What are Tonsil Stones?
Well, tonsil stones are the result of tonsils that have a lot of lymph fluid to clean. The more junk in the lymph fluid, the bigger and harder the tonsil stones. In a person who doesn't develop tonsil stones, the junk is not hard but smooth which allows it to get out by itself.
But in a person with overworking tonsils, this junk becomes hard and if the condition is allowed to progress, the tonsils will become under active and unable to do a good job filtering lymph fluid. When this happens, more symptoms appear such as lack of energy, depression, and feeling "stuck." The situation is almost like a house owner who forgets to take the junk to the dump. After a while the junk builds up, decays and give rise to a terrible smell, which in turn affects the house owner negatively.
Tonsil stones are also the reason why many have bad breath! Many people do not even know this and spend money on mouthwash and related products that are little helpful.
To get rid of these tonsil stones for good we have to find out how the tonsils can become under-active and why they have to filter so much junk.
Under-active tonsils have two possible causes.
1. Too much work and cannot keep up with the cleaning.
2. Too little circulation of the lymph fluid.
The lymph system has no pump to circulate its fluid like the heart of the blood system. Instead it makes use of the movement of the body. In the walls of the lymph system there are one-way valves that allow the fluid move one way but not the opposite way. Lymph fluid is squeezed forward whenever you make a physical movement.
Now, the tonsils can become under active if there is not enough movement. Jogging, yoga, or any other activity which involve stretching your body will circulate the lymph fluid. Especially helpful are the activities which involve your arms and neck/head since they will move the lymph fluid related to your tonsils. (Be sure to be careful with movements that include your head and neck!) You will receive a Kundalini Yoga set for cleaning the entire lymph system, but first lets examine what might cause your lymph fluid to become dirty.
Your body uses the tonsils to remove unhealthy particles from the lymph fluid. I say particles because anything which your body has labeled as foreign and harmful will be filtered out.
This is especially true if you are allergic to something. You body will react on the substance and see it as harmful. It will get attacked by white blood cells and filtered out at the lymph nodes (tonsils).
This is why many allergic conditions such as post nasal drip and sinus infections show presence of tonsil stones. The allergy causing substances and materials used to fight off the allergen are transported in the lymph fluid. This means more work for the lymph nodes and add to that: chemicals, toxins, dead white blood cells, and other particles, and you will realize that it puts extra pressure on your lymphatic system. I will suggest some steps to take if you suspect that allergy is causing your tonsil stones to appear. You will find these further down.
The reality is that it is not only allergy that can increase the amount of dirt in the lymph fluid, but also stress, alcohol, refined foods, harmful fats, rancid oils, sugar, and diary products to name a few.
