Sinus, Dark Eye Circles and Dull Skin

Hi all. It has been a very busy week for me working from day to night, answering listeners' questions and blending herbal oils.



It's all worth it because I received a number of feedback on recovery from sinus, cough, back pain problems. Across the causeway from JB, I received a small note from a lady yesterday. She told me her skin had improved after using the serum. I am very happy for sll of you.

SINUS (COOLING AND HEAT TYPE)

Symptoms include fullness behind head congestion, excess mucus,
facial pain, headaches, non-stop sneezing and blocked nose.

What you should avoid:

• Do not blow your nose violently. Instead blow out through one nostril then the other, not together. The sudden pressure in your ears can push bacteria back into sinuses.


• Alcohol and heaty foodstuff causes the "Ki" to flow upwards, which delay healing process.


• Too much cooling food also causes the body to weaken and takes longer to heal.

SINUS/COUGH

This is a very tricky problem. I have a client who had seen many doctors and even went for operations but the condition is still the same. After doing simple acupressure and using the following 2 oils, he is much better now.


Aromatherapy Method (especially effective for kids):

For emergency applications:



  • 1 drop of Lavendula Vera and 1 drop of Eucalytus Radiata onto a piece of tissue paper and inhale. Rub the tissue on your upper back, and with a hairdryer, warm your upper back.

  • 2-4 drops of Lavendula Vera and 2 drops Euclayptus Radiata into a small jar of "Vicks" ointment (most convenient), or 30ml Aloe Vera gel. Mix well with a wooden toothpick and leave overnight.

  • To use, apply some onto the chest and upper back area, rub gently. With some of the leftover on your fingers, apply a bit under the nose. Use a hairdryer to warm the upper back for a while.

  • Apply acupressure on the Ying Xiang (Welcome Fragrance) Points (see illustration) twice a day everyday. Press the points for 6 seconds, release, and repeat for 2 mins.

Twice a week: One drop peppermint and one drop lemon in tissue inhale:>


People who have sinus problems should stop eating fruits and cold drinks after 6pm. I have suggested many to observe this for a week and they have found improvement. Your sinus will be difficult to heal even if you take Chinese medicine but do not observe the Yin and Yang elements of the food.

Bryan,

I have nose allergy and sinus and had seen ENT doctor, the doctor advice to avoid the following Foods: peanut, milk, chocolate, dairy food, chicken, egg, citrus fruit such as oranges, pinapple. Hope that this may help those who suffer the same allergy as I am.

Hi Byran
I am one of the teachers from Grace Orchard School. I had sinus for 10 years. I would sneeze and have runny nose every morning for 2 -3 hours. If I am tired I would sneeze and have runny nose the whole day.
After attending yr talk, I added the lavendula and Eucalyptus oil into my vick. I applied some in my nostrils before going to bed. When I woke up the next morning I only sneezed once and HAD NO RUNNY NOSE!! I achieved the the same results the next few mornings. It really works!! Thanks!!

Regards,
Rachel
