A member asked:
Is it safe to use tree te oil when you have sinuse and nose polyps if yes how to use it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No No: It may be safe but i doubt that it would be helpful. Nasal polyps if diagnosed properly is a genetic disease of the lateral wall of the nose and may grow both into the nose and block the sinuses at the side and under the eyes. Steroids by mouth or intranasal steroids may be helpful. See an ENT doctor for a proper diagnosis to determine the size and location of the polyps.
