Many of the herbs we use often at The Herbalist are applicable for both of these conditions and are at their most powerful in the spring and summer, such as horsetail, nettles, red clover, red root, burdock to name a few. Happy Mother's Day! Tierney --------------------------------------- Sinus Survival! As seen on Oprah! Neti Pots Neti pots have been used for thousands of years by practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine. Also known as nasal irrigation or lavage, Neti pots are used largely for infection and blockage in the nasal cavities due to congested mucus that manifests as allergies, head colds and sinus infections. Traditionally, Neti pots are used with warm water and non-iodized salt to help cleanse and open up the nasal passages. This safely, gently and effectively rinses small particles and debris from the sensitive mucosal lining of the sinuses. Learn More...	Become Rich With Herbs... Mineral Rich that is!
