Clean your Sinuses.

Ok, You have to realize before you hear me tell you this that I am the furthest thing from a Liberal Hippie health food Wacko as you will find. That being said. Be warned this may be the weirdest thing you have ever heard.

I was 24 when I realized that my Horrible headaches were sinus migraines. Took sinus pain pills and they went away.

When they stopped working, the Doc put me on Clairiton. If I did not take these my brain would explode.

Ok, Now alot of us have been speaking of dust and the such. Alot of us burn wood inside. I have been burning for years now.

I tell you the truth now, I have stopped taking the sinus meds for 4 weeks now. I have not had any migraines since I have begun what I am about to tell you....

I started pouring warm sea salt water into my sinus cavity to clean it out. Just about everyone outside of th USA knows about this but I can attest to the fact that it works for me.

You can buy these at your local Hippie health food store. I mix 1/2 tsp of sea salt with 1/2 tsp of baking soda. I also make a tea out of dried peppermint leaves and flush all the carp out of your nasal cavity. You stick the small part into your nose, tilt your head over the sink and pour away. If your daring put a coffee filter over the drain to see all the lifetime of debris that will come out.

Ok, now the other weird cleaning thing you can do...
at the same store I bought these candles. they are hollow and thin. They are made out of beeswax.

Ok again this will freak your wife out....you stick the small end in your ear and light the other end with a match. Lay down so the candle goes straight up. The smoke goes down the tube and fills your ear. As the candle burns down it removes all the dirt and wax from the deepest parts of your ears. When the candle is finished you can cut it open and see all the junk that was once part of you.

"....As Seen on TV "

Next stop: Colon Cleansers:dizzy:

Now, here's what I do........:censored: :censored:
 
lol.

for real?

i get water up my nose swimming and i gag...let alone pour an alladin's lamp full of it up there.
 
The Nasal cleanse, and the ear canal cleanse are both great ideas.

But....
I think most folks at AS,
could use a good LIVER cleanse.

Am I Right ???

:cheers:

Those pots are called Neti Pots. I don't particularly like them. I use another method for sinus flushing. Do an internet search for "Neilmed". They have a bottle made for the purpose that you squeeze instead of using gravity like the Neti Pots do. I use a little more salt than that too... gives a good tingle and dries your sinuses better too..

I'm 100% positive there are no carp in my nasal cavity,bass maybe... :greenchainsaw:


Well the Bass were prolly chasing some of the spiders and mites that sneak into your nose while you are sleeping. The good thing about spiders living in your sinus cavity is that they eat all the mites and the sand jiggers.

Thats fine if you want to leave em in your nose, but pretty soon larger preditors will be after the spiders.

Same here...user of Neilmed "Sinus Rinse" for a few years now. Pre-measured balanced pH packets of salt mixed with warm water that doesn't burn a bit. Available at CVS, Rite Aid, etc. Good idea to clean the old sinus traps out once in awhile...

To all you guys that use this,
Does it help stop a runny nose ?

When cold weather comes along,
my nose seems run all the time when I'm outdoors.

I am gonna give this a try, regardless...

Thanks for the info.

Oh, man. If you could set up that thing to be a bed pan, you could take care of a couple of cleansing functions at the same time!!:jawdrop: :monkey:
 
Great thread......

I too suffer from sinus troubles so this is very applicable.

Recently had a CAT scan done of my head and found out 7 out of the 8 sinus are infected. No wonder I can't smell anything and have had hearing loss. :jawdrop:

I hate to admit it but I have used an old playset plastic tea kettle from my daughter which makes a great homemade medipot.

Is there a name for those candles? Or are they just hollow beeswax candles?
 
Um, I used an old funnel. My wife poured it in. LoL.

They may call em "Ear Candles"

I have a problem cleaning my dogs ears, (Shar Pei). I tried using the candles on the dog. Got a little out but not as much as came out of my head.

You have some pretty good ideas there . I also suffer from extreme sinus headaches once in a great while I have my own body/repair shop and it is hard tellin what is stuck up in my nasal cavity I know darn well my little finger aint gonna dig it out . I may try haywires idea of the squeeze bottle first i just dont now if i could handle pouring something down or is it up my nose but hey if someone is hurtin that bad they will try anything . I also like your idea of the wax candle trick im gonna try that one im 32yrs old and i cant hear worth a crap it gets embarasing asking some one to repeat themselves all the time . Thanks for the info:cheers:
 
I've done something similar to this for years now. My wife showed me how. You just make a saline solution out of table salt and warm water. Stick your nose in the cup and inhale slightly, just enough to get the solution to the back of your throat. It really does a good job of clearing up sinus infections.

I was told that the table salt is not cool man. The Iodine in table salt is like way bad to stick into your nose, man.
 
For the ears, Ive found Hydrogen Peroxide works really well. A couple drops in one ear at a time, let it boil for a couple minutes and then flush with water as hot as you can stand.

Had to have it done at the doctors once because I couldnt stand up without falling over. To this day I cant believe all the crap that came out of my ears and I was still able to hear.
 
Casey,

I used to do that too.

My wife is a clean freak. I told her to clean her ears as much as she could and I would stick a candle in her ear and see what comes out. She was going to vomit when she saw all the junk that came out. Get one of these ear candles and try it. I will blow your mind.
