Tomato Tea
 

Add 4 cups tomato juice, 4 crushed garlic cloves, 1 tsp of cayenne pepper at least 45,000-90,000 H.U., 4 tsp. fresh lemon juice, and a pinch or two of pure sea salt for flavor. Heat ingredients and drink hot.
 

Horseradish
Start with 1/4 teaspoon of the freshly grated root of horseradish and hold it in your mouth until all the taste is gone. It will immediately start cutting the mucus loose from the sinuses to drain down the throat. This will relieve the pressure in your sinuses and help clear infection. Horseradish has been shown in laboratory tests to be antibiotic, active against a variety of bacteria, so this can benefit a sinus infection.
In combination with either remedy take 500 milligrams of vitamin C every 2 hours until infection disappears.
