Approach Of Homeopathic Medicine In Management Of Nasal Polyp

Abstract

Nasal polyps represent a chronic inflammatory disorder of the upper respiratory tract, characterized by  non-neoplastic, edematous outgrowths of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa. These soft, gelatinous structures often develop bilaterally and are associated with persistent mucosal inflammation, typically driven by eosinophilic infiltration, cytokine imbalances, and disrupted epithelial barrier function.

Prevalent in approximately 1-4% of the global population, nasal polyps significantly impair respiratory function, often manifesting as nasal obstruction, anosmia, rhinorrhea, and facial discomfort. Their occurrence is frequently linked with systemic conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, cystic fibrosis, and aspirin sensitivity, indicating a strong immunological component in their pathogenesis.
