Onions<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Onions make you cry for a reason. It\u2019s because they contain lots of sulfur, and that sulfur acts as a natural antibacterial. While simply inhaling the scent of an onion may irritate your eyes, it can also fight a sinus infection quickly.<\/p>\n
METHOD<\/strong>: Cut an onion into small pieces and put the pieces into a small pot of boiling water. Allow them to boil for at least 5 minutes. Pour the liquid into a bowl or mug and inhale it deeply for 5 to 10 minutes. You may also drink the mixture while it\u2019s hot if you can stand the taste and temperature.<\/p>\n

Horseradish<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Horseradish is good for more than just a sandwich condiment. It\u2019s actually an effective cure for a sinus infection. When inhaled or ingested, the active chemicals in horseradish travel up the sinuses and dissolves mucous instantly.<\/p>\n
METHOD:<\/strong> Grate horseradish and put it in your mouth. Let it sit on your tongue for a few minutes. When the flavors are evaporated by your saliva, swallow. This method will also clear any excess mucous in the throat.<\/p>\n

Apple Cider Vinegar<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Apple cider vinegar is helpful for all types of infections including sinusitis. When used regularly, this natural substance can clear a sinus infection in as little as 2 days. While it might not taste the greatest, it\u2019s surely better than suffering from a painful sinus infection.<\/p>\n
METHOD<\/strong>: Take 1 tsp. of apple cider vinegar three times per day, preferably heated.<\/p>\n
