In Ayurveda, nasal polyps are associated with an imbalance in Kapha Dosha, which governs mucous production, and Pitta Dosha, responsible for inflammation.
- Kapha Aggravation: Causes excess mucous and nasal congestion.
- Pitta Imbalance: Leads to inflammation and tissue overgrowth.
- Ama Accumulation: Toxins in the body aggravate chronic inflammation and infections.
Ayurvedic treatments focus on balancing these doshas, detoxifying the body, and reducing inflammation to prevent recurrence.
