105. Sinus Congestion "Stuffy Head"

Chronic sinus congestion can be indicative of chronic dysbiosis (abnormal intestinal flora and increased intestinal hyper-permeability) in both the small intestine and more importantly in the sinuses themselves. New research has linked a chronic fungal infection with chronic sinus infections. Many people with chronic sinus congestion have had numerous courses of antibiotics to treat the infection, with no success. This can also contribute the dysbiosis in the small intestine. Another possible cause of sinus congestion is a need for hydrochloric acid (HCL).
