Preventing Illness and Tonsil Pain with Fotona Tonsilase®

Understanding Tonsil Function and Vulnerability

Winter is the season of rampant runny noses, sonorous sneezes and slimy sore throats. Our bodies do their best to fight off illness; the amazing organs of our immune system—lymph nodes, spleen, the tonsils—all doing their share. But sometimes the constant exposure to infectants makes one of our first lines of immune defense—the tonsils—the source of sickness, keeping you floating in illness and fitful sleep.

Tonsils are an integral part of the immune system, and function similarly to the lymph nodes. While lymph nodes filter internal liquid and effluvia, the tonsils act as an outward filter for materials exposed to the nose and mouth. They capture any germs before they can enter and infect the body, a wall against internal illness. Tonsils contain a large amount of white blood cells, one of the body’s primary modes of fighting infection.

The Challenge of Chronic Tonsil Infection

Persistent infection of the tonsils can occasionally be chronic, and in the past would often result in a tonsilectomy. But doctors have moved away from this surgical solution, because of its time-consuming recovery, cost and the risk posed by anesthesia. This means a common, consistent and lasting treatment for chronic tonsil infection has not been readily available to the afflicted. But, thanks to Fotona Tonsilase®, there is a new, non-surgical solution.

How Fotona Tonsilase® Works

Tonsilase works through the gentle power of a Fotona infrared light. As the light and heat penetrates the cell walls, it accelerates their metabolic processes and increases bodily blood flow. These increased processes allow for an improved bodily production of collagen and elastin, facilitating natural tissue shrinkage.

With this fast rate of cell reunification and healing, Tonsilase provides pain relief and greater immunity. The decreased tonsil size helps fight reinfection, as the pores and pockets of the tonsils diminish, preventing stagnant germs or refuse being stored. The light itself is also antibacterial, antimicrobial and antiviral, killing any existing or lurking illness in the tonsils, similarly minimizing the risk of reinfection. By clearing out the stores of bacteria and preventing future storage, Fotona Tonsilase brings lasting relief and comfort.

Addressing Mouth Breathing with Complementary Treatments

One systemic cause for these enlarged and vulnerable tonsils is mouth breathing, an increasingly common sleep affliction. Mouth breathing is a feedback loop for illness and bodily dysfunction, causing and exacerbating fatigue, illness and discomfort.

For children, their malleable oral structures facilitate non-invasive treatment options, namely HealthyStart™. HealthyStart is a non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical, non-orthodontic solution to improperly formed airways, guiding the mouth and airways into proper positioning through a series of nightly mouthguard-like trays and casings.

In instances where children are mouth breathing and experiencing chronic symptoms, we recommend HealthyStart in combination with NightLase for greater treatment efficacy, as they target interrelated airway troubles. For a more in-depth explanation of HealthyStart, see our blog post about it! These treatments in tandem or apart will do their part to keep your body happy and your tonsils pain-free.
