my easy cure for sinus infection

[mightypen]

this is not a question. I have been using a technique to cure my sinus infections for years, now, and I want to share it. It works every time within 24 hours, or so. All I do is vibrate the mucous mass in my sinus using either a powerful bass speaker at the right frequency, or using a powerful massager of some sort, and pressing my head into it at different angles and with varying pressure until i feel the painful area vibrating. I'm guessing i just break up the mucous mass, allowing it to drain over the next few hours. The key is finding the resonant frequency of the mass. I find that frequency, then let it shake for a few minutes, maybe 2-5 minutes. Then, I just wait, and by the time I wake up the next day, the sinus infection is gone. For me, it works every single time. The first time I did it (by accident, installing a sound system in my car), I had had a terrible sinus infection for 2 1/2 weeks that was extremely painful. I woke up the next day cured.
Please pass this on to a professional. I hope it can help others.

I have had significant relief to sinus pain and pressure after a long car ride in which I was laying in the back seat. I noticed the hum & vibration of the car & then all of the sudden my ears popped and the week following, my sinuses finally started draining. There is something to vibration therapy for sinus infections!

Thanks so much for your suggestion. I have a history of sinus congestion. My latest month long episode did not even respond to prednisone. I had noticed that walking helps clear things up, and had hypothesized that the jar of the heel on the ground loosens things. Following your suggestion, I went to Brookstone and bought the Mobile Support Massager (it was on sale for $65). It was the best 65$ I have ever spent. It has a variable vibration rate, and after pressing it hard against my nose, forehead, jawline etc, I am free of congestion that has bothered me over a month. Yes, within 24 hours, (over night really) 90% better, another treatment on another day, 100% relief.
Basically when things clear up, then flonase or other topical steroids can get to the surface area and do their job. I also lay back and let it drain down (yep some gets in my throat, an easy price to pay for relief). When my nasal passages clear up, then I can use flonase the normal way. Without the vibration, this would have taken forever to obtain.
For who might try the Mobile Support Massager, use a cloth between the massage end and your face, since on low speeds it can jump off your face and hit you. And press hard, you will know when it is hard enough - the vibration feels great.

J/K, but I do have a vibrator - the real one - with diff speeds, however, when  you say things like, "powerful bass speaker at the right frequency" and, " The key is finding the resonant frequency of the mass"...I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU MEAN, and it seems others don't follow either.  Is it possible for you to do a you tube video to post?  I just tried it with what I have, using diff speeds, so not sure of the outcome, but if this works...I'M GOING TO TRACK YOU DOWN AND KISS YOU RIGHT ON THE MOUTH!!!

Great information.  I would just like to add that sometimes chronic sinusitis can actually be caused by dental issues. If you have a tooth in your upper teeth that has issues it will impact your sinuses.  Just be aware that this could be a contributing factor to a recurrent sinus infection

Thanks for posting this - I'll have to try it. I get sinus infections about 3-4 times a year and my sinuses are pretty much always stuffed. Definitely a chronic sinusitis guy and my deviated septum doesn't help things. I pretty much hate nasal irrigation, I don't know many people that do (except for shell921 pretty clearly does, LOL!). Actually I got to this post via another one of her irrigation posts, so thx for that. I have never heard of the resonant vibration technique but worth a shot. I have tried everything, including eating cloves of raw garlic (NOT advisable by the way - for someone who can barely taste anything right now I thought I was going to barf, lol), ACV, nasal irrigation (a lot), oil of oregano (as well as the oil of clove/thyme/cinnamon method people rave about), cinnamon honey, hot toddy (which I do advise if for no other reason than to get a drink in while you feel like crap, ha).  I am currently battling the most brutal infection I've had in a while, but I think I am finally coming down from it, after a week of total hell. I'll tell one thing that I really think helps, and I could be crazy but I've read it a couple other places after I had tried it, listerine. I must admit I kind of love listerine  in general (I know, mosochist), but when I have infections I hit it pretty hard - gargle 2-3 times a day all around and I am pretty convinced it helps tremendously. Last time with lots of water, some Emergen-C, and listerine I battled off a sinus infection in like 24-48 hours; Not so lucky this time. Anyway, I didn't intend to rant on the subject, but thanks, mighty, I will try this technique!  By the way, this post has been up over 3 years now, did your ENT ever confirm the technique?  Appreciate it

I hate to beat a dead horse, here, but I'd like to address your technique again. I still think it's possible you are not applying enough force with the massager. You said you don't feel pain in the affected area when you use the massager. When I use mine, I place it on the floor, lay a towel or pillow over it, and I press my head into it, using much of my body weight to press very hard. If you are using your arm strength to press it to your head, you may just be doing it too gently.
Try this: put the massager against the wall, maybe in the corner, maybe with a cloth or pad between it and the wall so it doesn't hurt the wall, and lean into it very hard. push your head into it at different angles until you feel the sore part of your sinuses rattling. When I do it, it always hurts the infected area.
I believe the technique works because you find the resonant frequency of the area of flesh that is affected, and therefore it vibrates enough to detach the mucous from the flesh wall. Then it just takes a day or so for the mucous to drain, and for the inflamed flesh to calm down.
When I do the technique, I feel like my brain is going to rattle itself right out of my head.
I must admit that part of the reason I want it to work for you is because I want to think my technique works, but mainly I just want you to get better. No matter what technique ends up helping, I really hope you solve this problem.
All the best,
mighty

Thanks heaps for your suggestion. I also like the helpful, patient, good humoured way you respond to people, even when they're being just a tad dogmatic or obtuse! Just got to find a vibrator shop that I'm not embarrassed to go in to!
