Drink Houttuynia cordata, and sinusitis won't stand a chance!

**Drink Houttuynia Cordata, and Say Goodbye to Sinusitis!** **Enthusiastic Netizen (Strolling Through Life, QQ: 463888823):** Hello, Teacher Hu, I’ve shared so many of your home remedies from your space. Now, I’d like to contribute one of my own. This is something my husband used, and he hasn’t had a recurrence since. It’s about drinking Houttuynia cordata steeped in hot water to treat sinusitis (both fresh and dried work). The key is consistency! At the time, three of my husband’s sinuses were completely blocked, and surgery wasn’t an option. A doctor friend of mine (who practices traditional Chinese medicine) recommended this, and it worked really well. I’ve been recommending it to friends for about ten years now, and they’ve been drinking it ever since. Since starting, none of them have had a recurrence! Maybe it’s because they’ve gotten used to it, but now they only brew it when they have classes (as university professors). It’s said that Houttuynia cordata is mainly used to draw out pus. **Contributor:** Teacher Mu Shuyu **Appendix:** **Houttuynia Cordata Remedy for Sinusitis (Method 1):** Extract the juice from fresh Houttuynia cordata, filter it, and use it as nasal drops three times a day, 2-3 drops per nostril each time. This method is effective for chronic sinusitis or atrophic rhinitis. **Source:** *Medicine and Health Care News* **Houttuynia Cordata Remedy for Sinusitis (Method 2):** Take 30 grams each of Houttuynia cordata and Isatis root, 20 grams of Angelica dahurica, 15 grams each of honeysuckle, forsythia, magnolia flower, and platycodon root, 9 grams of xanthium fruit, and 6 grams of Szechuan lovage root. Decoct the ingredients twice, mix the resulting liquid, and take it morning and evening. Additionally, use Houttuynia cordata liquid as nasal drops. In a clinical trial treating 44 cases of sinusitis, all were cured. Among them, 41 cases showed no recurrence within two years, while 3 cases experienced a relapse. **Contributor:** Dr. Chen Xiuyuan, Chief Physician
