Tonsillitis literally means inflammation of the tonsils.
There is usually a streptococcal infection present, though sometimes there may be a viral infection.
Children's tonsils used to be whipped out at the first signs of throat problems but that is no longer the case.
Once you have lost your tonsils, you are without a piece of your anatomy that is an immunity defender.
Tonsils filter bacteria thus supporting the immune system. If your child is always getting sore throats, take a look at how much milk he or she is drinking. There may well be a connection.
Chronic tonsillitis may indicate that the organs of elimination (bowel, liver, kidneys and lungs) are clogged up.
This can lead the lymphatic system, including the tonsils, to become overloaded.
Also viral infection by the below mentioned viruses can cause this condition.
The cause of the condition is usually a viral infection. Common viruses which cause tonsillitis include:• herpes simplex virus;
• adenoviruses (medium-sized, nonenveloped viruses);
• enteroviruses;
• influenza virus;
• parainfluenza viruses;
• Epstein-Barr virus.
Symptoms include sore throat, inflamed tonsils, fever and pain on swallowing. You may have bad breath, too.
Possible symptoms of tonsillitis include:• a very sore throat
• difficulty or pain while swallowing
• a scratchy-sounding voice
• bad breath
• fever
• chills
• earaches
• stomachaches
• headaches
• a stiff neck
• jaw and neck tenderness from swollen lymph nodes
• tonsils that appear red and swollen
• tonsils that have white or yellow spots
• A deep infection in the surrounding areas of the throat;
• An abscess which develops between a tonsil and the side of the throat;
• middle ear infection;
• breathing difficulties when sleeping.
• Individuals frequently exposed to crowded places;
• Seniors and elderly
• Overworked people;
• Children.
Ensure you and your child practice good hygiene habits. Wash your hands often, especially after coming into contact with someone who has a sore throat, or is coughing or sneezing.
Your mind is the most powerful tool you have.
Every thought you get, causes changes throughout your body.
Neutral, calming or happy thoughts have the opposite effect.
It is always a set of emotions or an emotional state that manifests itself in the form of a disease.
The key emotions that generally co-exist so as to become the root cause of Tonsillitis are as follows.
There is something you no longer accept to swallow. You repress your feelings despite having them, perhaps out of fear of something.
You live in fear of expressing yourself, especially your emotions and your creativity.
You do not feel safe enough to be yourself and instead suppress your talents as you may have been attacked or criticized. The more you allow yourself to shine, the more vulnerable and exposed you feel. You do not allow yourself to speak up or ask for any needs to be met. You felt guilty or ashamed when you did things that were not pleasing to influential people.
There is a feeling of lost personal potency and bondage which results in considerable 'inner crying'. There is a lot of agitated anxiety and conflict about the intensity about their need to express your deep feelings, to release yourself, and to manifest your creative capabilities.
It may be that you are finding it hard to swallow that you can't be what you want to be and this is causing the irritation, frustration and anger.
As with all inflammatory processes, tonsils are an indication of an acute conflict that has been suppressed. The advice is to retreat and leave things on their way for a while. Accept your feelings and anger.
With time, these feelings will cease to scare you, and you will become open and free.
Here are ways to master the mind/body connection to heal the tonsils.
1. Relax. Relaxation is an active state of deep rest where the mind is quiet and the body is physiologically calm.
Meditation, guided visualization, body scanning and slow, diaphragmatic breathing are some of the many techniques that achieve relaxation.
2. Stop taking stress. Stress is heavily implicated in any disease. Review your life and see if you can avoid the causes of stress or change your response to them. Stop worrying about the past or future and live in the present. As that is all you can influence.
3. Express your emotions. Emotions are energy. Suppressing them takes physical effort that can cause pain.
Repressed emotions cause poor health. Suppressing emotion also keeps you stuck, unable to move past what you are avoiding. By contrast, writing in a journal or talking to someone about how you feel, and even just sitting quietly and "mindfully" to fully experience and acknowledge the feeling, all lead to feeling better both emotionally and physically.
4. Try to be cheerful. When you laugh your body produces endorphins, the body's natural healers.
5. Process your trauma. There could be a connection between earlier experiences of psychological trauma or chronic pain or illness of the past.

90% of the diseases are a result of build-up of unresolved negative emotions and pre-programming of your mind as discussed above. Your soul tries to express these unresolved negative emotions first through your thoughts and feelings. If you fail to listen to the messages that are crying out to be heard, these messages become stronger and then harder for you to ignore. They then express and manifest themselves by means of pain, discomfort or ill-health.
Along with Emotional management, Spiritual programming of your mind is a must to unwind yourself from the clutches of the negative emotions you've held so long which has ultimately led to the dis-ease.
This we achieve by means of:
1- Facilitated Spiritual Detox
2- Meditation
3- Identifying the imbalance and healing at the level of the Chakra
4- Energy healing
After-care maintenance and guidance once the goal is achieved (reversal and cure of disease)
