Folk remedies for sinusitis
- To facilitate nasal breathing, drops were always used. They are based on natural ingredients. To prepare the product, you will need to mix a teaspoon of honey, onion and potato juices. The resulting mixture is dripped four drops into each nasal passage three times a day.
- Honey. You can just as easily use regular liquid honey. Place a drop of the product into each nostril and inhale through your nose to draw it in. At first, you may experience a feeling of nasal congestion. True, it will soon disappear.
- Aloe juice. Drops based on aloe juice are no less effective for sinusitis. Fresh leaves of the plant must be peeled and the juice extracted from the pulp. The product must be mixed in boiled water in equal proportions. Treatment is carried out three times a day. Aloe juice can be replaced with Kalanchoe juice.
- Bay leaf. The folk method of treatment using bay leaves has proven itself well. To do this, you will need to pour boiling water over a couple of sheets and place the container with the contents on the fire. As soon as the broth boils, you should dip a napkin into it and then apply it to your forehead or the bridge of your nose.
- Horseradish. Healers often recommend treating sinusitis with horseradish. To do this, you need to wash, peel and grate the root of the plant. A third of a glass of the mixture is combined with the juice of three lemons. Take the product every day before meals. For medicinal purposes, it is enough to take half a teaspoon of the mixture. The duration of such treatment is 4 months.
- Paraffin. Paraffin therapy is considered the most accessible method of physiotherapeutic treatment. Experts in the field of traditional medicine recommend applying molten paraffin applications to the affected areas every day for just half an hour. This procedure is repeated for 10 days. It is worth saying that paraffin can be purchased at any nearest pharmacy kiosk. Its cost is quite reasonable, which allows us to call treatment of sinusitis at home with paraffin one of the optimal and affordable methods. Moreover, there are several ways to use this tool. Paraffin can be melted using a water bath, and then applied with a brush to the affected area of the nose. Another method involves wetting a cloth with melted paraffin, which will then need to be applied to the sore spot.
- Salt. Salt can be called a fairly effective remedy for sinusitis. Using this product as a component for heat compresses, it will be possible to relieve swelling and reduce the inflammatory process. Salt is poured into the bag, tied and placed in the microwave or in a frying pan to heat up. Then it will need to be applied to the sore area of the body. But it is worth understanding that such a procedure is indicated only in the case of sinusitis, which is at an early stage of development. If the disease is already advanced, warming the bridge of the nose will only aggravate the inflammatory process and contribute to the spread of infection to nearby tissues. This can lead to very serious complications, including meningitis.
- St. John's wort. This plant is used in traditional medicine to treat many ailments. This is easily explained by the healing properties of St. John's wort and its chemical composition. The presence of phytoncides allows for an antiseptic effect. St. John's wort can also be called a natural antibiotic, but it should not replace a course of antibacterial therapy. This herb can only act as an additional treatment for sinusitis. It is also worth noting the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of St. John's wort. The most effective way to combat sinusitis is considered to be rinsing the nose using a herbal decoction. To prepare it, take 1 tsp. St. John's wort, fill it with water (250 ml) and bring to a boil. Next, remove the product from the heat, cool to room temperature and rinse the nostrils. Repeat the procedure three times a day. Another remedy that has more powerful healing properties is St. John's wort oil. To prepare it, you will need 250 grams. dry herbs, pour half a liter of vegetable oil and leave to infuse for 14 days in a dark place. After two weeks, the product is filtered and used in the form of drops. 3 drops of St. John's wort oil are dripped into each nasal passage up to three times a day.
- Healing drops. Mix blue onion and potato juice in a container. Taking one part of each juice, combine it with one part of honey. All components are thoroughly mixed and dripped three times a day. It is better to use this remedy as soon as a runny nose appears. This will prevent the development of sinusitis.
- Propolis tincture. Wrap two matches in cotton wool and moisten them with tincture, and then immerse them in sunflower oil. Then the matches are inserted into the nasal openings, which should remain there for 30 minutes. The procedure is repeated up to four times a day. To enhance the therapeutic effect, before going to bed, the nasal mucosa should be lubricated with eucalyptus and thuja oil, and then honey should be instilled. As a rule, after such procedures in the morning you can observe a profuse discharge of purulent discharge, which contributes to rapid healing from sinusitis.
- Onion. A quarter of the onion should be chopped and wrapped in gauze. An onion pouch is applied to each nasal opening as you inhale. The procedure is repeated three times a day. You may experience a burning sensation in your nose at first. During the procedure, you can also massage the bridge of the nose along with the maxillary sinuses. This will enhance the discharge of purulent accumulations. By the tenth day of such treatment, not a trace of sinusitis will remain.
- Kalanchoe. The leaves of the plant are crushed, and the resulting mass is placed in the nose. Keep the remedy until sneezing occurs. The procedure is carried out 4 times a day. After a few days, the nose will be completely cleared of accumulated mucus.
- Garlic water. Chop a clove of garlic and pour cold water (100 ml) into it. Leave the product for more than an hour. I drip garlic water into each nasal passage, taking a horizontal position. This method of treating sinusitis helps to cope even with chronic sinusitis.
- Butter. This remedy helps soften the pus and remove it from the paranasal sinuses. At night, you need to put a small piece of oil the size of a pea into one nasal passage. The next night, a similar procedure is performed with the other nostril. In the morning the pain will disappear, and the pus will gradually come out of the maxillary sinuses.
- Onion oil. Fill the bottle with vegetable oil (50 ml) and send it to simmer in a water bath. You need to remove it from the heat five minutes after boiling. When the oil has cooled, begin preparing the product. To do this, take ½ teaspoon. oil and combine it with ½ teaspoon of onion juice. Five drops of the resulting product are dripped into each nasal opening every two hours. After this procedure, it is not recommended to blow your nose for 15 minutes. Before going to bed, drop a full pipette of pasteurized oil into each nostril, but without adding onion juice. After 7-14 days, sinusitis will completely disappear.
- Echinacea decoction. To prepare the product, you need to pour 1 teaspoon of echinacea with boiling water (250 ml). Infuse the decoction for 3 hours. Treatment is carried out in the morning and before bedtime after meals. Drink ½ cup of echinacea decoction. A repeat course is carried out after 6 months. This remedy allows you not only to cope with sinusitis, but also to strengthen your immune system.
Celandine belongs to the plant family Poppy. It is a herbaceous perennial plant that can range from 30 cm to 1 m in length.
In order to recognize it among the many herbs, you do not have to be a great botanist.
A distinctive feature of this herb, in addition to the bright yellow flowers, is the yellow-orange milky sap.
Of course, these are not all effective recipes using celandine to treat sinusitis. I would like to dwell separately on how to properly collect the plant. To treat sinusitis, flower stems cut at a height of about 10 cm from the ground are used. It is better to harvest it during flowering in late spring or summer. Adherents of the lunar calendar argue that it is necessary to collect it only when the moon is full.
Plants with bright, richly colored green leaves are used, preferably growing in the shade rather than in the sun. To prepare the juice, the plant mass is crushed manually or using a meat grinder. The ground celandine is kept in the refrigerator for 3 days to release even more juice.
When collecting celandine and squeezing the juice out of it, you must wear gloves! The fact is that it is very poisonous, for example, grazing animals never eat it. It’s not for nothing that controversy about this plant continues: is it poison or medicine? Probably both statements are true. After all, only the dose distinguishes a medicine from a poison. And you can overdose on celandine not only by ingestion, but also by external treatment, instillation and rinsing.
The alkaloids contained in this plant penetrate well through the skin and mucous membranes and are absorbed into the blood. When these substances enter the body in excess, the nervous system is affected - convulsions occur with loss of consciousness. Therefore, it is impossible to treat sinusitis with celandine if it is accompanied by epilepsy and mental disorders.
In addition, it is not recommended to use celandine for diseases of the cardiovascular system and unstable blood pressure numbers. Since this plant is a natural antibiotic, along with pathogenic microbes it also destroys the beneficial intestinal microflora. As a result, intestinal dysbiosis, digestive disorders, and constipation develop.
It is not recommended to treat sinusitis with celandine for pregnant and breastfeeding women and persons under 18 years of age. If any unwanted effects occur during treatment, you should consult a doctor.
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, which in 80% of cases is the result of a runny nose, cold or acute respiratory viral infection.
The properties of celandine in the treatment of nasal polyps
Celandine is a unique plant, all parts of which contain orange juice. The very name of the medicinal herb already indicates that celandine is effective for diseases of the skin. However, not only dermatological diseases can be treated with the help of this plant. In folk medicine, celandine is used for various neoplasms.
It contains alkaloids, flavonoids and saponids. Celandine contains essential oils, carotene, and B vitamins. Useful acids are succinic, malic and citric, which are also contained in celandine.
Thanks to this composition, celandine for nasal polyps has the following effect:
- Dissolves neoplasms.
- Eliminates inflammatory processes in the nasal cavities.
- Suppresses the growth and reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms.
- Reduces spasmodic conditions of smooth muscles and promotes pain relief.
Experts believe that if you are treated with celandine for one year, the polyps can resolve on their own.
However, despite such healing properties of celandine, the plant is considered poisonous.
Therefore, if you do not follow the rules for using the products, you can get severe poisoning from it. It must be remembered that the use of any alternative medicine must be approved by a specialist. Self-medication should not be done, as it can only worsen the problem.
Using a plant for polyps: methods and rules of use
In folk medicine, various recipes are used to treat polyps using celandine:
- An infusion of plant flowers. To rinse the nasal passages, use an infusion of celandine. To do this, pour a tablespoon of dry crushed plant into a cup of boiling water. The rinse medicine is then covered with a lid and allowed to sit for about an hour. After this, the infusion should be filtered. It is recommended to rinse the nasal passages with this infusion three times a day.
- Infusion of leaves and stems. A small spoon of raw material should be poured with boiling water (300 ml). Leave for about twenty minutes, then strain. A tampon made of gauze is moistened with the infusion. It is inserted for ten minutes, first into one nostril, then into the other. Such procedures should be done a week after a week for two months.
- A product made from plant juices. To prepare such a medicine, you need to squeeze the juice from celandine and chamomile in equal proportions. Then it is diluted with the same amount of water. This remedy must be instilled into the nasal passages. The instructions for using such drops are as follows: two to three drops of the medicine are dripped into one nostril twice a day. The treatment regimen is as follows: a week of treatment, a ten-day break, then repeating the procedure throughout the week.
- Oil drops. To prepare these drops, you first need to melt the butter using a water bath. For this oil, take four tablespoons. Add crushed St. John's wort to it in the amount of a teaspoon and mix thoroughly. Celandine juice is added five drops per teaspoon of a mixture of St. John's wort and oil. Nasal instillation of this medicine is carried out three times a day, a couple of drops in each nasal passage.
- Drops from plant sap. To prepare this remedy, you need to collect celandine while it is still blooming. The raw materials are crushed using a meat grinder, after which the juice is squeezed out. The liquid is poured into an opaque glass bottle and left for a week in a place out of direct sunlight. Periodically open the bottle to allow air to escape. After this, the juice must be diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio. You need to bury these drops in your nose every morning.
It is important to say that a remedy made from celandine and chamomile can be used to treat polyps. Patients who treated polyps with inhalations from decoctions of these plants noted a decrease in nasal polyps. The advantages of this method are also accessibility and safety.
When instilling nose drops and rinsing the nasal passages, it is important to carry out the procedure so that the product does not get into the throat.
Therefore, it is necessary to adhere to the rules. To rinse your nose correctly, you should tilt your head to the side. The liquid is poured into one nasal passage so that it flows out of the other nostril. After washing one nasal passage, the same action is performed with the other. After the procedure, to consolidate the therapeutic effect, you should not overcool or inhale cold air for two hours.
It is important to remember that most medicines, both pharmaceutical and folk, have some restrictions on their use.
Celandine is not allowed to be used in the treatment of polyps in the following cases:
- Hay fever (allergic reaction to pollen).
- Bronchial asthma.
- Mental illnesses.
- Angina pectoris.
- Epilepsy.
- Individual intolerance to celandine.
- It is not advisable to use celandine products when children are ill. This is explained by the fact that celandine is a poisonous plant and when rinsing the nose or instilling it, the product can enter the digestive organs.
- Celandine is best not treated for pregnant women, as well as mothers who are breastfeeding.

Side effects from celandine can be observed when the dosage of the drug is violated. Such reactions include:
- Vomit
- Nausea
- Abdominal pain
- Hallucinations
- Damage to the nervous system
At the slightest manifestation of such side effects, you need to contact a specialist.
Principles of treatment
If the anastomosis has undergone changes or there is an overgrown mucous membrane, then normal outflow of mucus in this case is impossible. Only the YAMIK catheter and antibacterial drugs will help alleviate the patient’s condition. If polyps are to blame, experts recommend getting rid of this cause.
Their removal today is absolutely painless. For these purposes, endoscopic equipment and a laser unit are used. But it is worth noting that the doctor can resort to such measures only after complete recovery from sinusitis. In case of exacerbation of the disease, the use of laser is strictly contraindicated.
Medicinal properties of celandine
It is thanks to this juice that celandine has become famous as an effective remedy in the treatment of many diseases.

The role of medicinal plants in eliminating benign and even some malignant tumors is well known. It is also used to treat inflammatory diseases of internal organs.
Since ancient times, celandine has been used for such an unpleasant and painful disease as sinusitis. Its effectiveness is due to the properties of celandine that contribute to a speedy recovery:

- Astringent and wound-healing actions that contribute to the restoration of the affected mucous membrane
- Antimicrobial properties - the plant is a natural antibiotic and destroys pathogenic bacteria

How to treat sinusitis at home: recipes from traditional medicine
To treat sinusitis with celandine, the milky juice of this plant is used, as well as herbal infusions, tinctures and decoctions. The drugs are used as nasal drops, for irrigation and rinsing of the nasal cavity. At the same time, medicinal nectar can be used both in isolated form and in various combinations with other natural healing agents. Below are examples of the most effective recipes using this herb:
- Freshly squeezed celandine juice, aloe juice and honey are mixed in equal quantities. The resulting mixture is used as drops to treat sinusitis. Alternately, 5 to 10 drops of this mixture are injected into each nostril daily, 3–5 times during the day. The duration of such treatment is at least 10 days. If drops get into the mouth through the nasopharynx, they should not be swallowed, but must be spat out.
- Celandine for sinusitis is also suitable for nasal rinsing. To do this, you need to take water warmed to room temperature (about 300 ml) into a bowl. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt and celandine juice in it. You need to immerse your nose in the resulting solution and draw the liquid inside. The mouth should be open. After the maximum amount of water has entered the nasal passages and sinuses, the solution is blown out. At the same time, along with water, mucus and pus are removed from the maxillary sinuses. The solution should not be swallowed. This procedure is carried out daily for 2 weeks. If necessary, the course of treatment is repeated, but not earlier than after a week.
- Celandine oil is useful for lubricating the nasal mucosa. To prepare it, freshly picked and crushed plants are poured with vegetable oil preheated in a water bath. The resulting product is infused in a warm place for about an hour. After this, the container with oil is placed in a cool place, where it remains for a week. Then everything is filtered through cheesecloth, additionally mixed with an equal amount of vegetable oil - and the product is ready. It must be shaken before use.
- To increase immunity, celandine is consumed orally in the form of a tincture. To prepare it, a half-liter container is half filled with grass, and vodka is poured on top. The product is infused for two weeks. Then it is filtered and further diluted with vodka in a ratio of 2:1 (with a larger proportion of vodka). The tincture is taken a few drops 3 times a day, half an hour before meals. Subsequently, the single dose can be increased to 1 teaspoon.
- For instillation into the nose, a mixture of plant juices and cyclamen is used. Before this, the extracted nectar is diluted 1:1 with alcohol, and then this additive is introduced (40% celandine with alcohol and 60% cyclamen juice).
During my service, at the training ground, I was caught with old sinusitis. Headache, runny nose and all other delights. The medical director had only alcohol and bleach tablets to treat me, but for some reason they did not help, and he tried unsuccessfully to treat me with alcohol.
- Why are you running around sniveling? You have medicine under your feet! Go into the forest, there are flowers growing there, it’s called cyclamen. Squeeze the juice and drop it into your nose, your sinusitis will go away in no time.
When it became completely unbearable, I got ready and went into the forest (luckily it was 100 meters from the tents) and picked up cyclamen. He pressed and pressed, but very little juice came out, and after stuffing it into his full nostrils, he lay down on the bed to heal.
- Oh, damn, I should have buried the ROOT JUICE! JUICE! ROOT!
The juice of that very root really helped me. Thank you, Comrade Nikitin)

Adenoids are pathological changes in the third tonsil - the pharyngeal tonsil. The problem is dangerous because it often strikes in childhood and can lead to serious impairment of respiratory and hearing functions. The problem is provoked by infectious diseases of the upper respiratory tract, and doctors sometimes note the influence of a hereditary factor. In most cases, the disease proceeds very slowly, without showing bright and intense symptoms, and it is extremely rare to see pathological growth visually. Depending on the complexity of the disease, various methods can be used, the most radical of which is surgery to remove the adenoids. For children, surgery of any kind is dangerous in itself, so parents always try to avoid this by resorting to various methods of external influence. Traditional medicine recipes are often used; the most popular remedy for adenoids in children is celandine. But does it really help and how to use it correctly? This is what we will try to find out.

In any case, if sinusitis occurs, treatment with folk remedies at home includes mandatory rinsing of the nasal passages. For such purposes, the patient will need:
- sea or table salt. To prepare the solution, you need to take a mug of cooled boiled water and add half a teaspoon of salt. It is best to use sea salt, as it affects the mucous membrane and does not cause a burning sensation. To achieve a greater effect, salt is mixed with soda in equal proportions. The procedure is performed using a rubber bulb up to six to seven times a day;
- infusion of chamomile, sage or calendula. To prepare a decoction, you need to choose to pour the mixture into a mug. Pour in hot liquid and let sit for twenty minutes. After this, the broth must be filtered and diluted with cool water. Washing should be done two to three times a day.
Experts advise rinsing the nose for sinusitis. This will prevent stagnation of mucous secretions in the sinuses and facilitate nasal breathing. For these purposes, doctors may suggest using a special catheter through which the medicinal solution enters the damaged sinuses. This is how the nasal mucosa is washed and disinfected.

To treat sinusitis and sinusitis, the milky juice of celandine, as well as infusions, tinctures and decoctions of this plant are used. Celandine can be used either alone or in combination with other natural and synthetic agents.
Here are several recipes using celandine in the treatment of sinusitis and sinusitis:
- Take one part each of celandine juice, aloe juice and honey. Mix all the ingredients and use the resulting mixture as drops to treat sinusitis and sinusitis. 5 to 10 drops should be administered into each nostril 3-5 times a day. As a rule, the duration of such treatment is at least 10 days. If drops get into your mouth when instilled, you should not swallow them, but you must spit them out.
- Celandine solution can be used to rinse the nose. To do this, take 300 ml of warm water and dissolve 1 teaspoon of table salt and celandine juice in it. Immerse your nose in this solution and draw the liquid inside (while keeping your mouth open). Then you need to blow the solution out. Along with the solution, mucus and pus also come out of the nasal cavity. Do not swallow the solution under any circumstances! This procedure must be carried out daily for 2 weeks. The course of treatment can be repeated, but not earlier than after a week.
- For sinusitis, sinusitis and other inflammatory diseases of the nasopharynx, it will be useful to lubricate the nasal mucosa with celandine oil. To prepare this oil, take a freshly harvested plant and add preheated vegetable oil. Place the mixture in a warm place and let it sit for 1 hour. After this, place the container in a cool, dark place for 1 week. Then you need to strain the oil and add another part of the vegetable oil to it. This oil should be shaken before use.
Treatment of celandine diseases of the nasopharynx and oral cavity
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the maxillary sinus that occurs during acute rhinitis or as a result of infectious diseases.
Celandine can also be used in the complex treatment of sinusitis. First of all, it is necessary to lubricate the nasal mucosa 2 times a day with ointment or oil prepared on the basis of celandine. A more radical remedy is to instill celandine juice into the nose 2 times a day (2 drops per nostril). The course of treatment lasts 3-5 days.
Additionally, traditional healers recommend taking celandine alcohol tincture 1 teaspoon 2-3 times a day 30 minutes before meals. The duration of treatment is 7 days. As an aid in the summer, you can also use compresses from scalded with boiling water and cooled celandine leaves, which are applied to both sides of the nose for 10-15 minutes.

Adenoids
In the complex treatment of adenoids (that is, in combination with treatment prescribed by a doctor), you can instill an infusion of celandine into the nose, prepared at the rate of 1 tablespoon per glass of boiling water. You should drip 3-5-7 drops (the younger the child, the fewer drops). Drop twice a day, three times each time with five-minute breaks.
Celandine juice is used in the treatment of severe inflammation of the adenoids, tonsillitis, sinusitis, and diseases of the frontal sinuses.
The following method of treating adenoids with celandine should be used only in severe cases when the adenoids completely block the nose.
This is not difficult to determine: if a child breathes through his mouth all the time and cannot breathe through his nose, then he has a severe degree; If he cannot breathe through his nose only at night, when he takes a horizontal position, then it is better to refrain from this method. An additional symptom in favor of this method is night snoring.
Now about the method itself. During the flowering of celandine, take the whole plant (leaves, stems, flowers, roots), pass everything through a meat grinder, filter through gauze folded in half, place everything in a jar and place it for fermentation in a place protected from direct sunlight.
When fermentation ends (this will happen in 2-3 weeks), filter thoroughly.
The resulting mixture should be dripped into the nose twice a day (in a lying position). If the child is under 5 years old, then you should limit yourself to 2 drops in each nostril; an older child can drip from 3 to 5 drops. Treatment period is 2 weeks. After a 2-3 week break, repeat the course.
If a burning sensation occurs during instillation, it is not scary, it goes away quickly.
This method can be used independently, but it is advisable to use it in combination with other means: rinsing, nasal instillation with vasodilators, etc.

Nasal polyps
Prepare an infusion of celandine, let it cool slightly. Suck through the nose using a straw, rinsing the nasopharynx, do not swallow the water, spit. You need to do 5 washes at a time. It is advisable to carry out the procedure several times a day.
Celandine has proven itself well in the treatment of periodontal disease. To do this, it is recommended to lubricate inflamed gums with celandine juice for several days. You can also apply a swab moistened with celandine juice to the gums for 10 minutes once a day.
However, it is better to use another, more “gentle” method. To do this, take: tincture of 30% celandine - 1 part, glycerin or olive, sunflower, corn oil - 2 parts.
Mix everything well and apply the mixture to the gums and gum pockets for 15 minutes.

Gingivitis
For the treatment and prevention of gingivitis, it is recommended that after brushing your teeth in the morning, rinse your mouth with a decoction of celandine, and also massage your gums with oil prepared on its basis.
The following mixture helps with bleeding gums: celandine herb - 1 part, calendula herb - 1 part.
An infusion is prepared from the mixture at the rate of 1 teaspoon of the mixture per glass of boiling water. Leave the infusion for 4 hours, strain. Rinse your mouth 2 times a day for a week.
Celandine helps relieve toothache. To do this, take gauze, moisten it with warm (almost hot) infusion or decoction of celandine, and then apply it to the cheek for 5 minutes.
The procedure is repeated every 30 minutes until relief occurs.
In addition, after the compress, you should rinse your mouth with warm water, to which a small amount of salt and a few drops of celandine tincture and calendula tincture are added.
The gum of a sore tooth can be rubbed with celandine oil, and crushed leaves of the plant can also be applied to the base of the sore tooth.
