RINGING EARS (Tinnitus)WHAT DOES IT MEAN? WHAT'S CAUSING IT? WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Are you prone to a problem with 'Ringing ears'?
Ringing in the ears is generally caused by toxins stimulating the nervous the nervous system (aggravating udana vayu). What is the pitch of the ringing in the ears? Low pitch is Kapha. It is caused by swelling and congestion in the ears. High pitch is Vata. It is generally caused by indigestion. Massage the ears noticing if there is any pain. Pay attention to a feeling of pressure in the ears after eating. Notice if the jaw is misaligned in any way. The ears are sensitive to cold so wear a hat and keep the ears warm. Cleanse the bowels to purge toxins (ama). Ringing in the ear may get worse when there is constipation. The functional components of the ear are three tiny bones. The joint space between bones typically suffers from poor circulation. Heat and other techniques to improve circulation may reduce tinnitus. ARE YOU NEW TO AYURVEDA?

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?
WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?Ayurveda strengthens the body, in addition to addressing the disorder. It take a holistic, systemic approach, instead of myopically focusing on the disorder in question. Ayurveda shows a person how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using materials from home, so they can 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 with an exceptional focus on digestion.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 gunas / qualities. 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 imbalances (gunas). By eating an optimal diet that balances your gunas, 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.
