Can olive leaf cure sinusitis?
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the membranes lining the sinus cavities in facial bones. It is caused by viral, bacterial or fungal infections, allergies, autoimmune diseases or irritants such as smoke or chlorine in swimming pools. The inflammation typically causes a build-up of mucous produced, by blocking the drainage holes into the nasal cavity. The congested mucous is now a breeding ground for secondary infections. Good reports have been received regarding the eradication of the infections mentioned by olive leaf tincture. It also has anti-inflammatory properties which may improve mucous drainage. It will however not prevent the initial inflammation due to allergies or irritants. This needs to be addressed to achieve a permanent solution in cases of recurring sinusitis.
