Also read our post sleeping with an onion!

Sinus and lung congestions are effects of an lineament infection. But what happens when Congestion occurs? 

First of Congestion is caused by a weekend or stressed immune system, which then passes stress onto the main systems, but particularly the Central Nervous System. and this infection can block the neurotransmitter ACH, With this being done histamines are released into the blood and to a degree before the vascular systems dilate otherwise we would have anaphalatic shock present. So as a result we get and increase production(s) of mucous membrane.  when mucus congeals it forms a phlegm like substance that is molecularly heavier in wright both and in volume and then due to excessive stress on the main systems needs to excrete or exit. from the lungs through the airway(s) nose and throat.  So we need to do a few thing to achieve a natural countermeasure:
1. Produce antihistamines ( to counter the realease of histamines).
2. initiate and maintain  a healthy immune system for optimal healing 
3. supply demuculant(s) to the existing condition This will help expel Phlegm an uncoagulated mucus' while antihistamines begin to work.
4. use of a antispasmodic to help calm coughing due to muscular spasms of the throat( Cyane is great for this) (1 drop per 6 ounces of warm water) use as needed.

IMPORTANT! Begin the healing process nutritionally:

Providing a Lung lung and blood  detox is vital (chicory tea is a great lung detox.) dandelion and burdock root is also great for purifying the blood of toxins and neurotoxins. Secondly, WE need to regain all nutritional values to maintain a healthy immune system and main systems.I recommend the following

Another method is to take 4 cups of distilled water and once the water begins to boil add slowly 1 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar this will help break up and expel the phlegm as well as detoxify the airways of histamines.
