0 Why Do I Keep Getting Nasal Polyps?

Question:

I have had nasal polyps several times. These always opening infections and breathing difficulties, which get worse as winter approaches.

Answer:

Polyps are small fat growths attached by a stalk to the surface they spring from. They can occur in different parts of the body, including the lining of the nose where, as you say, they affect the respiratory process. The nose is primarily a course for vent to enter the respiratory system. It too functions as an utter-conditioning routine so that utter reaching the alveoli in the lungs (the intention branches of the respiratory tree) is the same temperature as the corpse and has  sufficient moisture so the alveoli dont become dehydrated and unable to function properly. If the nasal tract is blocked by polyps or other factors (eg, a composed or sinus fulfill), this system is affected and the mouth and throat dry up and feel sticky.

The voice we inhale must too be filtered to exclude particles. Smaller particles - pollen, dust, mites allergens are filtered by microscopic hairs called cilia in the watery mucus that covers the nasal lining. Large particles - sand, sawdust, small insects -are trapped in the chambers behind the nostrils. It's uncertain how nasal polyps are caused, but since they are more trite in state who have asthma or rhinitis  (inflammation of the mucus lining of the nose and throat), one possibility is that the mucus lining of the nose is reacting to trapped allergens and particles. The corpse tries to oust them by producing mucus and sneezing, as in hay fever. If the allergy is chronic, rhinitis develops, with blocked nose and chronic congestion.

This thirst-term execute of mucus below the external layer of cells makes the surface inflate relish a water bed. As the trapped fluid grows, it forms polyps, which are tiny fluid-slow balloons. Although polyps are favourable grounds (ie, not carcinogenic), they are annoying and can, as in your case, worsen in winter or  during the hayfever season. Once formed they generally practice contract unless treated.

Breathing through your nose is distinctive for general wellbeing. It's thought that the electromagnetic wave created by the to-and from bearing of vent molecules tones up the pituitary-hypothalamic region of the sarcasm above the back of the nasal route. This controls the corpse's hormonal and immune functions, so a blocked nose makes you fed tired and unable to concentrate.

If polyps can't be seen by the naked eye, a doctor may ask for a nasal endoscopy (when a viewing instrument is inserted into the nasal tract) and/or a CT scan. The most familiar medical treatment is a corticosteroid spray, which shrinks the polyps over several weeks. Larger polyps may be distant-off-off-off-off-off by an endoscopic procedure, followed by a steroid spray or a passage of oral corticosteroids.

I recommend the following

Diet

* Reduce mucus production by avoiding cheese, milk yoghurt, ice cream, ice cubes, chilled drinks, yeast-containing foods, coffee, alcohol, mushrooms, spicy foods and excess sugar.

* Take one teaspoon of freshly juiced source ginger with a tiny manuka honey, once daily for a month, to better dry mucus and subside allergic reactions.

Treatments

* Sinus Oil : Put two fall in each nostril and attempt to sniff it up; this helps to decongest, the nasal tract and sinuses. Do this daily for two months.

* Lauq sepistan: half a teaspoonful twice daily for one month; alternatively, take Peppermint and Pipali Formula : four daily for three months  to aid dry up the excess mucus.

Nasal douching

*Dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a neti pot slow with lukewarm water. Breathing gently through your mouth, tilt your head to the left, insert the nozzle into the privilege nostril and slowly pour in the water, which will trickle down the surrender nostril and pour out of the left. When half the pot is empty, intent and tilt the head to the other side, repeating the presence. With large polyps, the water may not come out smoothly, but twin improve as you do this daily for two months. Blow your nose afterwards to dry the nostrils and practise a cleansing breath exercise: sit or sand comfortably, confidential your mouth and opinion straight ahead. Inhale fully through your nose, then exhale speedily, snapping your stomach in. Pause briefly, then inhale slowly. Repeat 25 times.
