My ears have been stopped up for a month

My sinuses are so congested that I can't hear as well as normal. Once in a great while they will unplug for a few minutes but then plug right back up. I've tried Sudafed and I've tried different severe congestion cold medicines with no help from any. Does anyone know of an herbal remedy for this? No health insurance so doctors are a last resort. I use a lot of herbal remedies with great results. Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Try this in your hot steam humidifier, but if you dont have one, boil thyme leaves 5 minutes in a pot and then turn to simmer. Put a towel over your head, lean over the steam and inhale, preferably thru your nose. That should do it. If not, add a teaspoon of carraway seeds in with the thyme, reboil, set down to simmer and repeat.

I am going to try that right now! I drink thyme tea when I have a cough. It works great. I never thought of your idea. Thanks!

I too suffer from sinus, and at times it give me problems.Y dnt to try to take vapour regularly.As you are more ofa herbal n nature loving person so try yoga,specially breathing process and "neti".Neti is the process of cleaning the internal.Its tough one so make sure to learn it from a experienced person. It will help you in long term. one more thing u can do when ever your ears get blocked , warm some mustard oil, mind it just mild warm to your bearing capacity not boil,n put two to three drops of warm oil in your ear. Homeopathy claims 100% cure for sinus. All the best hope that you get well soon.
