Adenoid-
Overview
Adenoids,
also known as pharyngeal tonsils, are a mass of glandlike tissue
normally present in the upper part of the throat, directly behind
the nasal passages. A small amount of this tissue is always found
in the throats of newborn babies. Usually it shrinks gradually and
disappears by the time the child is 10 years old. But sometimes
this shrinking process does not take place. Instead, the adenoid
tissue increases in varying degrees to form a large growth. It is
this growth that people commonly call "adenoid |

Adenoid
& Homeopathy
Commonly
the parents choose surgery for tonsils and adenoids. We do not
advice surgery because the lymphoid tissue adenoid and tonsils are
like securities against infection. Surgical removal is not
advisable. Homoeopathy is well known for the treatment of
Adenoids. If you look deep into the causative factor you can find
two basic causative factors, immunity and allergy which predispose
adenoids. If a child prone to get infections frequently, it shows
that immunity is very less. Then the process causes an infection,
which spread over the adenoids, tonsils and so on. Basically
immunity is vital so we have to enhance the immunity.
A
case from My memory
A thin
boy, 12 years of age , was brought to me on May,2001,He was in a
very unsatisfactory state; was thin ,listless, apathetic, weak in
studies and incapable of learning. His tonsils were large ,naso-pharynx
half filled with adenoids .No one could get an answer from him. He
was under my treatment and given homeopathy medicines for five
months His tonsils and adenoids much improved. He is performing
much better in school. His parents are delighted to see the
progress in every way.
To those of us who have children ,it is of some interest to know
whether enlarged tonsils and adenoids should be removed or treated
by medicines. When you cut of a tonsils or a adenoid , you
certainly get rid of it ,so you do if you shrival it with gland
tissue destroyers .But the perfect cure is where the enlargement
disappears under the influence of dynamic remedies and let them
remain to do the work allotted to them with in nature's cycle.
