Nasal Polyps: Not necessarily... Allergies, sinus infections, aspirin-like products or foods and even worts or tumors can be involved. Sampter's syndrome can be heredity-based issue resulting in polyps. See an ENT specialist for answers. www.nwnasalsinus.com.

Nasal Polyps: I have not heard of this one... If you are prone to nasal polyps due to chronic sinusitis, the best thing is to work with your ENT doctor on a regimen of nasal irrigations and steroid sprays to minimize your need for surgery to debulk the polyps. With that said, western medicine doesn't have a "cure" for nasal polyps, and apple cider vinegar is unlikely to hurt them.
