Surgery-Free Healing: Homeopathy for Nasal Polyps

Nasal polyps are soft, painless, noncancerous growths that develop in the lining of your nose or sinuses. Nasal polyp symptoms include nasal congestion, runny nose, headaches, loss of smell and taste, nosebleed, postnasal drip, breathing through the mouth, sleep apnea, snoring, heaviness of the forehead and face.

On July 23, 2023, a 40-year-old male patient with a Patient ID:52040 consulted at Life Force Homeopathy's Jayanagar Branch for nasal polyps, a condition he had been dealing with for 20 years. His symptoms included nasal congestion, mouth breathing, sneezing, and itching of the nose and eyes, and headaches. He experienced severe episodes of these symptoms 2-3 times a year, each lasting for about 15 days. During severe episodes, he relied on Nasivion Classic Adult 0.05% Nasal Spray as needed.

During the consultation, a thorough case history was taken, covering both his physical and mental health. Additionally, his past medical treatments and family medical history were discussed and updated.
