I have been having sinus problem for the last 5 years ever since moving down to Virginia 7 years ago. I developed chronic sinusitis that constantly giving headache and pressure. I tried all kinds of OTC medicine as well as prescription medicine, and nothing helps and with terrible side effect on heart rate and blood pressure. For my last three weeks, my sinuses were so congested that I could not sleep at all. After trying the Tomato tea, my sinuses clear up in about 2 hours. I continue the tomato tea treatment for the next three days, I have never felt so good in years. Best of all, the tea tastes good. Even my daughter loves it. I am not sure if the sinus problem is cure or not. However, I am enjoying my sinus problem free for a few days. Thanks. William

I've been suffering from chronic colds and allergy symptoms since November 2006. Stuffy head, congested, headache, just not feeling well. I've been on antibiotics, become a Sudafed junkie and bought Ocean nasal spray nearly every week. I read about the tomato tea recipe last week, but was skeptical. Today, after a restless night with not much rest, I decided to try it. I love tomato juice, so no problem there. Mixed with garlic, lemon juice and hot sauce sounded a little strange. To my amazement, it was DELICIOUS! I tried to breathe the vapors before I drank it. Within 1 hour, the headache was diminishing and I could feel my congestion lessening. Now, 4 hours later, I am almost congestion free and feel GREAT!!! Thank you SO MUCH for publishing this recipe ~ I'm going to recommend it to everyone I know!

I googled "Natural Remedy for Sinus Infection" and the results brought me to this site. I am currently taking prednisone to cure a rash that was caused by antibiotics. So when I started to experience sinus pressure & pain on Saturday morning, I knew if my sinuses became infected, I did not want to have to go back on any antibiotics. I tried the recipe for Tomato Tea and within 20 mins I was feeling relief. I took a second dose in the evening and slept through the night with no pain or stuffiness. I can honestly say that I am amazed and thrilled that this remedy seems to really do the trick! And it's tasty too! Thank You!

I had the worst sinus pressure, so bad I was crying. I tired my mom's nasal spray, drinking water, sleeping and ignoring it thinking it would go away. Nothing. I found the tomato tea cure, with the tomato juice, garlic, hot sauce, and lemon juice, it is now 20 minutes later, my head feels better, I'm not sensitive to light anymore, I'm not tired, it's like a miracle.

My sinuses have given me trouble for the last 2 years. In particular, my left nostril tends to feel blocked and flair up. I have not been able to pinpoint a single allergy that could be responsible and I have previously had no major allergy problems. I had three rounds of antibiotics in the not too distant past and they were slightly helpful but did not eliminate my problem.
Tomato Tea makes me feel much much better. I do not know if this is simply treating symptoms or if there is a lasting effect. I do, however, know that anyone who is having sinus pain ought to at least give this a try. Even if it only treats symptoms it sure does a fine job of it. Thank you for this recipe, it has brought me great relief.

For almost two years now my regular sinus condition has gotten about ten times worse. If I sleep through the night it is a miracle. Tonight I was at the end of my rope. (not to mention I had been on a variety of meds including;flonase, singular, advair, sudafed, zyrtec) and they barely take the edge off of it. I have used garlic alone and cayne pepper so when I read this receipe I brewed up a cup...and I was extremely stuffy tonight and not able to sleep. I drank/sipped it down and I am 90 percent clearer than I was in just twenty minutes. I ended with a stick of winterfresh gum (which does help to clear my sinus) and wow, I feel better than I ever have. I tried the apple cider vineger but it only took the edge off, but this stuff and my trusty stick of gum...well, I am off to bed and betting I will sleep pretty good. And talk about taste, I will drink this two to three times a day and look forward to it, it tastes great. Good Night all..

It works! I tried everything that the doctor prescribed for my sinus infection and when that did not work, I turned to the Internet and found the Tomato/Vegetable tea concoction remedy. About 3 hours after I drank it, I could actually breathe and have not had a better night's sleep in months. THANKS A MILLION!!!

This stuff ROCKS! The Tomato Tea (I consider it more of a soup) is absolutely amazing! I've had extreme allergies for my entire life, coupled with asthma. I also have a deviated septum, which causes constant sinus infections. I'm on all sorts of OTC medications as well as prescriptions and none of them work as well as this stuff. I made it with 52 ounces of tomato juice, 4 tablespoons of garlic, 4 tablespoons of lemon juice, and I quit keeping track of how much Cayenne and hot sauce I used. Needless to say, I'm sitting here sweating profusely due to the spiciness, but I can't even feel the sinus infection anymore. My nose has been draining for half an hour, the pressure is gone, no more headache, sore throat is gone, and no more itchy eyes. Not to mention the soup tastes FANTASTIC. I'm definitely going to drink this stuff more often. Thank you so much!

My mom, just returned from MO, and she went to the DR. today for her sinus, which is worse in TN than MO, she got a prescription and a nasal spray. She took the med and used the spray, at dinner she was worse and I found your webpage and your tomato recipe, she took it and 10 minutes later (we timed it!) she was better. She didn't care for the garlic part of it but she loves the relief!! Thank you for the great info.

Where I live it gets very cold and easy to catch a cold or flu virius..I decided to try this mixture and to my surprise , I found it is quite effective with sinus problems and combatting cold and viruses.. This stuff really does work and tastes great!! I would drink this rather than taking Buxleys any day. If you have never tried Buxleys, it taste absolutely horrible.. This tomatoe mixture I would highly recomend to anyone...It cures me every time and drink it when I feel a cold or flu coming on..

Hello Earth Clinic, Last night I really couldn't breathe and had a very awful blocked nose.. I didn't even sleep so I browsed the internet and searched for the cure for blocked nose and lucky me.. I found your site and the very helpful tip! Although I didn't have any of the ingredients last night, first thing in the morning I bought all the ingredients and immediately mixed and boiled it... I loved the taste and most of all it decongested my stuffed nose in 10 minutes.. thanks!! I will definitely recommend this to my friends...

So after two sleepless nights and two wearied days of dealing with a painful sinus congestion and runny nose, I decided that I couldn't take ANYMORE of the zyrtec/singulair/albuterol combination my doctor put me on! So, I put on some determination, got out of bed and did a search on the internet on "painful sinus congestion" and came across the recipe for the spicy tomato tea. Unfortunately, I only had a couple of the ingredients on hand, but I got myself dressed, went to get the rest of the ingredients. I am so glad that I did, because now, only 1 hour later, I feel like a million bucks...no runny nose or stuffy nose!! Thank you all for your feedback!!!

I would really recommend to buy a juicer, and make this tea with freshly juiced vegatables, and ideally organic vegetables-- (and a juicer is great to have around anyway, but especially useful we're you're sick and need nutrients as pure as possible--it's harder to digest our food when we're ill--).
I just made this receipe, with two large tomatoes, a clove of garlic, a piece of fresh lemon, a little celery (all of which I put in my juicer), then I added sea salt (*not* table salt, which is not good for you), the hot sauce (though i wish i had had some fresh peppers around too--), threw in a little black pepper, boiled the mixture on the stove, then drank it as a tea, and it worked great-- (in some ways, it's like drinking the best tomato soup you've ever had :)i would definitely true to juice your vegetables though--and there are some good cheap ones (I found a really good one at target, that had really tacky decorating on the box (it seemed like an informerical gone bad), but it ended up being a great juicer better than the slick black i had bought a few months earlier but was more 'chic' looking (and both cost $100).
fresh lemon and apple juice shooters i've heard are good when you're sick too, but i haven't tried that yet...i'll let you know when i do :)
