How to Reduce Chronic Sinus Infections Naturally
Recreated Health’s Guide to Clearing Sinuses, Supporting Drainage, and Addressing the Root Cause
Chronic sinus infections are more than just an occasional nuisance. For many, they’re a year-round source of congestion, headaches, fatigue, and brain fog—often with little relief from traditional antibiotics or over-the-counter decongestants.
Your symptoms are the body’s way of communicating a deeper imbalance. If sinus issues keep returning, and the root cause is not addressed, that inflammatory response could spread into other areas of the body including your brain, nervous system, digestive tract, and other tissues throughout the body. This article will help you move from merely masking symptoms, to understanding how to address why your sinuses are inflamed and congested in the first place.
Let’s talk about natural ways to reduce chronic sinus infections, featuring:
- How to properly use a neti pot or Naväge
- How to use herbs, such as those found in Cellcore’s Para 3, as a powerful tool for deep sinus cleansing
- And how this all fits into a whole-body drainage strategy based on insights from Dr. Shawn.
What Causes Chronic Sinus Infections?
Recurring sinus infections are often caused by more than just bacteria or environmental allergies. Here are hidden root causes that keep inflammation alive:
- Mold and environmental toxins
- Parasites and microbial overgrowth
- Food sensitivities (especially dairy and gluten)
- Poor lymphatic and sinus drainage
- Biofilms that trap bacteria and toxins
- Suppressed immune function
If you’ve tried antibiotics multiple times or live on antihistamines, but still can’t breathe clearly—your root cause hasn’t been addressed!
Step 1: Support Drainage with a Neti Pot or Naväge
When your sinuses are congested, your lymph system is overloaded, and toxins are trapped. Using a nasal rinse system like a neti pot or Naväge is one of the most effective daily practices to reduce inflammation and improve detoxification through your sinuses.
What Is a Neti Pot or Naväge?
- A neti pot is a small ceramic or plastic pot used to flush warm saline solution through your nasal passages.
- Naväge is a more modern device that uses gentle suction to flush saline through your sinuses for deeper cleansing.
How to Use It Properly:
- Mix a safe saline solution: Use distilled or sterile water with a saline packet (or mix ½ teaspoon of sea salt and a pinch of baking soda in 1 cup of warm distilled water).
- Lean forward and tilt your head to the side over a sink.
- Pour or suction the saline through one nostril—allowing it to flow out the other.
- Blow your nose gently, and repeat on the other side.
Do this 1–2x daily during sinus flares, or 3-4 times per week for maintenance.
This practice helps:
- Remove mucus, allergens, and toxins
- Break up biofilms and bacterial buildup
- Encourages lymphatic flow and drainage
But even with regular rinsing, if there’s a deeper infection or parasitic presence, we need to go beyond the surface…
Step 2: Target Parasites with CellCore’s Para 3
Here’s how to clean your sinuses at the deepest level.
Dr. Shawn has highlighted that chronic sinus infections often involve parasites—especially if mold exposure, digestive issues, or histamine sensitivity are also in the picture.
What Is Para 3?
Para 3 is a potent liquid herbal formula by CellCore Biosciences that targets parasites, fungal overgrowth, and other microbial infections. What makes it so effective is:
- It contains thyme, epazote, black walnut, tansy, clove, and holy basil —herbs known to break down biofilms, disrupt parasite life cycles, and support drainage.
- It’s in a liquid tincture form, which allows faster absorption into tissues—including the sinuses, lymph nodes, and brain.
Dr. Shawn recommends placing 1-3 drops of Para 3 directly in distilled saline water used for nasal rinses (with guidance from a practitioner). This allows for localized application, helping to:
- Clear pathogens from sinus tissue
- Reduce biofilm entrapment
- Lessen mold-related inflammation
* Always use Para 3 under practitioner guidance, especially when using it in nasal rinses.
Why Para 3 + Sinus Rinses Work Better Together
This combo gives you both a physical and antimicrobial cleanse:
- Neti pots/Naväge flushes and physically removes debris, mucus, and allergens
- Para 3 targets the deeper root causes—parasites, fungal overgrowth, and lingering infections stuck behind biofilms
This synergistic strategy is ideal for anyone who has:
- Tried antibiotics without long-term relief
- Experienced recurring sinus congestion or infections, year after year
- Struggles with post-nasal drip, brain fog, or sinus headaches
- Has a history of mold exposure or gut infections
Step 3: Open Up Drainage Pathways
Sinus detoxification doesn’t work in isolation—it’s connected to your lymphatic system, gut, liver, and kidneys. If your drainage pathways are clogged, toxins from your sinuses can recirculate, creating more inflammation.
Focus on a drainage-first approach, which includes:
- Regular bowel movements (at least 1–2 daily)- consider a supplement like bowel mover.
- Liver and bile flow support
- Mitochondrial energy for cellular waste removal
- Hydration + minerals (to thin lymph and support detox)
This whole-body drainage support helps relieve pressure, swelling, and recurring congestion—from the inside out.
Step 4: Eliminate Inflammatory Foods
Certain foods thicken mucus, block drainage, and feed microbial overgrowth in the sinuses.
To reduce sinus inflammation, we recommend removing:
- Dairy (a common sinus irritant)
- Gluten and corn (immune triggers)
- Processed sugar (feeds candida and pathogens)
- High-histamine foods (like aged cheeses, alcohol, vinegar)
Instead, nourish your body with:
- Fresh fruits and veggies
- Anti-inflammatory herbs (ginger, turmeric, oregano)
- Hydrating broths
- Clean proteins (grass-fed, pasture-raised, wild-caught)
* Bonus Tip: Drink warm lemon water in the morning to support drainage and liver detox. This is a great daily habit to also prepare your stomach and digestive tract for the incoming food that day.
The Missing Link: Nervous System Regulation
Dr. Shawn also reminds us that you can’t detox if you’re stuck in fight-or-flight mode. Chronic sinus issues are often worse in people who are:
- Constantly stressed
- Shallow breathers
- Struggling with sleep, anxiety, or burnout
When your nervous system is dysregulated, your immune system is offline, and drainage slows down.
Add in daily practices like:
- Deep nasal breathing
- Vagus nerve stimulation (cold exposure, gargling, humming)
- Grounding outdoors
- Magnesium baths
This shifts you into a parasympathetic (rest and digest) state, where your body can truly heal.
Bonus: Consider Functional Testing
If sinus infections persist despite detox and dietary changes, consider functional testing for:
- Mold toxicity
- Parasitic infections
- Food sensitivities
- Liver and bile function
- Histamine intolerance
We offer guidance and access to these tests at recreatedhealth.com so you can get to the exact root cause of your sinus inflammation.
In Summary: How to Reduce Chronic Sinus Infections Naturally
Let’s bring it all together:
- Use a neti pot or Naväge with distilled water and saline multiple times per week.
- Incorporate CellCore’s Para 3 to target parasitic, fungal, and microbial root causes (with practitioner support).
- Open drainage pathways through hydration, movement, gut support, and minerals.
- Cut inflammatory foods that block healing—especially dairy, gluten, corn, and sugar.
- Regulate your nervous system so your body can detox and repair efficiently.
- Test, don’t guess—functional labs can uncover hidden blocks to healing.
