General regimen and The Water Cure. Wash as often as needed. If immediate decongestant action is necessary beyond these measures because of pain, use an ephedra product like Enzymatic Therapy SinuCheck short term only as needed. For chronic sinus infections, see Toxin Avoidance/Home, Solvents andFor one week, try to completely avoid dairy products and the next week completely avoid grain products and see if one (or both) of these dietary restrictions should be followed. There is also a regimen for Sinus Congestion that should also be read. Enzymatic Therapy SinuCheck was an excellent nasal decongestant with a low amount of ephedrine per tablet, which was all it needed since it also included a number of herb extracts which made it more effective and worked at a deeper level than a typical ephedrine product. This product was discontinued during the temporary ban of natural ephedra products in the US, which for some strange reason did not extend to the huge market of high dose over-the-counter ephedrine sinus and cold preparations which contained the same active ingredient.
Now the ban has been lifted and this product may be reintroduced. For the regimen, using high dose vitamin C (either ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate), and good antiseptics like oregano oil and olive leaf extract will speed results, but what is really important is to keep the nose cleaned out with nasal washes often. The Water Cure also helps since mucus secretions are thinned when the body has adequate hydration. Even excellent antibacterial and antifungal supplements like those recommended have a hard time combatting the problem when the mucous is so thick that the infection cannot be expelled. Decongestant supplements can be useful for temporary use to combat this symptom of sinus infection and if the infection is deep, can be more important than sinus washes. The quickest acting ones are liquid. An excellent, inexpensive one is Planetary Formula's Sinus Free. It contains horseradish, thyme, yarrow, and eyebright. Another is Dr. Christopher's Sinus Plus Formula, which contains brigham tea, marshmallow root, goldenseal, chaparral, burdock, and a few others.
It does not work as quickly as Sinus Free, but is deeper acting. New Chapter makes a good supplement called Sinus and Respiratory Formula which contains a good deal of antiseptic action along with deep acting decongestants.

It temporarily sank into oblivion and got replaced by numerous pharmaceuticals, but it’s again making its revival as a powerful herbal medicine. Empirical research has now proved what our ancestors intuitively already knew. When treating certain conditions, horseradish is just as effective as chemically-synthesized antibiotics and it can sometimes even be superior to over-the-counter drugs.
Horseradish is particularly potent in the treatment of sinusitis and it clears upper respiratory passages, which helps with cold, influenza and lung congestion. It is also an effective urinary tract infection healer. When used as a natural drug, it comes without any side effects. At the same time, it provides us with some distinct culinary enjoyment. Horseradish is a member of the Brassicaceae family, which also includes mustard, wasabi, broccoli, and cabbage. Vegetables from the mustard family are concentrated with glucosinolates that influence the metabolism of hormones and act in an anti-cancer way. Consumption of these vegetables has also been shown to lower the risk for prostate cancer. Horseradish contains mustard oil and the presence of allyl isothiocyanate gives it the antibacterial punch. Horseradish is also a powerhouse of vitamin C – raw, it contains 79.31 mg of vitamin C per 100g. It is high in many essential minerals and other health-promoting substances, including calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, glutamine, glucose, acid sulfate and essential oils.
Singrin, a very powerful glycoside, is found in horseradish, and it helps with water retention by stimulating the blood capillaries. It improves the blood flow and rejuvenates the circulation below and to the skin surface and can be used for skin treatments. A study conducted by a group of German scientists in 2006, looked at the efficacy of horseradish in the treatment of sinusitis, bronchitis and urinary tract infections. The participants were treated either with the nasturtium herb (nasturtium is a plant found in many gardens – leaves and flowers are known for their healing effects) and horseradish root or with standard antibiotic therapy. The results suggested that therapy with the herbal drug was as at least as effective as standard antibiotic treatment. Moreover, the group treated with the herbal drug required less supportive procedures and their treatment regimen was generally seen as safer compared to the use of the mainstream pharmaceuticals. Another study found that the recovery process was 40% faster when patients took horseradish instead of antibiotics.
The symptoms of infection were also less likely to reoccur. The latter is the main complaint about prescribed decongestants and mucolytics. They only suppress the symptoms, while aggravating the underlying causes. Horseradish works as a mild natural antibiotic. It helps your body get rid of the mucus, which, when stagnant, can become the breeding ground for bacteria that cause serious infections. Horseradish thins the mucus. This makes it easier to cough it out. Initially, the mucus production might increase. But this is in fact a good sign as it’s signaling that the body is cleansing. You just need to be patient for a day or two before you can start celebrating your win over that persistent cold (or even your sinus infection). It is recommended to take horseradish as soon as you start feeling the cold or sinus infection setting in.

Some use horseradish topically for arthritis pain and nerve irritation, and it has even been known to be effective with wound treatment. You can find more information on how to naturally treat arthritis in my post about the best natural remedies for arthritis.

It is important to consume horseradish fresh or it will lose its potency.
Also, it’s best to use it raw, as cooking destroys some of its beneficial substances and takes away its signature refreshingly spicy taste.

Did you know that ‘wasabi’ served in many sushi restaurants is in fact dyed horseradish?
