Tonsillitis: Adenoids
What Are Adenoids?
Adenoids are spongy tissues inside nose, similar to tonsils, which tend to get swollen due to infection or allergies; leading to blocked nose.
What are the Symptoms of Adenoids?
Due to recurrent infections or allergies, adenoids tend to get swollen. Sometimes, to such an extent that they blow the nasal passage, leading to blocked nostrils. It can be very severe if if the swelling is huge. Swollen adenoids would lead to mouth breathing and hence a tendency to keep mouth open all the time.
What Does Homeopathy have to Offer?
Homeopathy helps to treat the underlying infection, allergies and thus reduce swelling of adenoids. It can help avoid surgical removal of adenoids in most cases, especially if the adenoids are not huge in size, blocking the nasal passage to great extent.
Tonsillitis: Structure and Functions
Anatomy of Tonsils: The Structure
The tonsils consist of two glandular tissues similar to hundreds of other lymph glands in the human body, present on either side of the back side of the throat. They are normal body organs just like lungs, skin and eyes. They are visible just behind the tongue, when the mouth is opened with slight force. They may vary in size. They are soft to touch and may either be bright red or pink-grayish in color.
Physiology of Tonsils: The Functions
Tonsils, like any other body organ, have a specific role to play. Rather, tonsils have been allotted the vital task of checking if there are certain intruders such as bacteria, virus, allergens, etc attempting to attack the human body. Tonsils being lymphoid tissues, they produce the special cells called Lymphocytes. The Lymphocytes are similar to the white blood cells (Leukocytes) with which they form an immunological network of self-defense.
Immunology of Tonsils: The Inner Power
As said earlier, the tonsils work as a filter which fights and protects the entire human system against the foreign organisms. They also help preventing spread of infection from the nearby organisms such as mouth, sinuses, postnasal part, etc. Tonsils produce antibodies, which fight against the infection, stopping its further spread to other parts of the body.
When the bacteria or virus attack the body, they initially have to face the tonsils. In the process of fighting towards the germs and microbes the tonsils get inflamed (called tonsillitis) which is simply a symbol of the local defense mechanism at work. In the process, they produce lymphocytes, and antibodies to generate the required immune response. When you see the tonsil infected, inflamed and swollen, actually you are seeing the tonsils at work.
However, it is not implied that the inflamed tonsils do not need treatment. They do need treatment with a scientific attitude. They need to be treated but not to be necessarily removed! Compare them again with the soldiers fighting at the battle field, who need special care but not removal from the battle field unless they are seriously injured or incapable of doing their job!
What is Tonsillitis?
Tonsillitis: Introduction
Tonsillitis is simply inflammation of the tonsils. (Tonsils/itis, where itis means inflammation)
Causes
Major cause is the infection. Certain bacteria (Most common being streptococcal group), viruses, and allergens are known to produce Tonsillitis. Tonsillitis may also occur as a result of certain allergy to food-preservatives, artificial colors, etc.
Why Does One Get Tonsillitis?
Tonsils may be considered as two guards standing at the entrance (throat) and protecting the human system against a wide range of intruders such as bacteria, virus, allergens and the like. Tonsils are natural protectors and vital organs of self-defense mechanism of the body. They are like the soldiers fighting on the border who get injured (inflamed) protecting the country.
When the internal immune system is low or weak, one tends to get infections. Tonsils work towards protecting us against the infections. Inflamed tonsils or recurrent tonsillitis is the result of low immunity and not the cause of it. The treatment should be targeted towards enhancing the immunity and not by removing the tonsils!
Medicines of Tonsillitis
What are the Sources of Homeopathic Medicines?
The homeopathic medicines are prepared from a wide range of natural sources. Over 5% of the medicines origin largely from the vegetable kingdom, i.e. flowers, roots, leaves and the juice.
Certain chemicals and minerals are also used to prepare certain medicines. For instance, sulfuric acid, nitric acid. Most of the minerals and metals are used as a source of medicine, such as gold, silver, zinc, tin, iron and so on. Some microbes, bacteria, virus are also used to prepare a special group of medicines (called Nosode), for instance, influenza virus, certain bacteria, etc. Some body secretion such as the hormones (thyroid hormone, for instance) also find place in the wide source-place. The animal kingdom has a special place in the Homeopathy pharmacy and Homeopathy medicines are prepared from the animal sources almost in a onviolent technique.
How are the Homeopathic Medicines Prepared?
The revolutionary method of drug preparation in Homeopathy, called as Potentization, utilizes a very minute quantity of the original drug substance. A very small portion of any substance, say a drop of Thuja herbal extract, as one part, is mixed with 99 parts of alcohol or distilled water. Some powerful strokes are given to this mixture of about 100 drops/ml. It makes 1c potency. (Potency is the unit indicating the strength of medicine.) Now, out of these 100 drops, one drop is taken and mixed with 99 drops of alcohol, again to undergo the process of vigorous strokes, making the potency 2c. The process is continued higher level up to 30c, 200c, 1000c, 10000c, 50000c, and 100000c.
No Material, Only the Medicinal Power
As you can realize, there is infinitesimal original drug substance in the higher potency medicines. Actually it crosses the Avogadro’s limit. There is no detectable material in the potency higher than 24. What is left behind is the power or energy of the medicine. One may call it dynamic power, which is capable to induce definite changes in the body system to bring about the healing process.
Absolutely Safe and Non-Toxic
As you can see that the special method of homeopathic medicines render them absolute free from any toxic substance in it. The medicines thus are absolutely safe and free from any side effects. They are safe for even babies and pregnant women.
