Grapefruit Seed Sinus +++

Posted on by

Add 4 drops of Grapefruit Seed Extract and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt to 8 ounces of warm water. Allow the salt to dissolve in the water. Use the solution to irrigate the nasal cavities using a Neti pot or nasal spray bottle.

I use pharmaceutical grade–but the  product  in the picture will work just fine and is available at all stores such as Sprouts, Whole Foods, etc.

Here are some other uses for GSE.  I have used it since I began practice, let it go and now after studying with the French who use GSE extensively, I am bringing it back.

INTERNAL USE OF GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT:

Note: Never use the Grapefruit Seed Extract Concentrate at full strength, as it may cause irritation.

Orally – Suggested Use: Use the GSE Mouthwash or 5 to 15 drops of concentrate mixed in 5 ounces of water or juice, 2 to 5 times daily, with or without meals. (Or, take one-two NutriBiotic Capsules Plus® or one-two NutriBiotic® tablets 1 to 5 times daily). Children(under 10 years): 1 to 6 drops mixed in 5 ounces juice, 2 to 3 times daily. Do not use full strength in mouth.

Dental Rinse For Healthy Gums and Fresh Breath: Use the GSE Mouthwash or stir 3 drops of NutriBiotic into 2 oz. or more of water. Vigorously swish a small amount of the water for 10 seconds or more, 1 to 2 times daily. Also works as an additive for Waterpik® type units. Add 3 to 4 drops to the water reservoir. Always dilute.

Throat Gargle: Use the GSE Mouthwash or stir 3 drops of NutriBiotic into a small(3 ounces or so) glass of water. Gargle several times. Use as often as needed. Always dilute.

Ear Rinse: Use the GSE Ear Drops or thoroughly mix 4 to 10 drops of NutriBiotic into one ounce of glycerin or alcohol. Apply 1 to 2 drops of this solution in affected ear 1 to 2 times daily. Use as often as needed. Do not use full strength in ears.

Nasal rinse: Use the GSE Nasal Spray or Mix 1 drop NutriBiotic with 2 ounces of water. With your head tilted back, fill each nostril with a full eye-dropper of the mixed solution. Swing head forward and down(head is now upside down) to force the solution up into nasal passages. Return head to the normal upright position and allow nasal passages to drain. Do not inhale through the nose during this process. Always dilute.

Vaginal Rinse: – Mix 5 to 10 drops of NutriBiotic in 6 to 8 ounces of water. Douche once daily for one week. Douche more often if desired. Always dilute

EXTERNAL USE OF GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT:

Facial Cleanser: Thoroughly moisten(splash) face with warm or cool water. With hands still wet, apply 2 to 3 drops of NutriBiotic to fingertips and gently massage facial area with circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with cool water and pat dry. A tingling sensation may follow. This is an indication of the deep cleansing properties of NutriBiotic. Always dilute.

Skin Rinse: (For minor skin irritations) Dilute NutriBiotic with water(5 to 10 drops/ tablespoon). Apply this solution directly to affected area twice daily. Do not use full strength on skin.

Finger/Toe Nail Treatment: Dilute NutriBiotic with water or alcohol(5 to 10 drops/tablespoon). Apply this solution directly on surface of nail along the cuticle and underneath the front of nail, or soak nails, twice daily, for as long as desired. Do not use full strength on nails.

Scalp treatment: Add 5 to 10 drops of NutriBiotic to each shampooing(mix in hand or on head with shampoo). Massage into scalp and leave on for at least two minutes. Rinse off thoroughly with water. May also be used without shampoo

Arden’s Vaginal Douche

Arden’s Vaginal Douche

I have been recommending Arden’s Douche Powder for over twenty years in clinical practice. It is an extremely effective, safe, and easy to use treatment for a plethora of vaginal issuers including yeast infections

The benefits of the powder can be attributed to the antifungal properties of the essential oils of eucalyptus, and thyme as well as from boric acid which in and by itself was used for douching way back when. The menthol crystals provide quick relief from itching and burning. Methyl salicylate reduces painful discomfort and the alum has astringent properties which help to draw infection from local tissues. Arden’s Vaginal Powder supports a normal vaginal Ph of 3.8-4.2.

Douching with Arden’s is clean and simple. Although suppositories or creams may be quicker t insert, they are not as effective as bathing the entire vaginal area with the treatment. If done correctly, a douche solution is not as messy as other methods of treatment

I recommend  patients to use the above douche kit which is also available through Vital Nutrients, . This kit holds a single pint of fluid and is easy to clean and is reusable.

My general recommendations for using Arden’s Powder are:

  • Mix 1 teaspoon of Arden’s Powder in 1 pint of warm water
  • Fill the douche apparatus (Tiny Kit) with the solution and gently insert the nozzle into the vagina. This can be done in the shower or on the toilet
  • Squeeze the bag so that the solution runs into the vagina. The solution will easily bathe the area and then empty.

When infection is present, I typically recommend two applications daily for the first two days, then one application daily for five more days. A 7 day treatment plan regime should be sufficient

I also recommend a vaginal bath after the menstrual cycle and in some patients once weekly for a specific number of weeks.

Douching is not recommended during the menstrual cycle or during pregnancy
