November is drawing to a close, and as is the case in the Northern Hemisphere, winter is arriving, so temperatures continue to drop, rain persists in some areas, and all of this means that respiratory illnesses are on the rise. Both my husband and I were sick from October through November with a terrible virus, similar to COVID. We're feeling better now, although I still have a cough and sneeze. My husband was left with a lingering case of rhinitis, which he's never had before, and it's very bothersome for him, which is understandable.
To clear up the infection, the doctor prescribed antibiotics for a week. While the pain in her face subsided, her nose remains blocked most of the day, and the unpleasant odor and pressure in that area persist. Therefore, we opted for a natural alternative, specifically pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) capsules, as we currently don't have any pigeon pea plants available. In my country, Venezuela, this plant is called Quinchoncho, and it is a grain consumed in many areas of the country, although where I live its consumption is not very frequent.
The medicinal properties of pigeon pea are concentrated especially in the respiratory system, as it acts as an anti-inflammatory and mucolytic, decongesting the nose and sinuses. This is very important in eliminating respiratory conditions such as rhinitis, making it a useful adjunct to this treatment. It also helps strengthen the immune system, which is important in the healing process.
This medication is manufactured by a laboratory with decades of experience in the production of natural medicines, using high-quality products produced under strict quality control standards throughout the entire process. They even cultivate the plants used in the manufacturing process. Each capsule contains 300 mg of pigeon pea leaf powder, and the recommended adult dosage is two capsules twice daily. The instructions do not specify a maximum duration of use.
My husband has been taking these capsules for a week now, so it's too early to know if they'll be enough to clear up his respiratory condition. He's told me he feels less mucus in his nose and sinuses, but the condition persists. I know that nasal washes with a decoction of pigeon pea leaves are very effective for treating rhinitis, so we're thinking of using the contents of some of these capsules to make a concentrated decoction and applying it as a nasal wash for my husband. I think this will help him.

Oh, my friend, I'm so sorry to hear that you had such a bad virus. I understand exactly how you feel. I think the worst part is the nasal congestion; that feeling of not being able to breathe is so frustrating. Speaking of which, the first time I heard about quinchoncho capsules was when my son was in the middle of a respiratory crisis due to a deviated septum. At first, I didn't have much faith in them, but they really worked for him. He took them preventively for a while, and they helped him a lot: for a long time, his nose didn't get blocked again, and he didn't need nasal drops. I hope you and your husband get better soon 🙏
Hi @mergusa88
This virus is very strong; I suppose it's a souped-up version of COVID. Yes, having a stuffy nose is very unpleasant and frustrating. My husband is taking these capsules daily, and I've told him they might take a little while to work, so he should continue with the treatment. He's also doing nasal rinses with distilled water and baking soda—of course, not daily, but every two or three days—and it helps a little. I hope he recovers soon too.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind comment. Have a wonderful day.
