Oregano Oil for Chronic Sinusitis

@ Sandra (Scotland)

Start with one drop of oregano oil in your neti-pot and increase to tolerance. Be sure to add salt and baking soda to your neti wash solution and mix til uniformed. I can't do over 3 drops per 8oz. neti wash.

Hi Sandra,

I also use a 300ml neti pot daily for clearing and disinfecting my nasal passages and nasopharanx region(area behind the nose and above the throat).

At different times, I have regularly and individually used the following for killing all manner of stubborn bacteria, fungus and viruses in my nasal passages and throat.

Using a 300ml neti pot filled with mineral water:

1.) 5% Lugol's Iodine -- 4 drops.

2.) Xylitol -- one teaspoon of powder.

3.) 3% Hydrogen Peroxide -- 6 drops.

I currently favor using just the 5% Lugol's Iodine for my own reasons, but the other methods also work well. I also always add sea salt(1%) to the neti pot solution, which helps to prevent a runny nose.

Another tactic I use if my sinus problems don't go away or keep coming back is to disinfect both ears with 1.5% hydrogen peroxide using a dropper. All manner of pathogens can exist and breed happily in the outer ear region, which is technically outside of your body, because the throat region can easily transport pathogens to the outer ear region via the Eustachian Tube(used for equalizing ear pressure). For both ears, I just tip my head over flat, squirt the HP into an ear with a dropper and wait a few minutes until all the "bubbling" in the ear stops. The "bubbling" occurs as the HP kills all the pathogens residing in your ear. It's very effective.
