Suggestions for getting rid of a sinus cold? And for falling asleep?

[xTeacup]

Question up there.^

I have one of those terribly annoying headaches behind the eyes. And my nose keeps constantly running. It's rather watery.

I also have a slight sore throat

Anything, but please don't suggest honey or anything that comes from an animal or insect.

I have a hard time sleeping too; care to share any suggestions for falling asleep?

If I don't feel better by tomorrow, I'll just go to the doctor. \

Thank you. :]<3

I know this sounds so wierd, but its actually the only thing that helps my sinus infections. Apple cider vinegar. If you go on earth clinic and search it you will find loads of people who it has worked for :) You can put it in warm water and sip it but I just took it straight, about a teaspoon, it does burn that way but I couldn't stand drinking it in water because it took too long and tasted gross ha ha :) sorry I can't remember exact quanitities of it but try that website! hope that helps with the sinus thing! As for the sleeping thing I'm not too sure, can you watch a movie you like but have seen a few times, so it doesn't matter if you miss the ending? like a comedy or something relaxed, that usually helps me fall asleep if its on quietly in the background.

Thanks! :] I went to my local health and got some apple cider vinegar and come home and had a tablespoon (half apple cider vinegar and half agave nectar). I was terrified I would upchuck from the smell and taste because last night I had some awful onion/sugar drink that was supposed to help; instantly threw up. But the vinegar mixture wasn't bad at all.

Do you think I should drink another tablespoon or teaspoon, or do you think a tablespoon mixture will be enough?

[xTeacup]

Oh! And how often do you drink it daily? And when?

Sorry for all the questions..aha. This is terribly new to me.

Thank you so much! :]

:) Sorry I meant to put tablespoon! :) But the majority of people seem to suggest 2 tablespoons a day, a tablespoon either in hot water and sipped or you can inhale it too which helps! Or just a straight tablespoon twice a day. I usually take it when I feel the most pressure in my head/very blocked nose which is usually the morning, and then whenever throughout the day you start feeling rough again. And good idea with the agave nectar :D I'm presuming you may be vegan? :) I'm vegetarian x

[xTeacup]

Hmm, alright. I'll probably have two of those mixtures before I go to sleep. Thank youu once again. :D

And thanks. :] I think the agave nectar really helps. :]

And yes! I am vegan. :]

This is kind of random but do you get sick at all since becoming vegetarian? I noticed that I haven't gotten a single cold since I became vegan, besides this one, although I think it was passed onto me by a family member.

Nice to meet someone who shares similar values to me :) Although you're doing better than me, I plan to go vegan one day but havnt quite gotten to that stage yet! I have a few issues with my sinuses from a bad sinus infection a long time ago but I've been vegetarian for 4 years now and actually I don't think I've had many colds at all compared to what I used to get. I think the fact you have cut out dairy has probably really helped too though as that's a dreadful culprit when it comes to colds lol

Tea and chicken soup do wonders.

[xTeacup]

Chicken soup comes from an animal. :I But thanks.

Oops! Only saw the insect part. There's still vegetable soups that will do the trick. I've had sinus problems my whole life, so I know it sucks and these things help me when it gets bad, hope you feel better.
