Seasonal allergies have kicked my butt for my entire life and it wasn’t until recently that I found an affordable natural treatment that clears my head without side effects.
I have tried so many treatments over the years that I began to forget which ones kind of worked and which ones never did.
I have been on allergy shots multiple times over the years and tried every spray and saline drip on the market. I have popped pills and stuck neti pots far into my nasal cavity. The results?
Allergy shots seemed to be the best long-term solution until you factor in the financial expense, the fact that I was sticking a needle in my arm every week, and the lack of support from the naturopathic community.
Joe Johnson Sinusitis Remedy
Last year, my wife Tessa was searching online for a natural cure for my recurring sinus infections. As sick as I was at the time I was open to anything she could find.
She stumbled upon a funny and passionate British man named Joe Johnson, who refers to himself as the Sinus Doctor.
Joe sells a 3-bottle combination of organic herbal extracts consisting of Cinnamon Leaf, Thyme, and Clove. The price seemed a little steep at $92 USD for the pack, but Joe insisted they would last for a long time.
The Treatment
Once the pack of extracts arrives and you are ready to begin, the treatment is quick and clean.
Heat up a small bowl of pure water to boiling. It’s probably fastest in the microwave, but you can use a stove-top as well.
Put 6 drops of each bottle into the now steaming water.
Put a towel over your head.
Stick your face over the steaming hot water and breathe in your nose and out of your mouth.
Have a box of Kleenex ready because you will be stopping frequently to clear your sinuses.
Repeat this process up to 6 times a day, as needed.
My Experience With the Extracts
It has now been just over a year since my wife and I ordered our first batch and we are just now ready to order our second supply.
Between the two of us, we have used this treatment frequently. It definitely surprised me how often we reached for the extracts, but both of us have allergy issues nearly year-round.
The process is painless and I always feel refreshed afterwards.
I would not call this a cure for anything, but it’s the most effective natural treatment I have ever seen.
Be Willing to Experiment
To my knowledge, there is no cure for allergies or sinusitis.
Your best bet is to have a super-healthy immune system and be willing to experiment with new treatments until you find something that works for you.
There is no doubt that my raw vegan diet, along with a daily dose of probiotics from kombucha, has made my allergy symptoms less severe.
At $87, the price might seem high at first, but it would cost me more for one visit to an allergist than it would to get a year’s supply of extracts from Joe.
