Ear Aches, Ear Cleaning and Reasons Why

  Occasionally someone will call me who has a severe ear ache. Then is not the time to practice correction of the biological terrain because the person is in pain. There are a couple of tried and true remedies, providing there is not a rupture in the ear drum. My first remedy is this: Heat an onion in a steamer till it's soft enough to squeeze out the juice. Let it cool to body temperature and put drops in the ear. It will usually relieve an ear ache in minutes. Another is to place a garlic clove in olive oil and then fit it in the ear like you would a hearing aid. It will seep through the skin and bring relief. Both of these will help fight infection as well. I have seen the onion relieve a severe ear ache in a matter of just a few minutes. The garlic takes a little longer.

There is also a manual way to relieve earaches but I cannot demonstrate it here. It takes longer to do as well. I have relieved earaches, headaches, sunburn, scrapes, etc. manually in around 15 minutes.

   In the summer I collect Mullein Flowers and St. John's Wart Flowers and then I cover them in Olive Oil. The Plants look like these:

  I will place those flowers in a jar and keep it, shaking daily for about two weeks or more. Then I strain out the flowers and I have the Mullein or St. John's Wart oils like as in the picture. 

Then I will generally mix the Mullein Oil, with the St. John's Wart Oil, along with some Garlic Oil and put it in a dropper like the one in the picture. This is great for ear cleaning as well. A couple of weeks ago I got very dizzy in the evening and couldn't quite figure out why. Knowing that inner ear congestion can sometimes make one feel that way I put a few drops in each ear. It took a couple of hours but the problem went away.

Ear Medicine

If your child tends to get a lot of earaches it is best to test for allergies such as dairy and wheat. Remember, for every effect there is a cause. If the child has been swimming for instance he/she could have an infection. In that case the drops would work as well as anything. Children tend to get earaches more than adults because the Eustachian tube is so small and short. If, on the other hand you can find no reason for the ear problem you may be looking at an allergy.

 Keep in mind that blue-eyed people tend to get ear aches more often than brown-eyed people. That's because they tend to have lymphatic imbalances. They are more susceptible to sore throats, sinus problems, even lung congestion and so forth.The same is true of blue-eyed children when it comes to allergies and problems due to lymphatic congestion.

  If you are an adult and you tend to get ear aches, sinus head-aches, sinus congestion, lung congestion, and so forth on a regular basis there are two main reasons why: First, you may be a blue-eyed lymphatic person who, by constitution, is more susceptible to these kinds of things; Or, you have a different eye color and are suffering from intestinal congestion. You probably don't even know it!

The body has channels of elimination such as the respiratory system, the urinary system, the intestinal system and the skin. So, if there is congestion for instance, in the intestinal system the body will attempt to remove toxins any way it can and it most often ends up in the respiratory system. The way to overcome this tendency to ear aches and so forth is NOT to take pharmaceutical medicines that only address the symptoms, but to deal with the root problem which is probably the intestinal system.

  I don't really have the time here and now to deal with all this but I want you to know that for every effect there is a cause. Things don't just happen!

  There are remedies besides those I mentioned. Blue-eyed people should do daily exercise to keep that lymph moving, things like ginger or Cayenne can be added to the diet. Herbs like Yarrow can be helpful. If you have this problem and want to know more, contact me and I'll be glad to help.

  If you think you may fall into the second category then it's a deeper problem. You'll possibly need a cleanse, certainly digestive enzymes, and probriotics will be called for. You may be lacking in trace minerals. In either case you'll want to avoid mucus forming foods for awhile. I'm probably forgetting something important so you may want to come back and read this again as there may be more added. Or perhaps I'll add more in another blog. If you need help feel free to contact me.
