What Is Adenoid Surgery and How Can Ayurveda Support Recovery and Prevent Future Issues? - #16179
I recently learned that my child may need adenoid surgery due to frequent ear infections and difficulty breathing. While I understand that this surgery removes the enlarged adenoids, I want to understand more about the procedure, its benefits, and whether Ayurveda offers any methods to support recovery and prevent future issues. From what I understand, adenoid surgery is a common procedure for children who have chronic ear infections, snoring, or breathing problems due to enlarged adenoids. But what I do not fully understand is why some children experience recurring issues with their adenoids, leading to surgery. Is it related to weak immunity, environmental factors, or other lifestyle choices? I have read that Ayurveda considers the removal of tissues, like the adenoids, as a loss of protective barriers for the body. Are there Ayurvedic herbs, such as Tulsi, Neem, or Licorice, that can help in boosting immunity and preventing future infections of the adenoids and tonsils? Does Ayurveda recommend specific dietary changes, such as increasing antioxidants or avoiding cold and dairy products, to prevent recurring issues with the adenoids? Another thing I am wondering about is whether Ayurveda suggests any lifestyle modifications or natural therapies, such as steam inhalation, nasal washes (Nasya), or oil massages, that can help in preventing future problems with the adenoids and supporting overall respiratory health. If anyone has gone through adenoid surgery or used Ayurvedic remedies to prevent adenoid issues, I would love to hear about your experiences. I want to explore holistic and natural ways to support my child’s respiratory health.
