Sinus Problem, Frequent Attacks Of Cold. Does Garlic Extract As Natural Remedy Effect The Testosterone?
read that garlic extract may increase testosterone, but have also read it might lower it as well. very confusing. I wish to take something more natural for my sinuses which seems to never clear up. Feels like I have a cold every day and I wake up either stopped up or blowing stuff out all the time. Don't like to idea of taking a antibiotic much. Did go on two different rounds of it earlier this year. didn't seem to help much. What is your thoughts on this?

dont think garlic extract has any untoward effecton testesteron.But if you have an assumtion that it has----you have other things too.
Your sinusitis is lilkly to be allergic in origin.the problem on waking up suggest it's bed dust allergy. I would suggest following things to control the problem.
1) Keep your bed &pillows &blankets dust free.
2)to avoid direct exposure to cold cover your sinuses with a clean &thin cotton cloth
3)Take 1/2 lemon in a glass of hot water (as hot as tea)-the first thing in morning. High dose of Vit.C will increase your resistance.
4) take water vapour inhailation with Tulsi leafs/Eukaliptus extract in the water)
5)get yourself tested for allergegs by allergy specialist. &avoid exposure to the allergens. You Can take Desensatisation treatment to have a permanent solution.
