My husband is very active with hiking and other exercise, was in his early 40's at this point, and our child was 2, so this was absolutely out of the question. I looked up scar tissue remedies on Earth Clinic and found that applying Castor Oil to external scars had helped some people.
David continued his twice/day castor oil treatment for a couple of years. The scar tissue/tracheal stenosis never returned. I wish we had tried this before suffering through 7 surgeries, but better late than never! And better than a permanent tracheotomy! I hope this will help some other people recover easily from their tracheotomies. It is an incredibly easy cure.

Thank you so much for this comment. My fiance is going through the same thing. He was intubated for only 10 days but still got tracheal stenosis. He has had two different surgeries and so far both times its came back. I'm going out to buy castor oil tonight. Does it matter what kind? Hoping and praying this works. And I'm sorry you both had to go through this. Watching them not being able to breath on a regular basis is so tough. Thank you for giving me hope!

Hi, I read your initial post from 2016 and I was wondering if your husband is still breathing fine. I have idiopathic tracheal stenosis. I have already had 4 dilations (in the course of 5 years) and I am thinking about having a tracheal reconstruction but I am willing to try everything natural before undergoing such procedure. Thanks you for your post!

Hi, read about your tracheal stenosis and have been wondering if you can't be beneficial from taking magnesium, since it is a dilator. And maybe having less calcium foods.
