Tonsil stones causes
In this article you are going to find out about the underlying cause for tonsil stones.
It’s quite shocking to me that so many people doesn’t have a clue about what’s causing them to develop tonsil stones. This condition is pretty common among people but few develop severe conditions such as dizziness, water running from the nose, and lack of energy.
The most common conditions that seem to come with tonsil stones are bad breath and a strep throat. This can be very devastating to a person’s self confidence as well as his social success. With that said, this condition can show up in children as well, but it’s quite rare and it’s more common that adults develops them.
But, what’s the cause for tonsil stones?
It’s actually quite simple.
Tonsil stones are the result of a dirty lymph fluid. The white stones that you can see in the back of your mouth are actually the waste that has been removed from the lymph fluid.
You tonsils are like two filters that filters lymph fluid so it can be returned to the blood. Without lymph fluid the blood is just red blood cells. The lymph fluid carries all the nutrition that the cells need as well as white blood cells to fight off any infection in the body.
This fluid can sneak out of the capillaries to supply the cells with what they need, and in the same time take the waste material from the cells with it. When it’s finished its job it travels back to the blood but it has to be cleaned from all the waste that it has. This is done at lymph nodes and your tonsils are two of these lymph nodes.
Now, as I said above… The cause of tonsil stones if that your lymph fluid has a lot of garbage in it and the tonsils need to clean it out. It is shown as this white rubbery like stones in the tonsil crypts. The tonsil crypts functions like garbage cans.
In a person who is healthy this waste is smooth and you don’t notice it. But when there is too much garbage, then your tonsils cannot clean it out effectively. The result is that this waste becomes white and hard which is shown as tonsil stones.
