Cayenne for Sinus Infection - The Spicy Solution

This has now become my favorite natural remedy for sinus infections!! My sinus infections are always so terribly painful that my teeth hurt...I woke up and knew I'd have to get on antibiotics if I didn't do something drastic so I snorted (as best as you can with both nasal passages clogged) cayenne pepper - not a huge amount, less than 1/8 teaspoon on the tip of my pinkie...it burns, yes, but I noticed almost immediate relief with breathing and pressure. Ten min. later and the burning sensation has dissipated (now it has a menthol type feeling) but the pressure/pain is completely gone. WORTH IT!!!!!

Cayenne Pepper: Yes, this truly works!!!! I have chronic sinus problems. I tried the pepper, by snorting it, and within minutes it worked. I then put a 1/2 teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper in my green tea, and I was amazed the power of pepper! I didnt have to go to the doctor. We need to put this in cans. it works!

cayenne snorting: This crap works! Immediate relief. Lots of blowing the nose after, particularly if you don't manage to sneeze. Huge globs of infection came out after I tried this. However, I think I used too much cayenne. I would suggest using 2 lines, each one just one quarter to one sixth the size of your pinky fingernail (width and length). Anyway, great remedy if you have eyes you can't even move around anymore because there is so much pressure behind them causing pain.

I found cayenne a great cure for pretty much everything some time ago. It wasnt long ago that I came down with a bad sinus infection, cough, and fatigue. I decided to boil water on the stove, and add cayenne(open 3 capsules and pour them in), crushed garlic(4 cloves),half an onion, and grated ginger. THIS COMBINATION IS AMAZING. It is SO powerful. The most vital ingredients are the cayenne and garlic, but the onion and ginger are also very helpful. Make sure and boil everything until the onion is mushy, and the garlic is too. Keep a lid on, but every so often inhale the steam from the boiling remedy.. very soothing! Pour it into a glass and drink the whole thing. It is very potent, so what I do is add honey to it and it really tastes like liquid food- like a soup base or something.

Another remedy that I use is cayenne tea- just put a tea bag of your favorite tea in boiling water, and add a capsule of cayenne & some honey. Since I have been using cayenne in tea, and orally, and drinking the onion ginger garlic tincture, I rarely get sick.. and when I do, I can kick it within 3 days maximum. Cayenne is also extremely helpful for menstrual cramps.

I drank a mixture of lemon water cayenne pepper and syrup within a few hours not only was my sinus clear but so was my chest and I could breath much better.

I did not inhale it, I put it in neti pot mixed w warm water which is very safe …

Can you share your recipe for making a cayenne pepper nasal spray? I can't seem to get any recipe other than someone saying a pinch in water.

I have been getting sinus pain for about 6 months... Tons of pressure between my eyes, forehead, cheeks, ears, and the back of my head. I would even get pain on my jaw and the back of my neck. At times my head felt like a bowling ball. Neti pot gives me temporary relief and works best for me when done a few times a week. I tried the cayenne (a tiny dab of the powder at a time so only a few specks were on the q-tip (I was scared to do a big bump) next thing you know I did it 5 times!!! I had so much mucus come out that I did not know was there. No wonder I have had so much pain. I am going to do it again tomorrow and then probably like once or twice a week until it's completely gone. Oh btw... I definitely teared, coughed, and sneezed like other folks on here. Prepare mentally! :)

So is it OK to do this more than once? I have been using cayanne drops diluted with water and a qtip. I havent noticed any mucus or anything coming out. I do notice that one nostril I cant put it up very far. There is a blockage or something. Thoughts??

I had sinus pressure for a couple of weeks every night i would start feeling worse around 6:30 then the drainage and drippy throat, even when i get antibiotics from the doctor it dont seem to go away for a couple months, so i checked a remedy book, 1 sugeestion was garlic, so i got some this morning, ate a clove still tasting it, went online to make sure i took it right, when i read about sniffing cayenne, told my daughter about it she said she wanted to try. She said burned a little, I tried with a larger dose a my pinky, did both sides real quick. it burns and still feels hot now about 12 minutes ago, but i am breathing clear out of both nostrills, dont get worked up thinking about it.

I recommend, will see what happens later or a couple of days and let you know the results.
