Using a Natural Antibacterial as a Sinusitis Treatment

Hi everybody, it’s another beautiful day in Colorado. It’s July, I was out with the dogs this morning, and I noticed that all the grasses were in bloom. I had sort of a rough week, you know, because let’s face it I have hay fever. I suffer from hay fever. But, as always, I use my trusty nasal irrigator, my neti pot.

If you are suffering a raging sinus infection, and I say raging because, well frankly, when I get a sinus infection they’re all raging…I’m sort of a wimp. I want to give you a couple tips of things you can do with a neti pot. Now last time I talked about using a little salt put a little salt in your water, use filtered water, before you actually irrigate your sinuses and wash out the pollen and things. More information can be found on my website.

I’m going to give you my #1 best tip today, and that is GSE. GSE stands for Grapefruit Seed Extract. This is a concentrated citrus extract that is very good in the homeopathic arena. It kills bacteria. Why is this of interest to us? Well, if you get a bacterial infection in your sinuses, you can irrigate your sinuses and you can wash things out of there, but you still have the bacteria in there. A little bit of GSE goes a long ways to killing the bacteria in your nose that you don’t want to have in there that’s causing the infection. Check out my NEW video on youTube!

So how does this work? I simply drop about 3 or 4 drops in my neti pot with my water. I like to fill it with filtered water, I have a filter on my water tap, and I use about as warm of water as I can stand…I don’t really want hot water, sort of luke warm. I’ll mix it up with my finger, and then wash my sinuses out. I tell you what, this works wonders, this is my #1 tip for sinus infections.
