I have suffered for more than twenty years from chronic sinuses and nasal polyps with mno sense of smell and having a lot of mucus. Despite blowing out regularly, blockage never cleared: I had an operation in March 2019 but never enjoyed the results as by October 2019, I was back to blockage from polyps. The only treatment that gave two weeks clearance is Madrol/prednisolone which: there was zero response to nasal sprays including nassonex.
I started using tea tree oil 5 drops+ castor oil teaspoon+5 drops iodine(😀)+5 drops extra virgin oil(😀) then thoroughly mixed them in a bottle. I then put two drops of this concoction into each stuffy nose on 08/03/2022 and today 10/03/2022 is my day 3 AND just on day two I could breath a bit on one nose and slept breathing better with it. Today on day 3, 💪💪💪👍👍for the first time without prednisolone/medrol, I can blow out my nostrils with clear thin mucus unlike the "usual" former brownish thick one. I can sense smell though it is not such perfect and the asthma that I was taking seretide twice daily has improved such that I am so far on day 2 without taking it.
I just want to thank everyone who has shared their experiences here for now my life has improved and I hope for perfection.
Please share the alcohol treatment that I came across here on one of the posts as a deterrent for recurrence of polyps: I cannot afford to go back there: my life is better than after operation.

Hello all! I tried this remedy but soon could taste the concoction dripping down my throat. Tea tree oil is supposedly poisonous and since our sinuses drain into our throats somehow is this dangerous? Would love to try again but worried.

This would be too strong for a child. Make a nasal spray using 1oz distilled water or saline 1 drop Tea Tree Essential Oil and 1/8th tsp sea salt or pink salt. Shake well and use as often as needed. If this seems to help you could add 1 more drop of tea tree oil.

Dear Ellie,
Perhaps try the castor oil alone first? Then consider very diluted tea tree if that is not effective.
Vitamin c and Nettle tea internally are two things I would consider for boosting the immune system and perhaps helping reduce the polyps.

Hi, it's supposed to dry it up (white layer) then eventually fall off.

I have suffered nasal congestion for 2 yrs now, and the doctor's findings maintained that it is polyps blocking nasal air passages. On October 9, while searching for natural solutions via Google, I discovered the use of TTO and a carrier oil helps. I began to to use TTO and Olive Oil, and hope that it works well...Is this solution working? Secondly, is there any known side effects? Can someone please tell the successes of using the TTO ...Please

I tried Tea Tree Oil with carrier Coconut Oil for my nasal problem. I had lost sense and could not smell for long time. I tried TTO 5 drops with COO 10 drops and I regained smell and fragrances recognition within 24 hours onwards. My nasal polyps are very large and have tried TTO & COO for last 3 days.
I have to wait to tell my experience regarding shedding and reduction of my nasal polyps.

Use any pure coconut oil without any additives. First try double drops of coconut oil drops count with tea tree oil. slowly you may change the ratio as per your comfort level. I am following this line.

I'm getting a bit desperate now as I have tried the usual steroid nasal sprays etc, a salicylate free diet, Chinese herbs, Enhanced oxygen therapy, Salt caves, TTO, and ACV. I have been diagnosed with Samters Triad which seems to have been brought on by a three week visit to China four years ago where I stayed in a very polluted part of the country.
I think my immune system is still fighting the pollution I experienced in China rather than me having a sinus infection.
I suppose my next course of action will be to try gluten free, dairy free and low/no sugar diets.
Does anyone have any suggestions.

I think tea tree oil is too strong esp inside a nose . What we should strive for is to administer natural remedies that are effective without causing great discomfort to yourself .
I think.....you should change your strategy to using turmeric powder . Turmeric is known for centuries for its many beneficial uses. Mix with water to make paste and insert it onto the trouble spot!!!! continue every day 3 times...see what happen .
It should dry up and don't peel the scab!!!! let it heal!!.
Stop blowing too hard!!!.
If possible....draw all phlegm to the back of the throat and cough it out!!!!.
Good luck!!!!.

Try some fresh root turmeric, ginger and lemon juice steep in tea cup and drink twice daily...
Good Luck!

For 6 days now I have been administering tea tree oil mixed with olive oil to my husbands nostrils with ear buds. Twice a day. Two wipes per nostril as high as it is comfortable for him. They have shrunk and have receded much further up his nose. I can barely see them now. More importantly his passages are both clear and he can breathe.
He has also been taking some generic allergy tablets...two in am and two in pm. He has also been drinking apple cider vinegar every evening...a small shot glass.

Did the q-tip with 50/50 WATER/Tea Tree Oil - stuck them in all the way so the other end was just popping out of both sides for 30 min. And wow after dealing with this for 3 years it cleared up, now I am gonna do prednisone to open it all up so I can get up to the top so I can smell again an start rinsing the rest out. Great group on here.

I would not use prednisone if they have already shrunk so that you can breathe - it is only for short-term use and has some nasty side effects. I would do a nasal rinse with Tea Tree Oil to reach farther and it should help to finish the polyps. Then I would just continue to use a nasal rinse once a day to keep them away.
