Nasal Microbiome

Spanish black radish is a natural remedy that supports sinus drainage and sinus health. Applying 1–2 drops of diluted kimchi juice to the sinuses is the recommended dosage for microbiome restoration. A 2012 study of 20 patients identified a meaningful shift in the nasal microbiome in people with chronic sinusitis. The sinuses are lined with a mucous membrane that hosts a community of beneficial bacteria acting as the first line of defense against pathogens. Kimchi contains beneficial lactic acid bacteria that can re-establish a healthy sinus microbiome by displacing pathogenic colonizers. Kimchi juice microbiome restoration works best as a follow-on therapy after acupressure has opened sinus drainage.
