TEMPERING EAR PAIN/INFECTION (from Ayurveda, Greek & Chinese Medicine)
Much of the inner ear is fluid filled. Ear infection is often the result of poor drainage or fluid stagnation in the ear. Thus, ear infections are generally due to aggravated Kapha. Sinus congestion & inflammation may also travel up the Eustachian tube, preventing drainage, eventually leading to an ear infection.
Doctors will often perforate the ear drum to drain the infection. If the ear drum is perforated you have to be careful what you put in the ear.
Diet & Ear Infections
You might notice additional pressure in your ear after eating sugar or rich fatty meal, as the fluid of the inner ear becomes congested. Dairy, wheat and empty carbs create water pressure in the ear. Red meat causes ear wax buildup. Avoid these foods whenever congestion, ear infection, or excess ear wax is noted.
Children are especially vulnerable to ear infection because their eustacian tube is nearly horizontal, preventing drainage.
Here are some Ayurvedic and western formulas and tips that are traditionally used for ear infections. Experiment with caution - not all these formulas have been verified.
Other Remedies for Ear Infection
- The ears love warmth. Keep your head warm. Wear a hat and scarf. Keep clothing with a hood nearby.
- Gargling - The act of chewing and swallowing assists with the disposal of earwax and clearing the middle ear, and is beneficial for ear infections.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #3
EAR PAIN/INFECTION IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #3 -
ATTACKING TISSUEIf you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are becoming stronger and weakening your body's resistance.
Most people have a weakness in one or more organs.
These areas of weakness are the 'weak link in the chain.'
They are first to succumb when an imbalance reaches a tipping point.
Repairing imbalances in this category often represent your last opportunity to prevent disease.
At any moment, these imbalances could overwhelm weakened tissue and develop into a disease.
You may feel pain or discomfort in the weakened area.
At this stage you will need to support the weakened tissue with specialized foods and herbs for the weakened tissue.

Symptoms Tell A Story
The first step to healing is learning patterns from your symptoms.
Symptoms are clues that reveal underlying imbalances.
Symptoms show you where your body is weakened.
Ultimately, all disease has a root in tissues too weak to defend itself.
Ayurveda describes these patterns of weakness using doshas & biocharacteristics.
If you notice a biocharacteristic or dosha appears next to many of your symptoms,
it helps you establish a pattern that may be systemic.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?
WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?
Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic,
systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda
shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them
using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't
take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you.
Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.
HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?
Ayurveda starts by identifying your
body type,
which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths).
It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders.
Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder.
It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of
biocharacteristics (gunas).
For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc.
This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.
On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics.
By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened
and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease
are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies -
such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance
your healing.
