This video is about nasal polyps, also known as “mookile dasha” in Malayalam. Dr. Ruksana, practicing at Dr. Ruksana Clinic for Advanced Homeopathy in Malappuram and Kochi, explains that nasal polyps are non-cancerous growths in the nose.
The video covers:
Symptoms of nasal polyps These include nasal congestion, runny nose, occasional bleeding, loss of smell and taste, a foul smell from the nose, post-nasal drip, headaches, recurrent fever, and increased snoring.
Causes of nasal polyps The main causes are frequent infections and allergies. Allergies are particularly common, often triggered by dust, weather changes, smoke, certain foods (like seafood and some fruits), or pollen.
Misconceptions about nasal polyps The video clarifies that nasal polyps are not simply a piece of flesh growing, but rather a swelling of the mucous membrane inside the nose. It also explains that a deviated nasal septum (DNS) is not the primary cause of nasal polyps, though it can coexist.
Complications Nasal polyps can lead to difficulty breathing, snoring, bleeding, accumulation of phlegm, loss of smell and taste, coughing, and even ear infections.
Homeopathic treatment The video emphasizes that homeopathy focuses on treating the underlying allergy to normalize the body’s reaction to allergens, rather than just providing temporary relief. This approach aims to permanently resolve the issue, unlike surgery which is considered a temporary solution.
Diagnosis Nasal polyps can be diagnosed through endoscopy, blood tests (checking IgE count, absolute eosinophil count, ESR, CRP), X-rays, MRI, and CT scans.
