Treatment of ENT (ear, nose, throat) diseases with Ayurveda

ENT (ear, nose, throat) diseases are common in all age groups. The main reasons – poor hygiene, low immunity, poor diet, and lifestyle are just a few factors in causing the disease. Ayurveda is an in-depth study of ENT diseases, the causes of which are offered by most treatment methods. The main factor in Ayurveda is to find the root cause and correct the body. First of all, the diet is balanced and applied – for each patient, guided by the client’s Dosha. By reviewing the existing lifestyle and adding herbal Ayurvedic products, complete elimination of the existing disease can be achieved.

What will you get during an Ayurvedic session with our doctor?

Treatment with Ayurvedic remedies is the best way for various ENT (ear, nose, and throat) problems. Ayurvedic medicines take time to treat a variety of chronic conditions, but they work on the root cause of the problem and provide lasting results. There are thousands of plants in nature, and Ayurveda uses these plants in various healing and Ayurvedic procedures – to treat disorders of the human body.

The ears are not only the organs of hearing but also the organ of balance in the body. The nose not only smells, but also acts as a natural body moisturizer, and purifies the breathing air protecting the body from various germs. The throat provides proper air to the lungs and makes it easier for water and food to enter the digestive tract.

What Ayurveda says about ENT diseases:

Yoga, Prayanama is a highly recommended practice besides other Ayurvedic remedies for any ENT problems. 

Problems with the ears – the unwillingness to hear  –  rage and irritation build-up, followed by inflammation.

If you have a great relationship with the surrounding, the throat will always be fine!

The nose is self-esteem and self-awareness of that personality! Runny nose – tears of the subconscious.

What Causes ENT Issues?

Diseases of these special organs are caused by excessive or improper use, or environmental factors which are explained in Ayurveda as AstamyaIndriyarthSanyog and Parinam. Constant use of electronic screens, listening to music, being in a noisy environment, working in dimly lit conditions or being exposed to very bright lights are some examples of improper use of the organs and environmental factors. Eating non-nutritious foods, smoking, improper personal hygiene are also contributing factors.

To bring Ayurveda into your daily life, start small! Focus on a routine that respects your dosha.

For ear, nose, and throat issues, Ayurveda often uses plants like Tulsi (Holy Basil), Licorice, and Turmeric. They help balance doshas and strengthen immunity. Tulsi works wonders for colds and coughs, while Licorice soothes the throat and Turmeric helps with inflammation. But remember, it's important to tailor treatment to your own dosha and imbalance! If you're not sure, chatting with an Ayurvedic practitioner about your specific needs can be a great next step.

Hey, great question! For ear health, Ayurveda suggests focusing on vata balance, as it's linked to wind and space, which affect the ears. You can gently massage warm sesame oil around your ears to keep them nourished. Also, ensure you have a balanced diet to support your agni (digestive fire) and overall well-being. Keep stress in check too, as it can impact vata. Stay safe!

For managing sinusitis in Ayurveda, consider using Nasya—it's an ancient nasal therapy. Use a few drops of oil like Anu or sesame in each nostril. Also, steaming with eucalyptus or mint can help clear nasal passages. Keep a balanced diet based on your dosha to reduce inflammation. Tulsi tea may also soothe symptoms. But best to consult with an ayurvedic doc for personalized advice!
