Roeding is propagated as an alternative to the surgical removal of the tonsils. There is no scientific proof of effectiveness for the procedure.

The Elberfeld internist and neurologist Heinrich Roeder (1866–1918) was the first to describe it. He presented the 1912 thesis on that almonds a central role in the excretory lymphatic einnähmen.

Application areas and implementation

Normally, the tonsils move along with chewing and swallowing movements, whereby they also clean themselves of the secretion in their crypts, i.e., figuratively speaking, excrete it.

The Roeder treatment is intended to support this self-cleaning by massaging the almonds and sucking off deposits or almond stones using a glass bell and thus removing suspected germs. Röder assumed that this procedure would increase the “detoxifying” function of the tonsils and thus exert a reflex influence on various organs.

In addition to suction of the tonsils, the Roeder treatment consists of a massage of the tonsils with a cotton-reinforced hook, the tonsils with a padded finger and the nasal mucosa with a button probe with cotton wool.

The Roeder treatment is said to have a positive general effect and a beneficial effect on local disease processes up to the healing of chronic tonsillitis as well as inflammation of the nasopharynx. In some fasting and raw food diets, the Roeder treatment is carried out as a cleansing measure for the body.
