sinus and congestion cures?

I add garlic to my cooking now, but hardly use oninon as I have been told I have a sensitivity to onion which seems to affect my stomach. Good suggestion, I will have to take some more garlic supplements - I have used these from time to time. I have also found that swimming seems to help a little bit, but I am worried for my ears when I swim at the moment.

I heard on a talk show the other day that Garlic is best used raw. And even better the garlic leaves. I am no expert and I would think raw garlic would taste horrible.

thanks veganbliss. Yes I am open to it and have taken drops for dustmite and dander that was homeopathic, prescribed from a naturopath. But I was also on a raw food diet at the time, so I was probably a lot healthier! The lady I went to put my hand into a machine and read my results on a computer screen, then gave me a report of things I needed etc. My sister has also been to her when her baby was having problems and had to go on a very strict diet for a while (no dairy, flour etc) which is when i made her the raw birthday cake. Another naturopath I saw used a method, which may have been biofeedback. She had samples of many different things in a vial hooked up to a machine with a little metal prod on it, she prodded my had with the metal prod as she pressed the other end against all the different vials, the readings on the screen showed what you are sensitive too etc. I had about 38 sensitivities, hardly any of the normal things you would expect like gluten and dairy but things like bananas, pineapple (nearly poisonous to me), tomatoes, onions, soy, polyester and lots more things. Basically a lot of things I ate as a vegetarian, I was sensitive too. After stopping these things for a long period and visiting the other lady (above) she said I didn't have a problem with those things any more, except the dust. We have got the hair analysis for my dad once, so you are right, it is something I could try for myself as well.
