Horseradish - Herbal remedy for Sinusitis: Horseradish dissolves mucus. One half to one teaspoon (3–5 grams) of the freshly grated root can be eaten three times per day. Horseradish tincture is also available. One quarter to one half teaspoon (2 - 3 millilitres) can be taken three times per day. To clear excess mucus from the sinus, combine the juice from the horseradish root with the juice of 3 lemons. Take a half teaspoon between meals for several months until the mucus in the sinus clears.
