How do you cope with Ear Problem?
What is an ear infection?
An ear infection is a bacterial or viral illness that affects the middle ear. In comparison to adults, children are more susceptible to this illness. Due to the inflammation and fluid collection in the middle ear, ear infections can cause substantial discomfort. Since the infection normally clears up on its own, the Ayurveda treatment for ear problems in Kerala mainly focuses on pain management and monitoring the situation. In severe situations and the incidence of ear infections in newborns, internal medicines with some special treatments like Dhoopana required.Long-term ear disorders, such as persistent fluids in the middle ear, hearing impairments, chronic and repeated infections, can cause other major repercussions.
KarnaRoga, often known as ear disease in Ayurveda, is caused by one of four imbalances:
● Vata: Vata imbalances cause thin discharge, dry ear wax, acute discomfort, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and hearing loss.
● Pitta imbalances result in yellow discharge, swelling, redness, tearing, and burning when pitta is out of balance.
● White and slimy discharge, altered hearing, itching, steady swelling, and moderate discomfort are all symptoms of Kapha imbalances.
● Sannipataja: This occurs when Vata, pitta, and Kapha are all out of balance simultaneously; the discharge is coloured according to the prevailing dosha.
In most cases, ear infections are caused by Kapha imbalances. In the springtime or other times when there is a Kapha-favoring atmosphere, or while the kid is in the Kapha phase of life, a child with a Kapha body type is prone to ear infections (around eight years old). Ear infections are also more likely in children who eat a Kapha-aggravating diet (lots of sweets, wheat, dairy). The Ayurveda treatment for ear problems in ISHANI AYURVEDA focuses on curing the disease by knowing the root cause and treating it.
