#congestion #remedy #chestcongestion #nasalcongestion #sinus #sinusremedy
From Ohio,was downwith covid, with sinus and severe chest congestion.Age 76. No doctor wanted to see me with covid so tried your method. First time it worked wonders on my sinus. A little on my lungs. After several days my lungs are almost back to normal. Also have COPD. But breathing good and hardly no cough. Thqnks
I’m going to try this today!! Glad it worked out well for you!
Thanks for posting! I'm worried about my Dad. I will try this.
Glad you feel better ❤️🩹
God Bless.
That makes me so mad. There is no reason for ANY DOCTOR to not see you. My husband and I both had Covid for a month. We went to the take care clinic attached to our doctor's office in east Tennessee... They were awesome. Prayers for you and hope you are feeling better now.
1/2 cup Apple cider vinegar, 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cyanne powder, optional gives it a kick, 2 cups boiled water, make a tent over the bowl with a towel and put your head over the bowl, then breathe normally for 15 minutes
Thank you for sharing.
Apple Cider Vinegar is perfect for all problems
Saved me 6 min of talk thx
Praise God for you cause I almost tapped out lol

2 years ago I got deathly ill I thought I was a goner, after surviving I had all this congestion in my lungs I couldn't get rid of, your video saved me. Within two to three days of doing this my congestion was gone, and I recovered fully. Thank you so much for posting this.
How are you now?Is your nasal congestion gone?
I thought I am the only one who also had that disgusting issue after allergia...
@@guranshsingh1408 I never had any nasal congestion, I just had chest congestion that wouldn't go away after becoming sick.
I am 61 . This works. I am from the upper Midwest and this is what our mothers did and it cleans out sinuses . Better than over the counter .
Yes it does
Glad to hear that. We're always suffering from sinus crud and the sinus decongestants are awful according to the docter I listened to. I hate it. Our air must be yucky all the time. I think the Lords been telling me get off the decongestants. I didn't know that they mess with my central nervous system.
Trying this tomorrow morning hope it works
I wonder if this mixture could be used in a nebulizer.
@@patriciahammett4197 I'd like to know that too.
Okay y’all, this is day 5 of nasal congestion and I am finally starting to feel relief. This is what has worked for me: apple cider cayenne and boiled water steam 3x a day like she said, drinking ginger lemon and honey tea by boiling fresh lemons and fresh ginger morning and night, hot steamy long showers multiple times a day, elderberry tea, id drink regular ginger and lemon tea and I’d add honey, cinnamon and apple cider vinegar, lemon water, lots of water throughout the day, spicy foods - I added fresh jalapeños and lots of cayenne pepper to my soups and foods and cinnamon to my smoothies, (try to eat foods that eliminate mucus), over the counter decongestant, emergen C, nasal spray, rubbing vicks on my chest, upper back, under nose, and bottom of feet with socks on, especially after a shower and before bed, sleeping on my back and elevating my head (I would use like three pillows to elevate my head), I would also sleep with a bowl of raw onions next to me every night, sounds weird but the same thing in onions that causes eyes to burn and cry is the same thing that draws out toxins and this actually helped, vitamin C, D & E, zinc, rest, and lots of prayer and positive mindset. I normally sleep with a fan on, but definitely had to turn that off since it causes mucus to dry and thicken. I would listen to 528 hz frequencies which helps to heal energy and repair dna. This is just what has worked for me! This sounds like a lot, but I’ll do anything to be able to breathe normally again. Hope this helps someone! ✨
Have you ever tried alternating nostril breath technique? I found it on CZcams when I was desperate to breath one night and it was by an older Chinese guy, but you can find it ujder yoga or breathwork videos as well. It takes a bit of time and effort bc obviously you can't breathe properly right away, but I swear, eventually if you stick with it for few mins it will clear bit by bit. I even got my taste and smell back. Which tells me it cleared SOMETHING! And I can breathe. Not like super clear, but still good enoigh.
I would add xclear as well cause it contains xylithol try to stay away from nasal sprays that suppress your immune system that is the opposite of what u want
Thank you 🤗
You forgot to mention your crystals and essential oils 😂
Awesome stuff I'm about to do this now
Thank you! We grew up in Vietnam using boiled lemongrass stalks or ginger. We’d put the bowl on the floor and used a big blanket to get the most sweaty! It does bring down fevers also.
I try this ingredients thanks all
I like how you teach, very direct information. No playing around trying make video longer than necessary. You have a pleasant voice that makes you easy to listen to. Thank you
Yeah..
video is on point, no circles around the topic.
Thanks
Yes she is straight to the point with a great voice and clear directions 🙌🙌🙌 love her ❤
Thanks for the reminder, Carolyn. I’m approaching 80 and have used this for years, but sometimes when you haven’t used it in a long time, you forget how much help this simple remedy is.
Would you happen to know if this can be saved and reheated? (It would take a lot of vinegar to re-make this three times a day) thank you!
@@princessrejoicing9097 I have never tried to do that, but perhaps you could do that for a short time. I’d be concerned about contamination. Frankly, I’d do a smaller container and less of the ingredients so you wouldn’t feel it’s a waste.
@@lynneanderson8643 thank you! Great suggestion!
@@princessrejoicing9097 You’re welcome. Good luck.
Yes it is , sometimes we forget the good medicine near to us , simple easy no side effects
You Go ! You are correct this video should be shared around the world!
Thanks! I have done this and it really works. I'm sad I missed the live. Love the videos❤
Thank you Carolyn! I tried this last night & it immediately liquified the mucus in my lungs making it easy to get rid of. Amazed.
Wonderful!
This is a Godsend. Thank you, Carolyn!
Thank you! I love all this “wonderful stuff” you are so patiently and generously sharing with us. I have often prayed to find a way to learn what my grandma would’ve taught me if we had had the time . . .
My grandmother would do this for us with just the plain water and eucalyptus leaves. Works so well!! Next time I’ll try the vinegar and cayenne too.
When I was a kid in the 70s, my mom knew all the old-fashioned remedies, and we never went to the doctor. When we had sore throats, we gargled with warm salt water. When I had canker sores, which I got sometimes in my teens, I remember my mom putting salt in a little piece of paper towel, folding it up, and then making me put it right on the canker sore. It hurt until it was numb. lol! And when we had congestion, she put different herbs from her kitchen cabinet in a pot of boiling water bent us over it and had us put a towel over our heads! She also used something similar to try and help with my acne issues. (it didn't work, but I sure appreciate what she did back then now that I'm "old") I wish I had had a daughter to pass all this knowledge on to.
Thank you for sharing this. I just made it for both my son and husband who are experiencing sinusitis. They are saying it is working better than the Vicks steamer we have. I love the natural remedies:)
Laying of dairy will help too, since dairy adds to your own mucous production.
My husband was in the other room and could not make out what you were talking about but commented how relaxing your voice is..reassuring and competent.
My dear mom used to do this for us, she would add some Vick in the hot water and make a funnel with paper around the bowl so we would! breathe and not go in the eyes much! Great remedy, miss my mom will be 1 year in October that she passed😢
Sorry sonia about your big lost mom’s are very special ❤ you have great memories of her ❤️May Gos have her resting in peace Amen 🙏 ❤️
I’m so sorry to hear this I lost my mom and it was a year ago October also. It just seems unreal sometimes to be on this earth without her 😢😢
This has definitely helped thank you! I was sooooo miserable, I can across your video and instantly tried it.😊
I add powdered cayenne pepper to my hot tea when I am congested and it is phenomenal how quickly it works as an expectorant. About an Eighth of a teaspoon into a cup of hot tea is all you need.
I'll try that; me nose gets congestion quite an amount. GB
@@hummer40316 lavender oil on sinuses helps too! I put it on my cheeks from near the nostril across to my ear and below the ear. Take care!
@@drich9164 Thanks D Rich; I'll see if I can find lavender oil some day. The cayenne did help clear me sinus, plus helped clarify my cranial function. Toodle-oo und God bless
I have used the steam method before. My grandma showed me as a child but the vinegar is a bonus from you. Thank you. I will be adding that to my next steam pot.
I have been struggling for the past week with horrible congestion, haven't been sleeping but today I decided to have a shower rather than a bath and stand in the steam for a hour and I have relief!! No idea why I didn't try it earlier
This treatment is legit!!! My seasonal allergies flared up, and settled in my upper chest, so I decided to give this a try. Sooo glad I did! Breathing much easier. Next, I’m gonna try the mustered plaster. Thanks a bunch!
How much did you have to try? Or how often it took, weeks or months? if you answer, I’d be very grateful
@@karinarodriguez4218 improvement was overnight. I did this in conjunction with treatment from my physician, and within a few days I had complete relief.
@@cindylcooley thanks for your reply:)
Thank you for this post! I know this ALWAYS worked for my parents and grandparents!
Sarah, do you think it’s OK to reuse the same liquid a few times? Or is it really necessary to make a new batch each time?
What a brilliant video . Great advice, simple and practical.
Hi Carolyn. Christina Hutchinson from TN here. (Met you in Muddy Pond) Robert and I moved to mcminnville tn. So excited to see you're on youtube!
thank you, i will be trying this today at 7 am while listening to healing scriptures because im tired of waking up
in the middle of the night coughing and blowing my nose and i’m pregnant and i need to go to sleep 😢
Best SHARE EVER!!! Thanks so much you guys, cuz this sick season and RONA era is the PITTZ!!! Thank you so much for this info and remedy method! Stay healthy everyone!
Hello 👋 how do you make your garlic onions syrup? i appreciate if you can share your receipt God Bless 🙏😊
Fantastic remedy and video! It works amazing!
Your kitchen is adorable. 😩🥺
I do this with just hot water. Ty this is going to help even more.
Rarely get sick, but my first adders shared , tried this and was better in a day! Thank you, many blessings
Taking some raw peppermint works very well too!!! I have some raw peppermint, put some boiling water in it, or take the pepper and add to your dehumidifier, it's excellent. After that take the leftover peppermint oil and use it as vicks!!! I made this by accident and works soooo well!!!
My Mother did this our whole life she had 9 children and her and my Dad, this works really. Really!!!!!! Thanks for posting this
Glad to hear. So encouraging to hear as well. 9 kids wow!
Thanks Carolyn, I appreciate the information. My daughter has used essential oil steam as a remedy for her sinus congestion. I'm surprised at how quickly it clears her out. I'll need to give these ideas a try too.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing. I started using Dristan nasal spray as a kid and I'm sure I was addicted to it. Finally got off of sprays and began using various tablets for many years. Though I'm sure some of my congestion is allergy related, I eventually lost my sense of smell and taste. For several months now, I've stopped using all decongestants and antihistimines, and began using sinus saltwater rinse every night with very good results. My sense of smell/taste has returned somewhat (which I'm very happy about!). I'll add your method as well and see if that also helps. Hopefully, not too much info...but if it helps someone, great!
Just found your channel and absolutely love it. Thank you for sharing
Love you video! Makes me feel cozy and at home…
I recently tried this recipe, yes it does work, 👍👍
This is awesome! I have sinus congestion and this really helps!!
I just did this but in my facial steamer (water) not vinegar and cayenne. Oh my word. It works. I have been sick for almost 2 weeks and nothing has worked. I can finally breathe.
Excellent! Found this days after testing positive. I will use this remedy for the sinus, nasal and head congestion I have! God bless you and your family.

Wow! This brings back memories. My mom used to have me do this when I would have a cold or sinus issues when I was young. It really helped.
Thank you for the information. I live in a one bedroom apartment and have been putting a big kettle on the stove filled with water and rosemary and thyme will add the apple cider vinegar as well now. Will have to get myself some eucalyptus as well. Seen lots of people hang a big shock of it in their shower. Blessings all💖🌺💖
Thanks! I will try it when I need to!
I tried it, and it worked well. I can breathe I do t know how long it will last, but it sure did help for now. Thank you.
Thank you for posting!!!
Thank you so much for this! I will definitely try it!
I subscribed because of the remedy, thank you very much, and your kitchen is the cutest.
Thank you, I will try this today.
Running a hot shower in the bathroom and just sitting breathing in the steam is excellent too.
Great video!!! Thank you 😀
I use salt water up nose to kill it but I like this better for kids. Always love the natural cheap and easy methods. Love all that you share. big fan
I am going to mix up for my husband to try, he currently has congestion, thanks!
trying this today. For 4 days I've now had bad congestion in my lungs, nasal clog & just feeling horrible. Gonna give this a try. Thanks so much!
Eucalyptus oil on chest is an expectorant too!
Did it work ?
So helpful. Thank you!
Love all you do !! You are doing a great job ! Keep up the good work !
thank you very much .i have been trying everything and also antibiotics but i did one time what you shared with us .it was a miracle . i can breathe easily
Great video! I’m excited to give this a try. Are you making a new batch each time? Could you reheat the liquid again or is it better to make a fresh batch?
Thank you Carolyn from Homesteading Family. I tried this immediately after watching. I guess years ago when I was told to go soak my head in vinegar I should have done so. Hopefully this not only kills bacteria, but anything fungal as well. I've been plagued for 2 months. Don't like antibiotics but took a course of Augmentin. Helped for a while but it got worse. Now taking Z pack. I hope this remedy helps some of the viewers. I think I'm going to stay near the stove all day long I have plenty of Bragg apple cider vinegar. 👍
Did it help you?
You can add in some thyme too.
Thank you for this 🙌🏻🌞
Excellent home remedy Thank You!
I got chest congestion without a cough will this work ?
We have the non orange under tone one picked out for our house .We do our closing walk through in the morning . Well be doing the counter tops and painting cabinets,fire place .Going to find some one that refinishes cast iron for my tub & sink .Best of luck cant wait to see everything !
God Bless you for this video. So much appreciated have been doing this with Eucalyptus and Tea Tree Oil will be trying this. I'm dealing with allergies and severe sinus issues. God Bless you.
I'm allergic to pollen and we're at the time of the year where my sinuses are kicking my ass 24/7 cause of it. Have been looking around for different remedies and steam seems to be what I'm finding the most so I'll def give this one a try. We also have recently harvested cayenne peppers that we dehydrated to make our own powder, so really hoping it helps give it some kick!
👍🏼 This is very timely! Every year this darn flu-season. God Bless You. ✝️ ❤️ 🇺🇸
Thank you a lot for this video. This is very interesting and informative. Keep posting like those amazing videos, this is awesome.
Thank you!
I just did this and feel so much better.
I would add a few drops of Eucalyptus Essential Oil to the water and vinegar mixture as well.
Oregano oil works too!
Omg this worked first try. I was all stuffy did this and I feel so much better. Going to do it 2 more times today
Thank you, going into my saves 🤗💕
This really works. It was amazing And my your popped also. It works going to be doing it again today
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!! ❤️👏
Thank you Carolyn😀! It is true, simplicity outweighs big pharma!
Thanks for sharing!!
Excellent presentation I will try it out, 2 nasal surgeries but stll congestion.
Great respect for u from India
Been looking for something natural to help me clear my sinuses
Thank you will try 😊
Instant cure? Not at all. But you feel alot better everytime you do this. Thank you so much.
Great advice
Thank you for this.. promise it works! God bless
Thanks for the tip!
Exelente remedy I will do it thank you.
God bless you 🙏❤
I need this! will be trying this! Even though its hot i'm going to stay away from colder drinks
Love the farm style kitchen
we also drink vinegar, honey and cayenne with a little water when we have cold works great. Thanks - what is that in the jar on the right behind you that looks like color of beets?
Okay this is day 12 of coughing up constant Mucous it's soo aggravating
I throw a bit of eucalyptus leaf in the bowl and steam with that. The ACV is too acidic on my throat and nasal passages because I have something called "silent reflux" which now and then leaves stomach acid in my throat. And if anything acid gets in there, it activates the pepsin which eats away at the soft tissue. So I have to put only alkaline foods down there (not alkalizing, that's different). Anyone with LPR should not use an acidic steam. Everyone else can though.
Thank you! Kim
Thank you so much! I haven’t been able to sleep for the last two days because of my nasal congestion. Was just using water vapor which wasn’t working. Then I saw your video and found a gallon of apple cider vinegar hiding in the pantry. I can finally sleep! Thank you again!
Wonderful!
I’m going to try this today. I pray it works .
Did it work??
Very good, thank you. 😎😃 I’m a big vinegar fan. Can you use the vinegar mix more thank once? Boil it again?
Or does it have to fresh every time?
Apple Cider Vinegar has so many uses! Love this and will try it! When I breathe out my nose I smell an rotten clam smell. Seems to be an infection beginning. I thought I killed it with Colloidal Silver nasal spray but I guess I should have gone the full 8 days because it has returned. Thank you for your video. So easy to do too!
how are you now?
Thank you for this
Wow thank you!!!
That steam is probably really great for dry skin on the face also!
No. Too much steam actually dries the skin. during the facial, a couple of minutes is enough to open the pores.
Thank you for sharing.tried this n it helps.God blesd
Thank you for sharing we would use the steam method with Vicks cream. I do like the method of vinegar it may less harsh but just a effective
I am so glad I watched your video. I have sinus pressure on my face.and I get drainage inside my nose through my throat. I will do the this old fashion remedy. Thank you so much. I will subscribe to your video
howd it go?
