Cinnamon, Clove, and Thyme Essential Oils Knock Out Sinus Infections

If you put three to five drops of all three essential oils in about an inch of water in a pan. Put the pan on the stove and turn it on low so that it is hot, but not so hot the steam will burn you.
Take a towel and drape it over your head, and breathe in the steam for three to five minutes.
Do this procedure three to five times a day for at least a week, or until the infection is gone.
This home remedy will work for sinus infections and bronchitis. I've used it for both. It will even help with ear-ache if it is caused by colds, bronchitis or sinus infections.
After the infection is gone, if you'll do the treatment at least once a week, you should be able to avoid recurrence of the infections. The essential oils have anti-biotic properties, but they won't go into your blood stream.
I got this from a site on the internet called Sinus Doctor. He charged close to a hundred dollars for about a fluid ounce of the three herbs. The Cinnamon is called "Cinnamon Leaf Extract" and all three are labeled as "concentrated organic", but I suspect you could buy them from any health food store and get about the same results.
To me it was worth the money though because it has definitely ended sinus infections for me, and the oral antibiotics never worked well at getting rid of the infection, and they messed up my digestive system.
