Has anyone heard of boiling ginger root in water and inhaling the steam to relieve sinus congestion?

Hi, I have heard of this. Ginger can be used for many ailments including sinus congestion. You can also try eating some candied ginger for your congestion or drinking some ginger tea. I learned of ginger’s medicinal applications in massage school and have recommended it often. People have been using ginger for an upset stomach for years but many of them have no clue about all the other uses of ginger. Thank God for ginger!! Sorry never heard of that one, but if you have problems with sinus then get yourself a bottle of ‘Echinacea’ One tablet and your sinus’ are cleared for days. You can buy the little black pills at the drugstore.

Truth is, just the steam will make a major improvement.In addition is a product called xylotol that is used in a spray called Xlear.Good luck

Yes it works well. Even better when combined with tea tree oil and some eucalyptus as they are antiseptic and disperse mucus through the heat of the steam.Craig – Naturopath
