Cold and Sinus Steam Bath
Sinus infection, also called acute sinusitis, causes inflammation and swelling around the cavities in your nasal passages. This hinders nasal drainage, causing mucus to build up. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 29.8 million adults were diagnosed with sinusitis in 2010. Sinus infections are often associated with colds.
Known as cider vinegar or ACV, is a type of vinegar made by crushing apples and squeezing out the liquid.
ACV has long been used as for its medicinal properties dating back to 400 B.C., when Hippocrates used it to treat his patients.
AVC is considered to be a potent remedy for illnesses and overall health.
Apple cider vinegar has antibacterial and antiviral properties which can help clear out sinus infections and colds.
In a bowl, mix the following:
- 1 cup of hot filtered water
- 2 Tbsps of organic apple cider vinegar
- Cover both you head and the bowl with a towel
Try to inhale the steam 8 to 10 times, 2 to 3 times a day.
