Jamu Recipes For Nasal Polyps
PATHO-PHYSIOLOGY:
Nasal polyp is the distension of the swollen lining of the mucous membrane of
the inside of the nose. It creates protuberances that look like small, pearly grapes
and can appear singly or in clusters. It is harmless, but may often block the
nasal passages making it difficult to breath and sometimes affecting the sense
of smell. Nasal polyps are caused by an over production of fluid in the mucous
membrane lining in the nose. People with chronic allergies and sinus infection
are at the highest risk to have them
