Beetroot juice for sinusitis: choose a recipe and use it correctly

Sinusitis is an insidious and dangerous disease. The maxillary, or maxillary, sinuses are located below the eyes on both sides of the nose. Inflammation of at least one of them leads to this unpleasant disease, which affects both adults and children. The number of cases increases during the cold season. The weakening of the immune system in the autumn-winter period leads to the fact that bacterial and viral flora more easily penetrate the body and actively multiply in it.

There are a number of medications, mainly penicillin and tetracycline antibiotics, which effectively kill pathogenic flora. But treatment becomes more effective in combination with unconventional methods. One of these auxiliary ways to combat various sinusitis, including sinusitis, is the use of beet juice. Let's look at how to prepare and use folk medicine.

Also, the fight against bacteria is facilitated by a general increase in immunity when using this product.
