What products would be good for chronic sinus pressure/infections? Also, I had a baby 7 months ago.
Q. What products would be good for chronic sinus pressure/infections? Also, I had a baby 7 months ago.

A. Since chronic sinus infections are usually a result of bacterial, fungal, or viral infections which are lodged in the sinuses and become inflamed from time to time, I recommend treating not just the inflammation, but also the root cause—which is the chronic infection/immune deficiency. Most often, I find chronic yeast (a fungus) to be responsible for sinus infections. I've outlined some nutritional/herbal/homeopathic recommendations below to help.

To reestablish a healthier systemic microbial balance & improve immune function, take:
  1. HMF Probiotics by Genestra — I suggest an increased dose of 1 TBS daily Super Powder to help overcrowd the bad microbes.
  2. Allisyn Garlic — this is a powerful antifungal & microbial—it will help kill yeast and improve immune function. Take 1 cap with each meal, total of 2-3 daily. You may experience some 'die off' which is the result of killing yeast/bacteria in your system. It can cause a temporary worsening of symptoms. You can support/prevent this by beginning with just 1 cap of Allisyn per day for the first 3-5 days, then increase to 2 and so on.
  3. EC+ Immune Complex and/or HTYP Thymus Drops — these support your immune system, in order to fight the infection more effectively.

  4. Homeopathic Treatments
  5. Unda 710—This remedy is specific for inflammatory conditions of the skin and respiratory systems and is indicated for conditions such as sinusitis, acne, shingles and acute or sub-acute inflammatory conditions.
  6. Pyrogenium Plex—Pyrogenium Plex contains a specific combination of synergistic homeopathic remedies known for their antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties to help relieve symptoms associated with congestion in the upper respiratory tract, specifically the nasal cavity and sinuses.

Other options which are helpful for sinus infections:

Lifestyle

Be sure to support your immune health with a low sugar, low-no dairy diet, adequate protein and vegetables, extra rest, water, light exercise, & stress reduction.
