Arrange a comfortable place to sit at a table and place a towel over your head then lean over the bowl as you inhale the healing herbal steam. I blend a formula called Aller-tea in tea or tincture that has helped eliminate sinus headaches and infections when taken on a regular basis. This formula contains three nurturing herbs, Alfalfa leaf, Chickweed, and Nettle leaf. Alfalfa leaf neutralizes blood acids that can lead to Nettles has natural antihistamine properties and can help eliminate post nasal drip. It is also high in chlorophyll and minerals soothing tired adrenals and easing stress.
Chickweed helps reduce mucous and has a cleansing action on the system.
Read about Earconing below for another treatment I often use for sinus headaches and allergies. Topically a couple drops of Saint John's wort oil or garlic oil on a cotton ball placed in the ear can often ease earache over night. Five drops in juice or water once or twice a day has helped many parents cope naturally with ear infections that young children go through. Along with 1 garlic capsule a day and 2 capsules of Spirulina powder sprinkled in apple sauce many children avoid the more invasive therapies of current medical practices. Earconing , also known as Earcandling, cleans toxins from the system and is helpful for sinus congestion and allergies.
