Nasal polyps are teardrop-shaped growths that form in the nose and or sinus. They are often accompanied by asthma or allergies. Small nasal polyps normally go unnoticed while the larger ones tend to block sinus drainage. They are usually found around the area where the sinuses open into the nasal cavity.

Common symptoms:

  • Runny nose
  • Sneezing
  • Postnasal drip
  • Decrease sense of smell
  • Decrease sense of taste
  • Sinus infections/chronic sinusitis
  • Sensitivity to fumes, odors, dusts, and chemicals
  • Snoring
  • Facial pain/headache
  • Persistent congestion

 

-Frankincense has the ability to stop bacteria which makes it ideal for nasal polyps. -Melaleuca (Tea Tree) also has the ability to stop bacteria while helping to shrink the polyp and heal inflamed tissue around the polyps.

 

Neat treatment: neat means using the essential oil without a carrier oil.

  • Place one drop of Frankincense and Melaleuca on a cotton swab
  • Apply directly to the polyp
  • Repeat twice a day

 

Nasal irrigation/sinus rinse

  • Use a NetiPot or any other sinus rinse device
  • Add 1-2 drops of Frankincense and Melaleuca to your device with enough distilled water for the rinse
  • Irrigate your sinuses as directed in your device instructions
  • Dispose of the left over mixture. I do not recommend letting any left over essential oil mixture sit in the rinsing device if it is plastic.
  • Repeat twice a day

I'm a certified Respiratory Therapist who teaches Aromatherapy as self-management for short and long-term respiratory conditions. Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine which uses essential oils for natural healing and supporting the health of the respiratory system. During aromatherapy, essential oils are inhaled for the physical an psychological benefits that occur as the essential oil molecules stimulate the brain. When applied topically, the essential oils absorb through the skin and into the bloodstream. Aromatherapy is a noninvasive treatment that is used alongside other respiratory therapies to treat the whole body rather than focusing only on the symptoms and illness. Respiratory benefits of essential oils: -All essential oils are adaptogens: balancing reaction within the body. -Many essential oils are analgesics: subdue pain. -Many essential oils are anti-inflammatory. -Some essential oils are antiseptic. -Some essential oils promote relaxation and relieves stress.
