Kate (Brooklyn, Ny) on 01/29/2015:

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.

Nasalpolyp (New Jersey) on 10/04/2013:

Hi, my husband has been suffering with nasal polyps for some months. The ent prescribed predinosone and though it helped, it hasn't been eliminated and it was still bothering him. He was even thinking of surgery when we found this information about tea tree oil recently...

08/11/2011: Gary from Sacramento, California, Usa replies: "Try Tea Tree Oil applied directly via a Qtip. The polyp will fall off in about 3-4 days."

He started using a few drops of it in distilled water (to his comfortable level), and put some drops with a nasal spray into his nostril. After 1-2 weeks, he feels like the swelling is mostly gone.

The other day he went to the ent, the dr put the endoscope in his nostril and they said they couldn't see the polyp. He showed them the picture of the polyp that the dr took before, but to his amazement, the dr said it's gone. Thanks to God for showing us this treatment. Just wanted to put it out there in case it may help anybody else.

I tried the tea tree oil recommendations on my sinus polyps and they are gone. To ensure the never come back, I mixed tea tree oil with alkalol in a old sinus spray bottle and use twice a day. Last Friday; a sinus polyp fell out and I have been smelling every since. It works! I had this problem going on for eight years with two surgeries to no avail........

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!

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.

I read this post last wedenesday for my Wife and tried out with Tea tree oil using Q-Tips for her. She had a polyp that had been threatening to almost show out from one of her nostrils on wednesday. We used tea tree oil in the morning and evening and the polyps have shrunk quite a lot. I would say up to 50% in just 4 days! We are both quite amazed and I really wanted to let the world know. Try this out.

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.

Thanks to Gary for posting about tree tea oil.. I was skeptical at first but decided to give it a go.... The first couple of days my insides of my nose had a burning sensation that lasted maybe 30 seconds but after 5 days of continual use, I could not believe it. I could breathe through my nose again. It has been almost 3 weeks since. Still breathing through my nose and just using a nasal rinse to keep my nasal pasages moist. Thanks Again

I came across this link and tried Tea Tree Oil applied with a Q-tip. It made the polyps worse and I am miserable! Headache and hard to sleep b/c lack of air. The polyps have become larger! Try one nostril first if you decide to try this method!!

Hey guys thanks a lot for suggesting Tea Tree Oil for Sinus Polyps. I have been using that for 4 days now and my polyps are falling off now. Seriously guys try it. You can buy it on Ebay for like 5 bucks for a 10ml bottle.

I also know of another remedy using manuka honey, distilled water and a "Neilmed Ready Rinse" bottle. You put a teaspoon of the honey and fill the bottle with distilled water and use it to irrigate your nose. Its really good at killing the bacteria in your nose and removing the bad odor. Supposidly its supposed to get rid of the polyps but I wasnt beeing constant with it. Your supposed to try it 2 times a day and then to 3 times a day when you get comfortable with it. Still it does a really good job.

JBohn (Denver, CO) on 04/17/2025:

This worked really well. I am so glad I stumbled upon this. I was starting to think maybe I had a deviated septum and would need surgery for it but I didn't really want to go into the doctor yet to check it out. When I would plug one side of my nose, I could barely breathe out of the other nostril and when I felt the inside of that nostril it felt like a bump on the septum of my nose. I mixed a teaspoon of castor oil with 5 drops of tea tree oil and applied it on the inside of both nostrils with a q-tip. I then thought that might not be enough, so I laid on the floor and tried putting a few drops in each nostril. A few hours went by and all of the sudden it felt like my nostril opened up. I kept applying the tea tree/castor oil mixture through out the rest of the day. At night time when I was laying in bed it felt like my head was just draining all this mucus. When I woke up in the morning, my sinuses felt clear like they hadn't in a long time. Usually I wake up with a plugged nose and have to blow my nose each morning.

I really want to thank you for your guidance and discussions on this platform.

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.

I am using Tea Tree Oil for last 20 days. I started using for Polyps reduction and removal through shrinking and eventually dropping off. when I started I diluted using coconut oil. But now I apply TTO directly 10 drops in each nostril three times a day. one day a one inch long destructed probably polyp came out in part. This reinforces that the process is going on. I get yellowish nasal waste every second day indicating something is getting cleared. My smell senses have also increased immediately after the usage which was zero earlier. Now I have also started Ayurvedic Support Medicine which is also very very helpful. This is a proprietory medicine for respiratory and asthamatic disorders.

TTO oil is good for polyps as of now.

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.

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 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.

Tea tree oil and apple cider vinegar treatment for nose polyps

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.

Prasanth (India) on 08/08/2016:

Hi All,

This is Prasanth from India. First of all I would like to thanks a ton for this website who actually founded it. This is Miracle website which cures ailments.

Coming to me, I was a great suffer for sinusitis due to nasal polyps which is visble. I am afraid of surgergies so when searching for natural remedies I found this website by god's grace. wow. It was horrible yesterday, miraculously seeing some improvement after following below steps:

Day 1:

Mixed 5 drops of tea tree oil into one spoon of Caster Oil (hexanne free) one and had put it into both nostrils two drops each. (instead of qtip ) Initially scared to put tea tree oil, but how ever my suffering with nasal polops gave me force to use it. I have used it.

It is not much strong so to cause sting..I have added more caster oil for safeside.

Next thing I have done is, nasal rinse(water+ saline powder + two drops of tea tree oil into it) and then used this as Rinse solution. It clease most of bad stuff inside. I see little blood it it..

Day 2:

I have now added a 1/4th of spoon of ACV (Apple cider venigar) into my nasal rinse solution(water+sinusair saline powder+1/4th spoon of acv) and then did the nasal irrigation...

wow this combination seems to be very well than tea tree oil combination.. It did not sting much..

To my amazement, I noticed my nasal polyp shrunk noticeably than yesterday....

WOW god bless this website and who found this solution...It seems to be working, I am going to update this post I am going to try this solution contineously..

I really thank this website, I hate of surgeries and fear of it, some how Tea Tree oil and ACV comes to rescue...

Cedric Low (Malaysia ) on 07/31/2016:

I have nasal polyps since 2014 as diagnosed by ENT doctor, a surgery is the only solution according to the doctor. Since then I try to find every possible solutions besides surgery as he told me it will grow back again after the surgery, and no guarantee it will cure them forever and need to use nasal steriods for the rest of my life. I cant smell anything for like years, good food, followers etc. I am so fade up, try every possible solutions besides surgery but it did not cure, my polyps grew even bigger almost pop out from my nostril! I am so fade up! Thank god I found out this website, the solutions given here by using Tea Tree oil and castor oil really helps! After using it for a month my nasal polyps shrink and bring my smell back!

What I do everyday are:

1. Using Sinus rinse 4 times daily mixed with 2 drops of Tea Tree essential oil every wash.
2. Using Qtip (each nostril once) to apply tea tree oil which I mixed with Castor oil as carrier oil (10 tea tree oil + 1 table spoon of castor oil, put it in small container so I can use it for many times), 2 times daily.
3. 1 teaspoon of castor oil everyday
4. Apply Aloe (4 drops each nostril) after rinse my nose, 2 times daily.
5. Wear mask when go out or in kitchen to keep away the allergen (as my case is Mold Allergy/alternaria)
6. Sleep early everyday between 10pm - 11pm to let my body fix and heal itself.
7. Exercise half to 1 hour daily and make sure to sweat everyday, drink a lot of water to replenish my body fluid.

I am so happy today, after years of struggle and fighting for sinus problem and cant smell anything for years, finally I am able to smell the aroma of coffee and my surrounding! It felt so wonderful after years of suffered and it finally heal and getting better day after day! Im so grateful, even though I still cant breath normally using my nose as the polyps still there, but they are getting smaller, and I believed one day it will cure by itself and I can breath like a normal person. I also read the book Secret by Rhonda Byrne and apply the technique to believe my nasal polyps can be healed one day and let the universe do the work. Thanks again earthclinic.com and people here to share their experience. I hope who suffered nasal polyps benefited from my experience. All the best!

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.

Kate (Brooklyn, Ny) on 01/29/2015:

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.

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!

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.

I read this post last wedenesday for my Wife and tried out with Tea tree oil using Q-Tips for her. She had a polyp that had been threatening to almost show out from one of her nostrils on wednesday. We used tea tree oil in the morning and evening and the polyps have shrunk quite a lot. I would say up to 50% in just 4 days! We are both quite amazed and I really wanted to let the world know. Try this out.

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.

Thanks to Gary for posting about tree tea oil.. I was skeptical at first but decided to give it a go.... The first couple of days my insides of my nose had a burning sensation that lasted maybe 30 seconds but after 5 days of continual use, I could not believe it. I could breathe through my nose again. It has been almost 3 weeks since. Still breathing through my nose and just using a nasal rinse to keep my nasal pasages moist. Thanks Again

BEWARE!!! I have nasal polyps and have gone to the doctor in the past. He gave me nasal steroid spray and it worked. I would prefer a natural solution. I came across this link and tried Tea Tree Oil applied with a Q-tip. It made the polyps worse and I am miserable! Headache and hard to sleep b/c lack of air. The polyps have become larger! Try one nostril first if you decide to try this method!!

Hey guys thanks a lot for suggesting Tea Tree Oil for Sinus Polyps. I have been using that for 4 days now and my polyps are falling off now. Seriously guys try it. You can buy it on Ebay for like 5 bucks for a 10ml bottle.

I also know of another remedy using manuka honey, distilled water and a "Neilmed Ready Rinse" bottle. You put a teaspoon of the honey and fill the bottle with distilled water and use it to irrigate your nose. Its really good at killing the bacteria in your nose and removing the bad odor. Supposidly its supposed to get rid of the polyps but I wasnt beeing constant with it. Your supposed to try it 2 times a day and then to 3 times a day when you get comfortable with it. Still it does a really good job.

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!!!!

For Sinus Polyps, Try Tea Tree Oil applied directly via a Qtip. The polyp will fall off in about 3-4 days.
