Guest guest Report post Posted August 4, 2005 Namaste, all - I'm having a problem with my right ear. Ever since a bad cold I had in June, it has felt blocked up. It doens't hurt, and I seem to still hear things fine, but it feels strangely blocked on the inside. I think I notice it more in the evenings, too. Is there anything that Ayurveda can do to help? I also had a problem similar to this during my pregnancy (I have a 10 mo old baby now) and the ENT specialist said that pregnant mothers have a higher chance than the rest of the population to experience hearing loss, so it was good that I was checked. He saw no problems at that time. Could this somehow be related to that problem during pregnancy? Blessings, Connie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted August 5, 2005 Hi, I have a very good experience with the remedy that I want to share with you. Take 150 ml of fresh urine from yourself, take 50 ml of good honey, mix altogether and boil in a cooper pot until 1/2 of initial quantity. Filter the liquid and keep in a dark and cold place. These are very good and effective drops for ears, eyes and nose. Put 1-2 drops in the ear and close it with a little cotton ball. Do it 2-3 times a day until relieved. Good luck Connie Habash > I'm having a problem with my right ear. Ever since a bad > cold I had in June, it has felt blocked up.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 5, 2005 It could be eustachian tube dysfunction. I have had it for several years. It goes and comes. The only thing you can do about it to drink a lots of water during that time and also do this exercise regularly - Close your nostrils with your fingers and fill your mouth with air. You will feel some pressure in the middle year. Do this several times in the day. Himali > I'm having a problem with my right ear. Ever since a bad > cold I had in June, it has felt blocked up.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 6, 2005 Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions for the ear blockage. Regarding the urine & honey practice, I don't have a copper pot - are there other possibilities? Can you explain to me why the drinking of urine will address the blockage of my ear? And yes, Himali, I'm guessing it is eustachian tube dysfunction, although I don't have a Dr's assessment of that. I have had problems with this in the past, too, before my pregnancy. I still haven't gone to the ENT because it seems to be improving in the last few days. When you suggest plugging the nose and then inhaling into the mouth, should I hold my breath with my mouth closed for a bit? Or just exhale? I don't feel much pressure in my ears when I do it, maybe just a little. Fortunately the ear doesn't hurt and isn't infected. Blessings, Connie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted August 6, 2005 As to ear blockage, I suggested to use urine with honey to make drops into ears and I told that these are very good drops for nose and eyes too, but you don't need to drink this mixture, only eardrops. > Can you explain to me why the drinking of urine will address the blockage of my ear?

Guest guest Report post Posted August 7, 2005 Dear Connie, Himali is correct ,technically it is called' eustachian catarrah', Your problem can be treated with the following medicines. 1.Nirgundi tailam put 10 drops in the ear and plug with a cotton. 2.Tab.Vyoshadi Vati 2 tab 3 times/day with water. 3.Agastya rasayan. 1 spoon with milk or water morning on empty stomach continue these till you relieved.
