Olive leaf extract and goldenseal are both effective in fighting underlying bacterial or fungal infections. Naturopath Dr Donald Gay of Ontario, Canada, claims that, after three and a half weeks of treatment with olive leaf extract, his chronic sinusitis -- that had plagued him for ten years - was cured.
Vitamin C is well known for its ability to strengthen the immune system and reduce allergic reactions. It can also reduce sinus congestion directly, by reducing levels of histamine (J. Nutr., 110: 662-8, 1980). This chemical, which is produced in your body, causes inflammation and swelling of the mucous membranes, so blocking off the narrow openings from your nose into your sinuses. Take one gram of vitamin C three times a day.
Zinc is another nutrient with multiple benefits. It kills the common cold virus, so shortening the duration of a cold and reducing the risk that sinusitis will result. It boosts your immune system, enabling it to deal better with bacterial or fungal infections (Am. J. Clin. Nutr., 32: 1466, 1979). It is also an essential part of the enzymes needed for essential fatty acids to do their job of reducing pain and inflammation. Take 15mg of zinc three times a day.
Quercetin is one of a group of compounds called flavonoids that occur naturally in fruits and vegetables. Quercetin increases the effectiveness of vitamin C in the body and can also inhibit the inflammatory processes involved in sinusitis by blocking the release of inflammatory substances such as histamine (Prog. Clin. Biol. Res., 213: 231-242, 1986). The recommended daily dose of quercetin is 1,000mg.
