Nasal polyps, non surgical remedies?

Research I've done shows that surgically removing nasal polyps is only a temporary solution and that by the time patients are released from the hospital, the polyps have already started to regrow. I have no taste or smell, are there other ways to shrink polyps so I get my smell and taste back ???

    Oral corticosteroids: The time-tested medical treatment for obstructing nasal polyps is oral corticosteroids. The nonspecific anti-inflammatory agent quickly and substantially reduces the size of the inflammatory polyps and improves symptoms. Patients whose polyps respond to oral corticosteroids may be re-treated safely 3-4 times a year, especially if they are not candidates for surgery. The mechanism of action of corticosteroids is unclear. One study showed that corticosteroids induce apoptosis in inflammatory cells in human nasal polyps in vitro.

    As a Nasal Polyps sufferer for 8 years, I was skeptical of anything that promises to heal polyps in days. I got in touch with Manuel Richards any explained my case together with my skepticism.

    After asking me some questions, he told me that what I had was Samter's triad and assured me that with his guidance I'd be free of not only the polyps, but of other long-term symptoms I had. He told me there were specific foods that I had to strictly avoid due to my condition, and gave me precise steps that I needed to do every day.

    Barely 10 days later, my polyps are completely gone, my sense of smell if back to normal, I no longer get headaches and I feel more energetic than ever!

    I cured my nasal polyps permanently and naturally

    Most treatments are temporary.

    Effective and efficient non-surgical solutions include the perusal of herbal remedies such as:

    Bayberry as a snuff powder

    Castor oil to be applied externally

    Goldenseal oil as cooling astringent to relieve the clogging of the nose

    Non-surgical treatment consists of cortisone or steroids taken via a nasal spray to reduce the swelling of the polyp. Patients may also be prescribed oral corticosteroids if the nasal spray is ineffective.

    Allergy medications may also help to reduce symptoms and swelling from nasal polyps. Nasal polyps tend to recur, so many of the non-surgical treatments are applied after surgery to remove the polyp has taken place.
