Be honest.

You're sick of using antibiotics for your sinus infection.

What if you could stop this inflammation naturally?

When I was young, I had about 10 rounds of antibiotics for a sinus infection. Let's stop the madness!

The truth?

When you learn how to heal your gut - you won't have to worry about sinus infections anymore.

But don't forget. Your diet is always first.

The first food I would remove would be dairy if you struggle with consistent sinus infections.

Signs of Sinusitis

What are the symptoms of a sinus infection?

A headache or heavy feeling in the head (sometimes with difficulty concentrating)
Nasal congestion or nasal discharge
Post-nasal drip (mucus dripping down the back of the throat)
A sore throat (mucus dripping down can cause chronic irritation)
A cough - wet or dry and usually all day
Fatigue
Bad breath
Moderate to high fever

So what's the answer?

In this post, I'll share the 4 steps I use to stop a sinus infection in its tracts!

#1 Diet & Inflammation

Gluten, dairy, and sugar are common allergens that cause sinus infections.
- Eliminate these foods from your diet if you experience frequent sinus infections. If I was to choose just one, I'd get rid of dairy ASAP.
- Encourage lots of green vegetables & soups when you are under the weather.
- Drink clear liquids and caffeine-free tea.
- Consider adding a probiotic to your diet and healing your gut with The 4R approach.
- Add natural antibiotics. Garlic is the best antibiotic available.
Make garlic toast!
- Toast some gluten-free bread and top with Organic Olive oil and sliced raw garlic.
- Fresh garlic is known as an antimicrobial to aid with infections.
- Eat daily until you are better.
- Garlic is a great anti-microbial and can fight viral and bacterial infections. Eat garlic raw if able, or mix with hot water and lemon for a garlic lemonade
Recurring sinus infections could be due to your gut health.

#2 Tinctures For A Sinus Infection

Take Echinacea tincture For 7-10 days.
- Dosing: Take 30-40 drops 3-4x a day in a little bit of water.
- Echinacea acts as an anti-microbial.
