The thing about 'natural remedies'... is that if they're effective, there is some kind of active ingredient that does something. With proper research, you can figure out what it is, what it does, and hopefully how and why, and how to most effectively make use of it. That's what science and medicine are for.

I get sinus infections with depressing regularity too, and it's awful... I feel very draggy, like I do the bare minimum just to get by, and they go on and on and on, and then presto, antibiotics and it's gone in a day or two, and I wonder why I waited so long.

I really wish there were some advances in detecting (so you're not taking antibiotics for a cold) and treating them.
