Neither steroid therapy nor surgery is a permanent cure for nasal polyps. Polyps re-growth occurs in practically everyone using steroids, and occurs in about 75% of the patients undergoing surgery. This is because the underlying cause of the polyps is still there – whatever is causing the nasal passages’ cells to become irritated and inflamed is still there. Hence, after a while, fluid accumulates in these cells again, and soon enough these are pulled down resulting in nasal polyps.

The answer to getting rid of nasal polyps permanently is simple if you have understood the previous two sentences. All we need to do is to make sure that the nasal passages never get irritated and subsequently inflamed. We do this in two steps. First, we remove any possible factors that can irritate the cells – you manage allergies appropriately (e.g. did you know that you should NOT use aspirin if you are asthmatic?), you make sure that the air in your home is not too dry (get a humidifier), you avoid the use of certain colognes/perfumes and cosmetics, you avoid irritants in some common foods, etc.

The next and most important step is to make sure that the body is in an anti-inflammatory state. This will make it virtually impossible for nasal polyps to ever occur, because the cells in the body are not capable of excessive inflammation (which is required for polyps formation). This will not only guarantee that you will never experience polyps again, but will also keep you protected against chronic conditions such as heart disease and cancer. To ensure the body is in an anti-inflammatory state, you simply need to tweak your diet a bit (avoid some foods and limit others), add in one or two supplements (depending on what your diet is lacking), and add in a few minutes of breathing exercises per week.

Doing this will keep you nasal polyps free forever! Now, how do you get rid of nasal polyps in the first place? Thankfully, you can also achieve this safely, naturally, and without resorting to steroids or surgery. All you need to do is to apply some specific herbal extracts and inhale the vapour of herbal mixtures for a few minutes each day. Doing this, you will be able to cure your nasal polyps in as quickly as 4 days, especially if you incorporate some lifestyle and dietary changes. As you will be taking a natural route, you will have no risk of side effects and your polyps will shrink down faster than you ever thought possible!
