Millions of people suffer with chronic sinus conditions everyday. Being in the natural health industry this is one of the most frequent problems that people come in seeking help. I have found Bromelain and Quercetin very effective for prevention of many miserable sinus symptoms including congestion and sinus headaches. Both Bromelain and Quercetin work by keeping the sinus membranes from becoming inflamed.
Bromelain is an enzyme from pineapple that has amazing generalized anti-inflammatory properties. Many people also will use Bromelain inflammation of the joints and arthritic conditions. But Bromelain is particularly effective for reducing inflammation in the sinus membranes. Usually1000mgs two times daily is effective.
Quercetin is a citrus bioflavonoid that has been shown to naturally inhibit histamine release. It works as natural anti-histamine without the side effects of Benadryl like medicines. When histamines are released the sinus membranes become irritated and inflamed and breathing becomes difficult. Usually 1000mgs two times daily is effective.
From a naturalistic approach to sinus problems these two nutrients are the best things going.
