I have been using the castor oil and tea tree recipe for about a month. I was previously at my ear nose and throat Dr. last week and I was worried how it would go, to my surprise and the Doctor's, it went better than I thought. In July my polyps were extensive and now at the end of September my left side he could barely find them! I've been fighting these for years and been on every Nasal spray and now I'm not!

In response to all those asking what Gcook added to the tea tree oil- it is a natural nasal wash called "ALKALOL". I've had sinus pollyps since post 9/11 and have been using dilluted Alkalol/ sea salt washes for relief and cleansing. You can look it up. It comes in a 16 oz bottle. Has all kinds of good stuff in it including spearmint and wintergreen. Can't hurt. I'm now just trying the tea tree oil and will try mixing it with the Alkalol.

I'm in the process of scheduling my 4th surgery now as polyps have returned finally after my last surgery- end of 2011. Surgery is like mowing the lawn to kill weeds I like to say. It is not possible to get to the root of the problem- root of the weed- by mowing the lawn- cutting the pollyps out. We must get to the root of the problem. And in my experience- doctors do not get to the root of the problem. They do not have time. They give you 10 minutes per/ visit on average. All they can do is try to alleviate symptoms.

On this forum, everyone seems to have great ideas and "cure alls"- we've heard them all on here- right? I'm thinking for me- if this tea tree oil doesn't work, I'll try the most difficult suggestion on here which is eliminating sugar (under 5%) and carbs (under 10%) Sounds like a convincing argument- but all of our bodies are different. We've all come to this place from very different circumstances- remember- what cures one may not cure another. But following up with how the treatment worked in the long run on this site is super helpful to everyone- so let's try.

I will let you know how the tea tree oil works for me- with and without Alkalol. I have way up in my sinus' pollyps and did the q-tip topical application last night. It made me very congested but you often have to persevere through that to get results so I'm not going to let a few days of more congestion stop the experiment. Too much at stake. I will say- I have had my sense of smell for most of the years- save a few weeks reprieve while on a run of prednisone- or right after a surgery but last night and this morning when I put the tea tree oil doused q-tip up into my right sinus- it hit a point where it must have opened something up as I could smell the tea tree oil in my right sinus. Now I'm back to congested for the moment. I will keep you posted... And best of luck to everyone! Sinus pollyps have destroyed my quality of life.

I used Neilmed sinus rinse with five or ten drops of tea tree oil. The results were good with polyps dislodging and cleared my breathing. I have now stopped temporarily as the rinse started to reach my ear canal. Although this was very effective, I am going to try an oil droplet mix next after at least a one month break, possibly three months.

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.

Dear Raj,

I would try tea tree essential oil in castor oil. If you add 5 - 10 drops of tea tree oil to 1 tablespoon of castor oil, you can then put a couple of drops into your nostril a couple of times a day. If they are deep into your nose you may need to do this while on your back so the oil can drain to where it needs to be.

Serrapeptase also has helped many dissolve cysts and polyps. It is taken on an empty stomach according to package instructions.

Let me know how it goes!

Dear Mama to Many, wanted to update you that im starting to see slight positive effects. Last week was good, started to smell. But now although last two days have been difficult. All said and done I cant thank you enuff, after almost 2 weeks of anosmia I could finally smell my toddler sons body lotion. I used to apply him everyday after bath as I get him ready for school, after 2 full months I could smell it, I had tears in my eyes and only gratitude and blessings for you and God.

Basically I went to the ent a couple of weeks back and learnt that actually there were polyps on both sides of the nose and I could see them in the endoscopy.

I started to administer 3 drops of castor oil + tea tree oil mixture ( 1 tablespoon castor oil + 15 drops of tea tree oil) in each of the nostrils twice a day. That has helped to reduce the polyp size and help in breathing better from the nose. Mornings are better, feel fresher and breathing better, but the ac in office is so strong it causes blockage so I have told them to reduce the blow. Ive been applying your technique for a little over 2 weeks now.

Also I am inhaling steam with tea tree oil drops twice a day. Its been a month now of doing that, steam softens the nasal passages I believe.

Plus one tea spoon of castor oil upon waking up. Diet consists of fruits like oranges, mangoes, pineapples, red grapes and raw onions, cabbages, sweet potatoes. Completely cut out wheat, chocolates, cookies etc for nearly over two months now. Have started to do cardio workouts too in order to improve my breathing and stamina. That is helping a bit too. Hopefully want to start pranayama breathing like anu lomvilom and kapalbhati once the sinuses feel a little more open.

Any other things you think I should be doing?

Also how long should I do the castor oil + tto therapy? Till the polyps completely subside?

Final push will now be needed from what you suggest. I'm really now wanting a normal life Mama to Many.

Please advise.

Dear Raj,

Good news from you - exciting to hear that you are having progress! I am sure your dietary changes are helping, too.

Usually when its seems like what I am doing is working, even if slowly, I keep at it.

You might cut back some on the tea tree oil. Maybe 5 drops for each Tablespoon castor oil would work? Castor oil alone may work. I just don't like to use an essential oil long term if it isn't needed because they are so strong and can have side effects.

Have you tried the enzyme supplement serrapeptase? Or perhaps you could add pineapple to your diet because of the enzyme bromelain.

Thanks for updating! I am hopeful that your solution here is going to work completely for you!

Dear Vina,

I have mixed castor oil and tea tree oil in a small glass bottle with a glass dropper to get an oil that can be used in the nose. I put about 2 T. castor oil plus 5-10 drops of tea tree oil into the bottle. Then I drip a few drops into each nostril. It is helpful to be on your back for this and nice if there is someone that can do it for you. I have done this once or twice a day or as needed.

I have used very diluted essential oils in a nasal rinse.

  • 2 ounces distilled or boiled and cooled water
  • 1 drop essential oil (tea tree or other)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

I put it in a nasal spray bottle. If it feels too strong, I add another 2 ounces of water to the above recipe.

I have been using a castor oil carrier with tea tree oil 10ml to 10 drops twice a day for a month now, I haven't noticed any improvement in fact it seems slightly worse but this may be the progression of the condition. I have also tried adding ACV to the Neil Med nasal rinse without any improvement but did not persevere with this as I found it unpleasant and seemed to irritate the polyps making them worse.

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 have nasal polyps since 1992, three surgery, too much steroids, nose spray, antibiotic, etc... I lost my since of smell and I cannot tell if the juice that I am drinking is mango, orange or something else. My Dr. , like all others, keep telling me that I will not die because I have polyps, but die with it. Last week I was so frustrated and I ran out off my nose spray, my nose was blocked, cannot sleep, I was upset and losing my patience with anything, so I decided to Google for answer and I found this guy online that claim to have a cure that I am looking for 20 years, and I bought his eBook for $37 and most of what I read was not something new, but was the first time I heard about Tea Tree Oil.

What the hell, I have nothing to lose and as his directions I start to wash my nostrils and apply TTO with QTips, my polyps is located all the way inside of my nostril, so the QTip did not find a clean and open way to the back and it hurt a little bit until reach the polyps, it burned when ran to my throat and outside my nose, it burns everywhere that it touch. First day was too bad and I had an impression that my polyps got worse, my nose was running for hours and I had some bad headache. So I applied TTO two times (morning and afternoon) I washed my nose with salt water about 30 minutes before use TTO, on the second day I was already able to sleep breathing thru my noise, and I could not believe, I am not saying that it was 100% clean, but was great. I notice some blood coming out of my nose when I sneeze or blow it out, today is my third day and I can admit some improvement and I could breathe thru my nose most of the day and I cannot wait to have a nice sleep night, my right nostril is still 50% blocked, but the left side is clean, I want to say 100% clean but I cannot believe yet.

The TTO is not burning like before, I am still using two times a day, early in the morning and around 4pm, I don't want to use right before to go to the bed because I still get some running nose for may be 2 hours after apply TTO.

Beside the TTO I am taking OMEGA 3, 6 and 9. I am eating lots of fruit, salad, Zinc, vitamin complex.

I will keep giving some updates. Good lock for everyone.

Hi, just an update from my last post, Sunday 19th August 2012: on 23rd August I stopped using the TTO as it made my nose completely blocked and would run for about 2 hours after use. I am not going to do this again, EVER. Sorry to those who swear by it. For me it is a waste of time as it feels like i'm going backwards.

I am still on my no sugar diet but have reintroduced carbs as I realised that I was becoming so weak that I could not think properly. I am on my forth week of the no sugar diet and still no results. I DID however get my smell back for about 2 hours in the evening on Saturday 1st September and it was sensational! But it went as soon as it came, pretty much. I am using my Micromist still three times daily. No sugar is a killer as I crave sweet things but I guess it's healthier and good for my teeth. So when my dentist asks me how I got such amazing teeth my answer will be "polyps" ;)

If this diet does not work after 1 month then i'm going to try something called 'Sinus Wars 13'. It's supposed to be a cure at about £70 a bottle. It's not a natural cure like the no sugar diet, but i'm desperate. I hate this condition.

I will keep y'all posted. Thanks.

Peace!

Hi guys, Just another update. After using a bottle of pills from a website that is supposed to cure polyps, I am about £50 down and my nasal polyps are still as bad as they were previously. What a con! My next mission is to get another professional allergy/intollerance test and cut out anything that shows up on it. I am really desperate now as my nose is really blocked all the time even with the micromist nasal spray. I asked my GP to refer me to a hospital in London on the NHS for a specialist who is the best in the UK apparently but he said that I would have to go through the local hospital first to get the referral as the London hospital would not fund it for me as i'm not in the region or something. Very annoying!

I am cutting out sugar at the moment because I feel this helps a little until I get my results from the allergy testing back. I really want to get a steroid spray or drops for the condition again as this is the only way to bring me back to normal for a while. I actually considered suicide briefly because it's so horrible living with this and I feel so embarrassed at work blowing my nose all the time. I wonder what people think of someone who fears social events because their nose is blocked - its crazy. I hate it so much. I will probably have another operation to remove the polyps and if I do then I will stay on a strict diet with only water, no bread, no sugar, low carbs etc and see if this helps.

I am going to also try tea tree oil again but not on cotton buds, in a spray bottle with distilled water as it seems to help a lot of people on here.

I will keep you posted with my progress.....

PS. I am getting sore throats a lot due to breathing with my mouth all the time and stress...

Hi, just reading about the reaction your having and being put off using TTO.

Nobody seems to be using TTO on its own as the nasal passage is very sensitive. You need to mix with something else to make a weak solution. Read the previous comments and they suggest mixing TTO with distilled water for a nasal spray or with castor oil for use with a cotton bud(q tip)

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.

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 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!!!!.

Hi Sushma,

Glad to hear that you are too from Hyderabad, Me to from same place :)

I bought it from amazon. Not any particular brand, I went for TTO which has good user comments and rating.

Regarding other question: How long...hmm my personal answer is till polyps disappear. Actually I used to do nasal irrigation for long time. so Just added few drops of TTO into solution as I written. But be careful, dont add too much because it stings. TTO is generally not for internal use they say external use only. You can Qtip method 3 drops of TTO mixed with spoon of olive oil or castor oil(castor oil should be hexane free) and using qtip just massage the solution over polyp if its really visible. If not visible, then saline irrigation would be right choice. Hope this helps.

You are one of the most conscientious people here posting back about your ongoing experience. My heart went out to you after reading your postings. I know exactly what you're going through. It's so awful trying things and not getting the promised results, especially when they are costly. I've been dealing with these polyps for years. I had an operation and they came back, I lost my smell for 25 years and now they are at their worst and I hardly sleep now because they have turned me into a "mouth breather" :) I tried putting the tea tree on the polyp with a Q-tip and I too got the runny nose and was sneezing for hours but no relief. Once I made a nasal spray of 1/4C distilled water and 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp baking powder and a piece of hot cayenne pepper in the water and boiled it for a minute and took the pepper out and put it in a spray bottle. Ouchiwawa!! What a nice pick me up but, even better, at the time, it worked. I was able to breathe again and I got my smell back for 2 years with continuous use. It was amazing. But this time, it hasn't been working. Don't know why. Maybe because they are so big now. sigh

Anyhow, all the best to you and hope you found some relief.

Tea Tree oil oh ya

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.

Posted by Ron P (Wisconsin) on 05/09/2018

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.

Today is day 2 of using tea tree oil for nasal polyps.

First I do a nasal wash using a saline solution then about half an hour later I apply a mix of virgin coconut oil and tea tree oil (30% VCO to 70% TTO) via q tip directly into the nostrils 2x daily. My left nostril is ok but my right nostril l gets blocked mostly while I sleep.

So far I could feel some improvement. I also mixed some tto into my saline nasal spray and started to use it too. I'll try to update on my experience. I'm hoping it will work for me as I've been suffering from hayfever and lately these nasal polyps.

I was recently told by my ENT doctor that I would need surgery to remove a 9mm nasal polyp, and correct a deviated septum. Also to drain the sinuses once this was removed. And there may be others as my nose was too inflamed to look into. She tried the steroid/antibiotic course and ran a CT scan indicating surgery was required. I also have asthma and allergies to pet dander (yes I have animals), but I've had animals for 9 years and by using Zyrtec, they're mostly controlled. I have to wonder how I now have this. I lost my sense of taste and smell over a year ago. When on the steroid/antibiotic course, my taste and smell are restored. Also, I have no problems breathing out of my nose. So I can't understand for the life of me why this surgery is needed.

I've read the testimonials from people who did the tea tree oil but have to ask, is that safe to use internally on a mucous membrane? Any advice will be accepted, anything to get out of surgery.

I'm 47, overweight 200 lbs. And on meds for allergy and asthma. I suffer from migraine headaches, which become worse because the polyp is blocking my sinuses, increasing the intensity and frequency of the headaches. I get them about every 2 weeks and see a chiropractor regularly.

Good evening, I'm very pleased to inform you that with your guidance and Gods Grace I am much better. Breathing has become better and so has the smell. Cant express how it feels to eat food and smell normally. Health is wealth indeed! I shall post my entire regimen soon so that it helps other people looking for a cure.i am administering the castor oil + tto mix now only once in the night as im trying to ween off the mix while tto in steam inhalation twice a day.

The mix is in the same proprotion that you suggested : castor oil + 5 drops TTO. I am nearly 1.5 months with doing the steam inhalation and one month since administering the castor oil + tto in the nostrils. Till when do you suggest I do this? I havent tried serrapeptase, although im eating pineapple and my citric content in the form of fresh orange juice or mandarins is on. Also I eat mangoes since the Vit A seems to help too.

Quick qn, can I slowly start eating wheat flour? Thanks

Dear Raj,

Well, a setback is discouraging, but you have made great improvements in the past and I trust you will again.

Since you know castor oil and tea tree oil work, perhaps that would be something to continue.

But obviously you wish to have the polyps gone permanently.

Essiac tea may be an option. It has helped many with all sorts of growths. It is not difficult to prepare or take.

I think I have mentioned serrapeptase, a supplement you take on an empty stomach. It is reported to get rid of growths, polyps, etc.

I think the tea tree oil is safe for mucus membrane. It is one of the more gentle Essential oils. Along with using 2 drops peppermint 2 drops lavender on temples and behind ears for headaches. I have some huge polyps I am going to try it on.

If you are scared to use undiluted you can mix with Castor oil (which is also good for inflammation)

mix 1TBSP oil + 10-15 drops Tea tree.

Dear ~Mama to Many~

Thank you so much for the quick revert. I did try this for a couple of days sometime back but observed that while putting the oil through the nostrils some of it would get swallowed. Hope that's fine as I already swallow a teaspoon of castor oil upon waking up. But since its tea tree oil hence wanted to check if its safe if it gets ingested.

But it feels really nice to hear from you. Need your guidance and blessings in this tough phase of mine.

Castor oil should be okay for long term use. I try not to use essential oils longer than needed, so perhaps try just castor oil a couple of times a week as a maintenance dose? If it begins to get worse, you could go back to the 5 drops per tablespoon of castor oil.

I am excited for you and know your experience will be helpful to others!

Hello Mama To Many, I've had surgery for nasal polyps and now they are returning. I have lost my sense of smell for about 15 years. I would love to be able to smell again. I was wondering how do you do the TTO and the castor oil. I use nasal rinse with saline twice a day. but this is now working. Please help. Thanks

GSK from London, I used a nasal spray bottle that I gotten over the counter from the pharmacy, poured out the contents and used my mixture. Pour the [nasal rinse] in the sinus bottle about 3/4 full then pour in the tea tree oil the remainder of the bottle and shake gentle. NO water, then you can use the spray as much as need. It is strong but it works...

Hi, GCOOK, do you think you could make the mix a little clearer? What exactly are you putting into the spray bottle? It sounds like first you fill the sprayer 3/4 full with the nasal spray that originally came in the sprayer. What kind of spray is that, what are the ingredients? Then you fill the remaining 1/4 of the sprayer with the tea tree oil, or is that a mix of tea tree oil and isoprophyl rubbing alcohol, or something else? Half and half or what? Thanks so much for sharing.

Oops. By "You" I meant Doeboymcjc who came back a few times to update. Thanks for that. Also, correction:

I put the Tea Tree Oil on a cotton ball (not the Q-tip) and that's when I teared up and sneezed for hours and it had no effect. Haven't been too conscientious on the Q-tip method though. It's difficult after so many failures to "keep on plugging" but, if I do the Q-tip method daily, I will post back either way.

Best, Annette

Be very careful with tea tree oil. After about 3 days of use (cutips on the polyp) and then with my nose running, the oil came back out and burned the outside of my nostrils. The nostrils became very chapped with little cuts to the skin. I would suggest diluting the tree tea oil with another oil like olive or sesame. I quit using it. It took a week for it to heal. Now I am trying castor oil.

West Texas wind has done more than damage my sinuses. Allergies run rampant year around. I have had polyps for 3 years with no relief till I found this website. Thank you for suggesting the tea tree oil. You have made me very happy again!!!!

If you are unable to reach the polyps put two drops of tea tree oil in each nostril and inhale deeply. Do this twice daily. The blocked airways will clear up and the nasal polyps will shrink and 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 have samters also and haven't been able to smell anything. Let me know if you find a way to smell again. Also why do you think the salicylate free diet didn't work? I thought that was the main cause of the symptoms?

Is tea tree oil safe to use on my dog? She is an 80 pound lab with a nose polyp that is blocking her entire right nostril. If so, what ratio should it be diluted? It would be so wonderful if this works for her! Thank you

I was recently advised that tea tree oil in certain quantities and long term is toxic to animals. What that quantity is I don't know. The quality of the oil makes a difference. Did you use it and how did it turn out? Thank you.

Dear Mama To Many

hope all well, its Raj from Dubai.

Its been a great last 2.5 months up untill Sat. The weather change in Dubai got me under the weather on Thu, friday I had a sore throat and from sat on the same symptoms have returned. Blocked sinuses, green phlegm release, ear pressure, nasal mucosal thickening, anosmia :((((

I must admit I was trying to ween off the castor oil plus TTO mix and was fine as well.

But now since last 2 days ive restarted to administer the mix application in both the nostrils. Also doing steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil to loosen the phlegm in the morning and night. My diet has already been altered hugely since May, no wheat or gluten or extra processed sugars. Fruits, salads, etc form a good part of my diet. Went to the ENT on sunday and he did an endoscopy, the two polyps are still there on each side, but somehow I felt them a little reduced in size from before though.

I am really fed up now, please could you assist with some insights? 'Im really facing trouble with this, plzzzz help Mama to Many

Hi Gcook, thats great! A little more info would be really useful please.... How much TT are you using, what type of alchohol is its and I assume you are diluting it in water. I want to try this method. Thanks

Posted by Wpwpoet (Citra, Florida) on 02/26/2013

What great information. I have just now started using the tea tree oil, I mixed it with distilled water about 60% to start and 40% tea tree oil. I put it in a nasal spray bottle, shake real good and spray... What a rush. I will see how it goes but that first spray helped.

@Doeboymcjc might be right. I used to cure myself of Hives + Nasal polyps by eating a lot of Watermelon and Fresh Grapes every day. Both have alot of water content, which are SLOW RELEASE. Having Hives and Nasal polyps now ALTOGETHER again... let me try again, this time round with more salt.

Posted by Annette (New York) on 01/06/2015

Yes Gcook. I too would like to know what the other ingredient you are using was. Was it 3/4 Alcohol and 1/4 Tea Tree? Ouch!!! But, if it works, I'll give it a try. They are just about showing out of my nose now. Awful.

Someone mentioned Tea Tree oil. And "alkolal". What is "alkolal"? Do they mean alcohol?

Tea Tree Oil
Posted by Darius (Denver) on 10/20/2015

It's called alkalol. It's like a viscous water or even closer to an oil. Pharmacies carry it.

Posted by Jonna (Pittsburgh Pa ) on 12/10/2015

Hi, how much alkolol and how many tea tree oil drops per how many ounces in your saline rinse bottle? I have polyps in my sinuses so I don't think I can use a q-tip. Thanks!
