Nasal Polyps is an inflammatory disease characterized by abnormal lesions that originate from any portion of the nasal mucosa or paranasal sinuses. It is a relatively common disease, occurring in 1-4 % of the general population, but is rarely described in the pediatric population. Nasal polyps in the pediatric population appear to occur as inflammatory responses to bacterial infections and it could represent an alert sign for other underlying systemic diseases.
In Ayurveda, nasal polyps can be correlated to Nasarsas described by Susrutha and Charaka Acharya according to its symptoms. We at IAFA® under the guidance of Dr. Sahil Gupta provide safe and effective herbal remedies for ayurvedic treatment of nasal polyps.
