| NASAL POLYP Definition: A polyp is the swelling of the lining of the nose, which is usually due to long-standing inflammation of the lining of the nose. Polyps look like small grapes and can appear singly or in clusters in the nasal cavity. They are collections of inflammatory cells, fluid, and tissue. Common symptoms associated with polyps are nose block forcing an individual breathe through mouth, running nose and sneezing, reduced sense of smell and taste, etc. The common causes for developing polyps include sinus infection and allergy to various agents. Studies indicate that patients with asthma and rhinitis have more chances of having nasal polyps. HOMOEOPATHY & NASAL POLYP Homoeopathy believes in treating the patient who is diseased rather than treating diseased organs and parts of the body. Homoeopathy approach works at the root level. Suggestion about homeopathic treatment: Homoeopathy is strongly recommended for management of nasal polyps, especially when they are small in size. Timely administered homoeopathy medicines help avoid surgery and its inherent complications. Moreover, it is very common for the condition to recur even after surgery. Homoeopathy has preventive role to offer by which chance of recurrence is minimized. |
