Nature’s lesser-known sore throat home remedies
Sinus sufferers, have you ever wondered why mornings are particularly difficult for you? You find yourself noisily clearing your throat or cough repeatedly to relieve the thick lump of phlegm but do not seem to be able to “flush” it away. During the night, sinus sufferers usually breathe through their mouths and do not swallow or clear the mucus from their nose, thus accumulating the mucus drainage in the back of the throat and nose. This causes the irritating feeling of a lump in your throat which you will incessantly try to clear by coughing hard and loud and might sore your throat in the process.
Having a sore throat can be painful and uncomfortable. At the onset of a sore throat, drink plenty of fluids and gargle with hydrogen peroxide and water as this can stop it in its track. However, you can try these nature’s lesser-known sore throat home remedies which are simple and easy to prepare.
Cayenne pepper
It is used as an herbal supplement as it is high in Vitamin A, B6, E, C, riboflavin, potassium and manganese.
Mix 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper with 1 cup of boiling water. Drink this 3 times daily to stop sore throats and it is also very beneficial for colds. This beverage generates a feeling of warmth and improves the circulation. This remedy really works as the length of the illness is very much reduced.
Honey
Hippocrates made a special study of honey and used it in most of his natural treatments. He recommended it to his patients and took it every day of his life. Honey heats the body, cleanses sores and ulcers, relieves difficult breathing and acts as an expectorant which loosens phlegm.
This is one of the sore throat home remedies you can use at the first hint of a sore throat. Mix 2 tablespoons of honey, ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to 1 cup of warm water. Stir well and use the mixture as a gargle.
Cider Vinegar
Complaints know to react favorably to cider vinegar are migraine, runny noses, catarrh and sore throat.
Mix 2 cups vinegar with I cup of honey and drink this mixture 3 times daily or use 2 teaspoonfuls to a tumbler of water with meals three times daily and on rising first thing in the morning.
Cider vinegar is rich in potassium and very essential to soft body tissues as deficiency of this mineral can cause cells to shrink in size and lose their fluid and makes our nerves “all on edge” and we become over-excitable. Because of this health benefit, other than using cider vinegar as one of the sore throat home remedies, you can use it as a relaxant. When you are feeling irritable and fatigued due to your persistent sinus problems, prepare yourself an instant reviver by dissolving one calcium tablet in two teaspoonfuls of cider vinegar, add one teaspoonful of honey and stir together in water or juice.
These sore throat home remedies are not meant to take the place of your doctor but knowing how to use them is a preventive way of living.

Sinus Xrays? Deviated Septum? Polyps? Chance of tumors?
I’ve been having sinus problems for a month now. My doctor finally sent me for xrays on my sinuses. The technician told me this morning that my dr would have the results within 24 to 48 hours. My dr’s office said it normally takes 7 – 10 days unless they found something abnormal.
Well I’m starting to panic. My father has had a history of sinus problems. He’s had two nose operations. One to widen his nasal passage and to remove polyps, and the second was also to remove polyps. The dr said one side of my nose is narrower then the other and is blocked.
So I’m now worried about tumors or cancer. What are the chances on sinus cancer/tumors? Would this be deviated septum or polyps? Or is this likely inherited from my dad?
One side of my nose is plugged and I can’t breathe in through it, although I can breathe out of it. I’ve had sinus pain in my eyebrows, cheeks, and pressure around my eyes. I had an MRI and CT scan done last July and it didn’t find anything.

NeilMed Sinus Rinse – Does it work? Any danger in trying?
It says: DO NOT RINSE IF NASAL PASSAGE IS COMPLETELY BLOCKED OR IF YOU HAVE AN EAR INFECTION OR BLOCKED EARS. How do I know if my nasal passage is completely blocked. My nostrils are clear, but I have deep congestion on the right side of my sinuses (Behind eye, right side of nose).

my boyfriend had a sinius attack 2 days ago, he said his whole skull felt like it was constantly being smashed into a wall, his nose isn’t blocked and he can breath normaly. the phermecist prescribed Rinex Diffucaps which are for effective relief of cold and flu symptoms but are not for chronic sinuses. even if you know of any naturel remedies, it would help.
