Tonsil stones, also called tonsilollith, cause a very uncomfortable and annoying feeling to a person who has it, not to mention that it can be embarrassing as well.  There is an accompanying soreness and the feeling that something is always stuck in the throat can make having this condition quite unbearable. This also causes bad breath which can specifically affect a person’s self-esteem.  If you are suffering from this condition, then you should know that there are natural remedies that can help cure tonsil stones.

Chinese medicine explains that tonsil stones and other issues related to tonsils happen due to toxins and poor quality digestion. That is why they recommend lowering or completely avoiding foods which create more acidity and toxins in body. Such foods are white flour products, red meats, and fat rich food items like dairy products, butter, ghee, fried foods and white sugar. Apart from avoiding these foods, they also suggest to include in one’s diet the foods rich in antioxidants such as blueberries, pomegranate, carrots, cabbage, raspberries and turnips. Ginger and carrot juice is also suggested to detoxifying the body and for relieving infections of tonsils and tonsil stones.

Chinese herbs are also used for removing tonsil stones. Mu Xiang and brown sprouted rice can be used to aid digestion and lower toxins present in the tonsils. These help in moving the food via the body very quickly without making them stagnated to form toxins. Other Chinese detoxifying herbs like She Gan, Ban Lan Gen, Bai Hua She She Cao and the Chinese herbs that are meant to clear off mucus like Ban Xia, Chen Pi and Bai Fu Zi also help treat tonsil stones.

There are certain cool natural herbs that are not recommended by Chinese health enthusiasts and doctors. These herbs, like the spirulina and chlorophyll, deplete the digestive energies and might result in food stagnation leading to higher toxicity.

Apart from these herbs, it is very important to have good oral hygiene. This is because it removes the bacteria present in the tonsils. Lemon juice and apple cider vinegar along with water can be used to get rid of the bacteria present in the mouth. Celery is also considered as one of the best natural tonsil stones remedy. Chewing on celery is known to destroy odor causing bacteria and help in removal of tonsil stones. Onion is another food item that can help you get rid of the tonsil stones along with the mint and parsley.
