipe:Tomato Tea Cures

Spicy Tomato Tea: The #1 Remedy To Cure Severe Sinus Congestion

Writes Jean, "After drinking this tea hot, your sinus congestion will disappear REAL fast! All these ingredients not only work on the immediate symptoms, but also add vitamin C to fight a cold and garlic to fight infection."

Add 1 cup tomato juice, 1 tsp chopped fresh garlic, 1/2 tsp of hot sauce, 1 tsp lemon juice, and a pinch or two of celery salt for flavor. Heat ingredients and drink hot.

6/8/2006: Jean writes us again: "Really delighted that the tomato recipe is working so well for so many people. :) The reason I picked these ingredients is this: tomato and lemon juices for their high vitamin C content, hot sauce for its ability to clear out the sinuses, and garlic for its anti-bacterial qualities. In addition, all of these ingredients have many other properties that are extremely good for the body's ability to heal itself. If you also add worcestershire sauce and celery salt, you have a bloody mary without the vodka! :) The reason for heating it is obvious... the fumes from the hot sauce work their way farther into your sinuses, carrying the fumes of the anti-bacterial garlic with it. I drink this even when I'm not sick, as I love the taste. :)"

11/7/2006: Jean writes: "Amended for greater effectiveness: The first 4 ingredients are well-known serious herbals for their medicinal properties... Used together they can do wonders for sinus/ear infections, colds, coughing and sore throat. I've even found it to kill flu germs.

2 cups tomato or V8 juice
1 tablespoon fresh garlic
As much hot sauce or cayenne pepper as you can stand
1 tablespoon lemon juice

VERY IMPORTANT: Drink it HOT and SIP ... This sends the bacteria killing fumes into your sinus passages.

Note: Adding celery salt and a dash of worcestershire sauce make it taste like a bloody mary.

Three mistakes I'm seeing in the people who say it didn't work very well...

1. Get as close to the ingredients listed as possible... When you feel better, go buy the real thing. It WILL make a difference.

2. Drink as much as you can as often as you can until you are SURE the infection is gone. This is past the time when you "feel better."

3. Drink it HOT and SLOWLY, so you get those fumes going up into your sinuses. This mix is highly anti-bacterial and will KILL the infection.

Let me recount a story of my own from last year. My own 17 year old son didn't believe this would help and doesn't care much for tomato juice, so he didn't want to give this a chance. For about 7 months, he had my ex-husband continually running him back and forth to the doctor for one antibiotic after another and a host of other medicines trying to get rid of chronic sinus/ear infections. He was miserable. It just kept coming back. He finally decided to give my tomato tea an honest test. Within a week of using it regularly and sipping it HOT, the infections were gone totally, and haven't returned. That was about 8 months ago.

Tomato and lemon juices for their high vit C, hot sauce and garlic to clear out the sinuses and kill the obnoxious bacteria. These ingredients have many other properties extremely good for the body's ability to heal itself. The reason for heating is obvious... the fumes work their way up into the sinuses, carrying the germ-killing fumes with it.

I drink this even when I'm not sick, as I love the taste. Really delighted that the tomato recipe is working so well for so many people. :)

Oh one more thing to add... Drinking this tomato tea regularly when NOT sick, will kill the germs before they can make you sick!"

Answer 2

Try the Simillasin nasal spray for allergies or sinusitis. It is gentle, but effective. My doctor told me in the late 80's that I had allergic sinus responses to change in temperatures, humidity as well as any perfume, dust, pollen, etc. He left me no hope of improvement. I found Simillasin at the supermarket and tried it (I have tried so much other stuff) and it is the only thing that has really worked. You use is as often as necessary at first. Once it is working you kind of taper off. I still use it some days, but weeks go by and I don't even think about it. It's safe when you're pregnant too. I even used to use a neti pot and run salt water through my sinuses all the time. Yuk!

Answer 3

Sinus irrigation. Use 1 cup tepid water add 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp baking soda use a sinus irrigator (can usually find them in baby isle, they are like a squeeze bulb with a tip for your nostril) squirt the water in one nostril and let it run out the other (if you are too clogged for that, squirt it in and blow it out) keep doing this until you are clear. You can safely repeat this as many times as you need per day. Keep cleaning the bulb with alcohol between uses so you do not spread the infection (let it dry, do not let alcohol in your nose)

Answer 4

Please cease pharmaceuticals. None of them will help the bably. To clear sinus- Nasal lavage (its French) a pinch of salt in 1/2 cup warm (body temp) water. Sniff it up your nose (with your head over the sink). Get a cool mist humidifier, and add a pint of hydrogen peroxide to the gallon tank. Run that near your bed while you sleep. If you have digestive upset, you can take charcoal. I use a heaping teaspoon of powder, in a pint jar mostly full of water. Put a good lid on it and shake it, then drink it. If it is too scratchy, you can let it set a little, and then drink it.
