Treatment of adenoids with homeopathy

Along with allopathic drugs, homeopathic remedies can be used for enlargement of the pharyngeal tonsil. Does homeopathy help with adenoids and why?

The effectiveness of the alternative method of treatment is still disputed by representatives of traditional medicine. Despite this, the popularity of therapy for ENT pathologies with diluted drugs is steadily growing.

Homeopathy is a special type of immunostimulating therapy that has a beneficial effect on self-regulation processes. The systematic intake of drugs with a low concentration of the starting substances that cause the disease stimulates the activity of the immune system. An alternative method of treatment accelerates tissue metabolism and biochemical reactions in epithelial cells, as a result of which hyperplasia of the pharyngeal tonsil slows down.

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is one of the alternative treatments that use small doses of drugs that, in high concentrations, can trigger signs of a particular disease. In contrast to rational pharmacotherapy, the following principle operates in homeopathy - the treatment of like with like. According to the adherents of official medicine, the composition of alternative therapy drugs includes negligible doses of active substances, so the effectiveness of the active ingredients is practically zero.

Despite the lack of official confirmation of the effectiveness of the drugs, homeopathic treatment can prevent the growth of adenoid vegetations at the initial stages of the development of pathology. The composition of medicines includes small doses of elements of animal and plant origin. They do not cause allergic reactions, therefore, they can be used to treat ENT pathologies in patients of any age.

Can adenoids be cured with homeopathy? According to practical observations, alternative therapy stimulates redox reactions in the body. The expressed therapeutic properties of homeopathic medicines include:

  • restoration of the drainage function of lymphoid tissues;
  • increased cellular and humoral immunity;
  • acceleration of regeneration processes in the mucous membranes of the ENT organs;
  • elimination of toxic substances and allergens from the body;
  • acceleration of the regression of catarrhal and purulent processes in the foci of inflammation.

Important! The dosage of homeopathic remedies can be determined only by a specialist after clarifying the etiological factors in the development of adenoid vegetations.

What determines the effectiveness of homeopathic medicines? The composition of medicines includes components borrowed from nature: enzymes of animal and plant origin, nosodes, i.e. microvaccines (diphtheria toxin, blood plasma, tuberculin). Subsequent dynamization and processing of active substances activates their therapeutic properties of drugs.

Treatment of adenoids

Adenoids are hyperplastic lymphadenoid tissue that makes up the pharyngeal tonsil. The enlargement of the immune organ leads to obstruction of the openings of the Eustachian tubes and nasal passages. As a result, there is a violation of the functions of nasal breathing and the auditory analyzer. If the growth of soft tissues is not stopped in time, this will entail the development of salpingootitis, mastoiditis, sinusitis, ethmoiditis, sinusitis, etc.

Treatment with homeopathic remedies stimulates the activity of the immune system, thereby reducing the frequency of recurrence of infectious diseases. It is the septic inflammation of the nasopharynx that provokes an increase in the activity of the amygdala, which eventually leads to hyperplasia of the adenoid tissue.

Medication and homeopathic treatment gives the desired therapeutic results only in the case of slight enlargement of the adenoids.

The key task of homeopathy is to inhibit the development of adenoids. The dosage of drugs and the duration of therapy depends on the stage of development of the adenoids, symptoms and dynamics of the progression of pathological processes. If the treatment is not completed on time, the clinical manifestations of the disease can be eliminated only if the hypertrophied organ is removed.

Nasal preparations

Can adenoids be cured with nasal homeopathic remedies? Nasal preparations contain in itself substances that normalize the outflow of lymph from the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Due to this, the evacuation of nasal secretions is accelerated, which is a favorable environment for the development of pathogenic agents. Nasal agents stimulate mucociliary clearance, which prevents the development of bacteria and viruses in the respiratory system.

To facilitate breathing and relieve swelling from mucous membranes, it is recommended to use homeopathic nasal remedies such as:

  • "Euphorbium-spray" - a spray of antiallergic, immunostimulating and anti-edematous action, which helps to restore the functions of the ciliated epithelium;
  • "Nasonex" - nasal drops with a pronounced antiphlogistic, antiallergic and analgesic effect; used to treat chronic rhinitis and septic inflammation in the nasal cavity;
  • "Adenopay" is an antiseptic and wound-healing herbal remedy that prevents the development of pathogenic bacteria and viruses in the nasal mucosa;
  • "Adenoidnet" is a nasal spray that has a wound healing, immunostimulating and disinfecting effect on the nasal mucosa and lymphoid tissues of the pharyngeal tonsil;
  • "Riniltiks complexon" is an intranasal preparation of antiseptic and decongestant action, which improves the outflow of mucus from the nasal passages and paranasal sinuses.

It is undesirable to use herbal remedies without a doctor's recommendation in the presence of an allergic rhinitis. It should be understood that adenoid vegetation grows rapidly, therefore, it is impossible to prevent tonsil hypertrophy exclusively with nasal drops. To speed up the healing process and restore the physiological size of the pharyngeal tonsil, one cannot refuse to take traditional anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antimicrobial agents.

Preparations for children

Children are more susceptible to allergic reactions than adults, so when choosing homeopathic medicines, you should consult with your doctor about the appropriateness of their use. Depending on the dynamics of the regression of pathological processes in the tissues, it may be necessary to adjust the therapeutic course.

If you treat adenoid vegetations on your own, this can lead to even more proliferation of lymphoid tissues.

Chronic rhinitis, inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eye, allergic reactions are concomitant symptoms of adenoids that occur in about 45% of sick children. To stop inflammation and ease the course of the disease, you can take such homeopathic medicines:

  • "Job-Malysh" is an immunostimulant with a pronounced anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect; it is used to treat adenoid vegetations, chronic inflammation of the paranasal sinuses and nasopharyngeal mucosa;
  • "Staphyzagria" - an analgesic anti-inflammatory drug, which is used to treat adenoids, frontal sinusitis, sinusitis and allergic rhinitis;
  • "Sinusitis-Nosod" is an injection solution that is used to treat chronic pathologies of the ENT organs and suppurations in the mucous membranes; prevents the development of pyogenic bacteria, thereby reducing the risk of abscesses in the laryngopharynx;
  • "Nazentropfen C" - a homeopathic nasal remedy that increases tissue reactivity and local immunity; used in the treatment of adenoidiotics complicated by sinusitis, sinusitis, otitis media, etc.

Medication overdose can cause diarrhea, bloating and flatulence. The above medicines can eliminate catarrh of the nose and coughing attacks, which are often exacerbated at night or immediately after waking up. The advantage of homeopathic medicines is the systematic nature of their action. They not only stop the manifestations of ENT pathology, but also contribute to the elimination of mental disorders, which often arise due to the development of hypoxia.

Symptomatic treatment

Treatment of adenoids with homeopathy is one of the safest and most effective methods of eliminating the symptoms of adenoid vegetations. For this reason, approximately 64% of the homeopathic remedies produced can be purchased at a regular pharmacy. To eliminate nasal congestion, snoring, postnasal mucus leakage syndrome and swelling of the mucous membranes of the ENT organs, the following medications can be taken:

  • "Aconite napellus" is an antipyretic agent that has a pronounced antitussive effect; it is used to eliminate the symptoms of colds and tonsil hypertrophy in the fornix of the nasopharynx;
  • Arsenicum album is a reparative decongestant used to treat rhinitis and nasal congestion;
  • "Nux vomica" is a mucolytic anti-inflammatory drug that dilutes and accelerates the evacuation of mucus from the nasal cavity;
  • "Gelsemium" - a phytopreparation of analgesic and antipyretic action, eliminating the symptoms of myalgia, fever and inflammation of the respiratory system;
  • "Pulsatilla" is an antiphlogistic and antiallergic nasal remedy that helps to relieve the symptoms of chronic and allergic rhinitis.

Restoration of normal patency of the nasal canals prevents stagnant processes in the nasopharyngeal mucosa. This contributes to an increase in local immunity and tissue regeneration of the pharyngeal tonsil. It should be understood that only an integrated approach in the treatment of adenoids and retronasal angina can quickly achieve the necessary therapeutic results.

Antiallergic drugs

Allergy is one of the main reasons for the proliferation of lymphoid tissues in the nasopharynx. Pathological reactions lead to inflammation of the ciliated epithelium and disruption of mucociliary clearance. In this regard, septic inflammation often occurs in the nasal cavity, provoked by the reproduction of opportunistic microorganisms.

To reduce the concentration of pathogens in the respiratory tract, the pharyngeal tonsil begins to produce more immune cells. Over time, the increased work of the immune organ leads to an increase in the number of structural elements in the adenoid tissues. This is what causes the formation of benign tumors that obstruct the nasal passages.

How to cure adenoids? Restore the drainage function of lymphoid tissues and choanal patency using the following homeopathic medicines:

  • "Koffea 6" is a sedative drug that has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the nervous and immune systems; eliminates burning, swelling and inflammation in the mucous epithelium of the nasopharynx;
  • "Belladonna 3" is an antiallergic agent that interferes with the production of arachidonic acid, as a result of which the concentration of inflammatory mediators in lymphoid tissues decreases;
  • "Alumina 6" is an antihistamine herbal remedy of decongestant and antipruritic action, relieving the symptoms of allergic rhinitis;
  • Sinupret is a mucolytic decongestant that accelerates the dilution and excretion of phlegm from the nasal cavity and laryngopharynx;
  • Rhus toxicodendron - anti-inflammatory medicine that relieves the symptoms of rhinitis and vesicular rash in the mucous membranes;
  • "Chamomilla" is a sedative, analgesic, decongestant and immunostimulating drug that has a beneficial effect on the body's resistance.

Most homeopathic remedies include herbal components that have toxic effects. To prevent the negative consequences of an overdose, it is advisable to consult a qualified homeopathic physician before using medications.

Regenerating agents

Adenoids not only interfere with normal nasal breathing, but destructively affect the tissues surrounding the amygdala. To speed up the healing process of the mucous epithelium, it is necessary to take reparative drugs. They stimulate cellular metabolism, which has a positive effect on the regeneration of the glandular tissue.

To restore the nasopharyngeal mucosa, the following can be used:

  • "Arnika" is a herbal preparation with a regenerating action that improves trophism and epithelialization of the mucous epithelium; accelerates the regression of catarrhal processes and restoration of tissue integrity;
  • "Barita carbonica" is a vasoconstrictor that promotes the resorption of infiltrates and granulations in the epithelium; prevents hyperplasia of adenoid tissues, which leads to the restoration of the normal size of the amygdala;
  • "Eucalyptus viminalis" is a fortified wound-healing drug that increases local immunity by accelerating epithelialization processes in the mucous membranes of the respiratory system;
  • "Hydrastis" is a mucolytic agent with pronounced reparative properties; stimulates the excretion of mucus from the nasal passages and the healing of soft tissues;
  • "Agrafis Nutans" is an anti-inflammatory disinfectant that accelerates lipid and protein metabolism in lymphadenoid tissues.

Timely started treatment of adenoids with homeopathy allows you to eliminate the manifestations of pathology without surgery.

Unlike traditional pharmacotherapy, phytopreparations gently affect the respiratory system and do not create an excessive load on the kidneys. With the correct preparation of the treatment regimen, the manifestations of adenoid vegetations can be stopped within 2-3 months.

Popular drugs

The official pharmaceutical market is replete with homeopathic medicines that are recommended for the treatment of ENT diseases, in particular adenoids. Most of them include herbal ingredients, which allows homeopathy to be used not only for therapeutic, but also prophylactic purposes. Popular pharmacy homeopathic medicines include:
