How to Prevent Nasal Polyps?

"You must be very scared of surgery" said the doctor, while putting down the camera after he had inspected my nostrils.

What a humorous doctor. I was just too busy and too careless.

A surgery to remove the polyps is deemed unavoidable. However I have to go through a CT scan (cat scan) first in order to make a diagnosis - to identify the scale and the coverage of the polyps.

I never expect I could get involved with nasal polyps. I did not even know when and where did I get the cause and when did it actually started.

Nasal polyps are growths that result from inflamed mucus membranes in the sinuses and nasal passages. They can extend to the opening of the nostrils, or even down to the throat area. These growths can block the nasal passages.

Nasal polyps are often related to other chronic diseases and tend to last for long periods of time. They can even grow back after medical treatments or surgical removal.

However after scrolling through information on the internet, I read that there is a natural method to prevent the nasal polyps, the procedure is as the following:

Do the pranayam for 30 minutes twice daily to get rid of the polyps gradually.

Once the polyps have disappeared, do the anulom vilom for 20 minutes daily.

Your feedback will help hundreds in your situation:

Build up your timing gradually. If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute.

Anulom Vilom pranayam –

Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril

then – close left nostril with two fingers and breath-out through right nostril

then -keeping the left nostril closed deep breath-in through right nostril

then - close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril.

This is one cycle of anulom vilom.

Repeat this cycle for 15 to 30 minutes twice a day.

Children under 15 years – do 5 to 10 minutes twice a day.

You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed. Remember to take deep long breaths into the lungs. You can do this while sitting on floor or chair or lying in bed.
