Spicy Tomato Tea: The #1 Remedy To Cure Severe Sinus Congestion
7/16/2007: Jean Woolhiser (JeannieW[@]gmail.com) from Franklin, WI writes: "PLEASE, PLEASE. REPLACE ALL THE OLD TEXT about the tomato tea with the following text as its much more concise and has been refined. Thank you! :)
I first sent in this recipe in 2002, I think. I've been studying people's comments on it and have revised it accordingly. Email me at JeannieW[@]gmail.com if you have questions. Thank you to everyone who has posted their comments. It really makes my day (and makes me cry! :) when I read how this recipe is helping others!
It works fast (in most cases) and tastes great! These ingredients are well-known serious herbals for their medicinal properties... Used together they do wonders for sinus/ear infections, colds, coughing and sore throat. We've even found it to kill flu germs and strep throat (with no antibiotics).
TOMATO TEA RECIPE
2 cups V8 Juice
2-3 cloves Garlic crushed (use more if you can)
2 T Lemon Juice
Hot Sauce (the more the better, so as much as you can handle)
Mix and heat in a pan or in the microwave. Sip slowly and re-warm as needed to get the full effects of the fumes. Let it sit in the back of your throat to bathe it. Suck the fumes through your sinuses and also down into your lungs. Its all natural and healthy, so drink as much of it as you want or need until you are SURE the infection is gone. This is past the time when you "feel better."
This appears to be the best recipe, but from the comments, people often don't have the right ingredients. Don't let that hold you back. Use whatever you have available. Below are some substitutes that may not work as well or as fast, but will still help. I've listed them by their likely effectiveness:
Substitutes:
V8 Juice - tomato juice, vegetable juice, canned or fresh tomatoes crushed, tomato soup (if really desperate, try another kind of fruit juice, vegetable soup or even chicken soup . you're aiming for high Vit C content)
Garlic - garlic in olive oil, dehydrated garlic, garlic salt (aiming for the strong anti-bacterial/fungal effects)
Lemon Juice - Fresh lemons, bottled juice, limes, lime juice, oranges, frozen lemonade
Hot Sauce - ANY kind of hot sauce works, fresh hot peppers, cayenne pepper, dried pepper flakes (if really desperate, try horseradish, black pepper or even mustard . you're aiming for the highly anti-bacterial/fungal properties of capricin which is found in hot peppers, and its effectiveness at clearing out the sinuses.)
Notes:
1. Capricin (found in hot peppers) is actually soothing to the stomach. In addition, it's a pain killer (good for sore throats), and is also one of the main ingredients used in herbal recipes for killing fungal infections like Candida, which is closely related to all kinds of physical problems we have, including allergies.

Interesting fungus killing pages: http://www.mall-net.com/mcs/afung.html http://www.mall-net.com/mcs/#Treat.
2. You can add Worcestershire sauce and celery salt to make it taste just like a bloody mary mix.
3. Drink it just because it tastes good, and you probably won't get an infection in the first place. :)"
UPDATE:
07/19/2008: JeanW (JeannieW@gmail.com) from Franklin, WI writes: "I've seen a number of nays on the tomato tea remedy where people say it helps for a while and then they get congested again. As one person mentioned, and its a very good point, you may have nasal polyps and the only thing that will help that is to have them removed.
However, I believe there are some other possibilities here. The nasal passages are fairly large. If you're becoming re-congested, it may be that its mucous moving down from another area of the nasal passages. Give it time, they will clear out.
Also, when your body is trying to get rid of an infection, it works extra hard at it. Its possible your body is creating more mucous to isolate the offending germs and push them out.
Some people think that one or a couple drinks will do the trick, and in many cases, that's been true as you can see from the testimonials. Others its taken a few hours or even days.
But think about it... the germs are running around all over your body, your immunity is down or you wouldn't have the infection in the first place. It may take some time... everyone is different. This remedy will build up your immune system, and in most cases, deals with the symptoms in a very short time. There is no limit to the amount you can have in a day... this isn't a pharmaceutical drug. These are natural ingredients... drink as much as you want as often as you want!"
ADDITIONAL RECIPE
6/21/2007: Wendi from FtWayne, Indiana writes: "I came across an article on Tomato Tea (particularly for sinus infection). It really does work ! We have been using a similiar recipe for 20 years . The recipe we have always used is as follows:
Simmer
1 can/jug of V8
2 cloves of GARLIC
2 LEMONS juiced
2 tbsp HONEY
pinch of CAYENNE
Tips :
* African Cayenne if you can find it
* Fresh Lemons
* Put the clove of garlic under a wide knife and smash it-this seems to release the properties better than chopping
* V8 or Tomato juice- we always used V8 because it has more flavor
* Keep the concoction simmering on low and drink through out the day
* Alter amounts of ingredients as you see fit.

[YEA] 11/16/2009: Aginto from Toronto, On writes: "AAAAAAMAZING!
My 2 year old caught a cold. Last night was rough, as he didn't sleep through the night - which means no one else did either. Today I found your Tomato Tea Recipe. I used Organic Jarred Tomatoe Puree (I read a list of the 7 foods you should never eat - and one of them was canned tomatoes as the acid in the tomatoes leeches the BPA out of the can's lining), 4 cloves of Smashed Organic Garlic, the juice of one organic lemon, and about 1/4 tspn of Organic Cayenne (IDK if it was African or not).
I gave him maybe 3 spoons of it and he immediately started hacking up phlegm. His nose started running like crazy, I'm assuming because his sinuses were draining. I had some too and right away felt my sinuses dry up and felt as though I could breathe more clearly.
The second time I gave it to him, he wasn't happy. He didn't want it - he was crying. But I made him have it, and he hacked up MORE phlegm. Poor baby... I know it's making him better though.
I also rubbed a combo of olive oil, peppermint essential oil and Eucalyptus essential oil on his feet and chest. I have a humidifier going in his room with Eucalyptus oil in the dispenser. I'm adding a little bit of Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar to his sippy cup of water with a bit of Organic Juice to mask the taste...
He's not eating much, but I'm loading him up on Organic Fruits and veggies. I'm making Chicken Soup from scratch using only Organic ingredients for dinner (what a mission).
He seems to be better today than he was last night, but the true measure will be how well he sleeps tonight.
Thank you all for your insight and input. I will report back tomorrow!"

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] 11/11/2009: Em from Santa Ana, Ca writes: "My ailment: bad sinus cold that was turning into bronchitis with heavy chest congestion. I followed the Tomato Tea recipe exactly as stated with the following additions: I doubled the recipe, added an extra 2 cloves of garlic (I also smashed the garlic with a knife to release the allicin before adding to pot), added salt, and heated on the stove for about 20 mins on low. I drank more than 6 cups of the tea over a period of 2-3 days.
What I noticed:
After the 1st cup: I felt worse! Sinuses, which weren't plugged up before, got plugged up. My congestion seemed to increase slightly, etc.
The next morning: I felt slightly better and realized I slept all night which I hadn't before.
After the next few cups: Sinus drainage, then sinuses plugged, on and off. With each cup, I now noticed the chest congestion easing.
Results: Symptoms subsided within 4 days."

10/20/2009: Ken from Stony Brook, Ny writes: "I am going to go out to the supermarket right now and try the tomato juice recipe but was wondering, wouldn't a bloody mary mix with some garlic work? wondering if I am wrong since its seems obvious and no one has recommended it. Ken"
10/27/2009: Jeanniew from Franklin, Wi replies: "Yes, definitely... This recipe is very very similar to bloody mary mix. I can't even remember how I came up with the recipe, it was so long ago, but making a hot bloody mary is a good possibility. :) Most people wouldn't have that handy, and also it may have coloring, preservatives, in it. But you're right... I should have just added that to the list. :) I'd add garlic, and more lemon juice and hot sauce though."

[YEA] 09/26/2009: Beth from Sc, Usa writes: "Once again down with a cold and the tomato tea is providing instant relief. Plus it's got lots of good stuff to help boost my immune system. I still can't believe how well it clears stuff out. I'm a wimp when it comes to eating spicy food, but for this I can more than tolerate it. I used a bit different recipe: 1 can tomato soup, juice from 1 lime, 3 cloves crushed garlic, a couple sprinkles of cayenne, and some hot sauce...I also went ahead and added a half tsp of turmeric, figured it might help. Heat this in a saucepan and poured into a large coffee cup. Ahh relief!!"

[YEA] 09/25/2009: Robert from Richland, Washington writes: "My wife who is 21 has been fighting a bacterial infection for around a week, she's had terrible sinus congestion, and pain in her ears. She's been on Antibotics for a week now, just started her 2nd perscription of a different antibotic as the first was not working. Now being at a week of this she asked me to see if there are any home remedies for head congestion, i typed it in and found the Tomato Tea Recipe and decided to try it as it had 122 "yeas". Well now it has one more my wife wasnt even done with the first batch of the tomato tea and her headache went away and her ear pain is gone. With this kind of result in such a short time, i am simply amazed. I used 2 cups of V8, 2 cloves crushed garlic, 2 T lemon juice and some hot sauce. Microved for a few minutes and it was ready to go. Thank you for the recipe!"

[YEA] 09/21/2009: Tamsin from Normal, Illinois, Usa writes: "Oh my, how wonderful! I have been having terrible allergy symptoms for a while and nothing was helping. This evening I decided to 'google' home remedies for chronic sinus congestion. I decided that the Tomato Tea sounded good as it should taste great and it got lots of "yeas". I didn't have any tomato juice on hand and it was 10pm so I didn't really want to go to the store, so I substituted vegetable juice. I could not believe it. I went from completely congested (almost to my throat) to breathing through both nostrils in two sips, count 'em, TWO sips! FANTASTIC! And it really does taste great too, so finishing it was not a problem :O)"

09/13/2009: Laura from Orlando, Fl writes: "Tomato Tea for nasal congestion
I'm sorry to say the tomato tea has not worked for me. I caught my son's head cold and came straight to EC for a remedy as usual. I had been drinking ACV, which normally works, but this time it wasn't helping much. I was excited to try this recipe - I love garlic and hot sauce! Unfortunately, the tea didn't do anything for my stuffed up nose...not even clear one side. I drank it straight for two days to no avail. I will say that I love the taste of the tea. However, my husband wouldn't come near me for a few days...he said he could smell me from the other side of the room! Lol! Guess I put too much garlic in. Here's the recipe I used: 2 cups V8, 2 tbsp lemon juice, at least 6 dashes of hot sauce (Tabasco), and at least 4 cloves of garlic, heated in a sauce pan. I drank it hot, breathed in the vapors, etc.
I really wish I could say this one worked for me. I was really optimistic about it due to all the positive feedback. The only thing that has helped is hot showers and eucalyptus/peppermint/olive oils mixed and applied to the bottoms of my feet at night (covered with white cotton socks). I still have a stuffy nose, and now it seems to be draining into my throat. I can feel my glands are starting to swell, causing my throat to hurt a bit, and my ears are clogged up as well. But good luck to everyone else who tries it out there! Hope it works better for you than it did for me!"
[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 09/19/2009: Laura from Orlando, Fl replies: "Just wanted to update my original response to the tomato tea remedy. Although I didn't get the immediate results that others had with this remedy, I will say that I was only "sick" for less than a week (about four days), which is much shorter than the normal 7-10 days. I'm not sure what to attribute this to, though, because I used a lot of different things to try to kick this cold. I drank the tomato tea for the first two days. I also applied eucalyptus/peppermint/olive oils mixed to the bottoms of my feet at night (covered with white cotton socks). I also took Juice Plus every hour (if EC won't print the brand name, it's just vitamins made from fruits and vegetables). I drank water like a fish, and I gargled hydrogen peroxide. I probably did other stuff, too that just seems normal for me, like drinking ACV, etc. So, maybe it was the combination of it all, or maybe it was the tea, but either way, I'll probably drink the tea next time I feel a cold coming on. I do believe garlic has antiviral properties, and helps out a lot. So the tea wasn't a total "nay." It just didn't give me the amazing immediate relief that I was so desperately looking forward to. Thanks for the recipe! I've added it to my remedy collection :)"
EC: Rating has been revised, thanks for the update!

08/02/2009: Eila from Grand Rapids, Mi writes: "OK, I just want to let you know that tomato tea really works!!! I had been suffering from a major sinus sinfection and headache for over a month. I had just finished 3 rounds of anti-biotics, was taking mucilex, psuedupredrine, and saline solutions, but I couldn't get my sinuses to drain very well. I was experiencing major head pressure. I ran across the tomato tea, was desperate, and figured that I didn't have anything to lose. Well, I went to the store, got the items needed made it, and drank it. The first cup, gave me significant pressure release. So, over the next week, I continued to drink this at least once per day, usually when I felt the pressure returning. After being on it for 1 week, I am happy to say that my sinuses are clear and have been clear for about 3 weeks now. I waited to leave feedback, because I wanted to see if it really worked, and I can now say that it does! Thanks for the natural remedies!"

After 2-3 sips, I felt MUCH better. I'm amazed at how quickly it worked. Thank you so much for this site.

[YEA] 07/25/2009: Beth from Stl, MO writes: "Tomato Tea Feedback - Been suffering from a second cold within a month. Last cold lasted forever spent the time just trying to feel better with OTC meds. Made it easier to get through the day but didn't really help. So about a week after getting over that cold I have another and am already feeling a lot better thanks to this website. Just found the tomato tea and I scrounged around my kitchen to come up with the best substitutes I could: tomato and basil soup, minced garlic (just threw a bunch in-love garlic!), squeezed fresh lime juice, and as much red curry powder as I can stand. Right away blew my nose and a bunch of junk came out and I CAN breathe finally!! The congestion is also deeper in my chest and my coughs are more productive. I'm sure it will take a while to get it all out of my system..but within a very short time with only the tomato soup I'm feeling so much better than with the decongestants. Thank you sooooo much!!! I am trying other remedies as well.. Love the site!"
08/18/2009: Jean from Frankliin, Wi replies: "It couldn't hurt to add ACV to the tomato tea, but I don't know how good it will taste! :) Every ingredient is a natural food, so there are no limits on how much you can take, or what you mix it with. But you could easily alternate between ACV and tomato tea too. Taking these two things on a regular basis will keep your body alkaline and ward off future problems!"

We both have trouble stopping up at night with congestion.Also my sense of smell is coming back!! Would adding ACV be ok to add to the tea and keep the same benifits or should they be used separately?"
07/08/2009: Dj from Pdx, Or replies: "Rick,
You may want to replace your pillows also. I had the same problem and it wasn't until my friend bought me a new pillow for christmas that I was enlightened as to the cause of my nightly congestion. It made a big difference.

[YEA] 07/04/2009: Carole_P. from Gray, La writes: "The Spicy Tomtato Tea worked really well for my awful congestion. Within 20 minutes I felt like I could breathe. I went ahead and took a second cup to help with the congestion that was still higher up. I felt great the next morning! (By the way, I've taken homeopathic and regular meds for my sinus problems, and both only give me a few hours of relief.) I had no problems for an entire day! That night, I started to feel stuffed up again. So, I used what I had to make a tea as close to it as I could get and it worked unbelievably!!! I just took a deep breath through my nose as I was typing this just to feel how well it worked. :-) I hope you all have the same success that I'm experiencing with this.
Here's what I used on night two:
Juice from one can of ___ tomatoes & chile peppers (save the tomatoes for some yummy salsa)
3/4 c vegetable juice
1 tbsp minced garlic
The juice from one lemon
Add boiling water to get desire consistency and temperature.
ENJOY!!!"

[YEA] 06/26/2009: Philip from Dearing, GA writes: "The Tomato Tea receipe from Jean in Franklin,WI is truely amazing. For about the last 10 years around February, my wife will get a very nasty respiratory infection. The medical doctors always diagnose her with sinusitis and bronchitis every year. She gets nagging dry coughs that keep her up all night and sound forceful enough to blow out a lung. They always give her antibiotics,cough supressants,and decongestion medications. It takes weeks for these medicines to work and sometimes she never gets completely over it for about a month. So this February when she got sick again,I immediately started her on Jeans Tomato Tea. This cold really jumps all over her almost overnight and she was so congested she could not smell or taste the garlic for the first 24 hours or so. After sipping the Tomatoe Tea for about 5 days, she was completely clear and free and for the first time in ten years. She DID NOT go to a doctor nor did she have to take any pharmaceutical medications."

[YEA] 06/16/2009: Lucy from Glendale Heights, Illinois writes: "Tomato Tea Cured My Sinus Congestion... I'd been suffering from the worse case of the flu I've had in years. I was going on my fifth day of suffering, and I could already tell my sinuses were starting to block up and were getting infected. As I couldn't miss any more work, I decided to look up a sinus remedy on this wonderful site and found Tomato Tea. I'd already been eating whole cloves of garlic and lots of tea with lemon and honey to get me through the sickness, but I knew it was gonna take something more to knock out this infection (not to mention the sinus pressure was becoming so debilitating, I needed something that would work fast!!). I sent my husband to pick up the ingredients from the store and set straight to work on this little concoction as soon as I arrived home from work (and what a miserable day it was). I used the following ingredients and measurements:
2 cups Tomato Juice
1/2 squeezed lemon
3-4 shredded cloves of garlic (I used a cheese shredder, which worked great)
As much Louisiana Hot Sauce as I could handle (about 5-6 shakes straight from the bottle)
A few shakes of Cayenne Pepper for good measure
A dash of Celery Salt
After two large cups of the tea over a 3 hour period, I was already feeling the sinus pressure ease. My stomach was feeling a little uneasy (not really upset) when I went to bed at around 10:00 pm, but I figured it was from eating dinner and having so much tea in a short period of time.
I woke up at 2:30 am and realized I was breathing through both nostrils and my throat wasn't nearly as sore or dry as it had been in my last 5 nights of restless sleep. Feeling actually good and rested, I'm now up drinking another cup of this wonderful tea and writing to earthclinic about it! It hasn't even been 24 hours, but I'm already feeling so much better! Thank you so much for this wonderful cure!"

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] 03/10/2009: Nancy from Binghamton, New York, USA writes: "Tomato Tea Caution (Gallstones): I tried the tomato tea, using the exact recipe as posted by Jean. It tasted better than I expected, and it is working pretty well on my sinuses. I drank one serving 2 days ago, and have been getting rid of mucous steadily since then. However, I also have (pretty sure, US test coming in 3 days) gallstones. I believe the tomato tea triggered a nasty gallstone attack, since about an hour after I drank it, the pain started, and the burning when I vomited was horrible, throat felt like it was on fire. Could that have happened from the ingredients in the tea? I hope not, because I would love to drink it again for the sinus congestion, it is working for me even better than sea salt flush or ACV! Any advice would be appreciated. I have not posted before, but I have been recently diagnosed with some health issues, and I always come here first. I don't want drugs or surgery, and most important health issue is, I am obese, and trying my best to solve that first. I LOVE EC!"
03/11/2009: Nicole from Geneva, Switzerland replies: "Nancy Hi. with regards to gallstone problems my grandmother cured her problem (instead of going to surgery to take the stones out) by dinking lots of parsley tea. Just take two bunches of fresh parsley and boil then drink as a tea during the whole day. I prefer to put some lemon just for the taste. DRINK LOTS OF LIQUIDS....! For people with gallstone problems you should drink a MINIMUM of 2 litres of water and teas. Hope this helps."
09/27/2009: Jeannie from Franklin, Wi replies: "Every once in a while I come in here to read the feedback as it feels really good to know I've helped people. As I've read through them, I've noticed a few things that seem to be related to the tomato drink not working:
1. Polyps: Of course, if you have a physical blockage, that needs to be removed.
2. OTC & prescribed drugs: MANY people state that these help temporarily and then the problem gets even worse... that's a given. If you take them at the same time you're doing the tea, perhaps you're counter-acting what the tea is doing. Quit the drugs.
3. Sinus problems often seem to be related to eating sugars, ice cream, cookies, whatever.
4. Not everyone will react in the same way. GIVE IT TIME if it doesn't work right away. Most people have very quick relief, others it takes days.
5. It WILL kill the virus/germ... you don't need antibiotics. I know this from personal experience, and many people have said the same. This worked where antibiotics did not."
09/28/2009: Bee from Mo, Usa replies: "I have to say from my experience I found that the OTC drugs did make it worse. I felt better in the short-term, but it took longer to get over the cold. Anything that seems to block the discharge of congestion (pseudoephedrine, etc) when I took that it lasted longer. I am sticking with natural supplements and tomato tea and letting it CLEAR out the mucous/infection and it helps a lot when you stick it out!! Be patient and you will feel better! :)"
