What is the ear and how does Ayurveda support ear health naturally? - #16640
For the past few weeks, I’ve been experiencing a bit of ear discomfort and occasional ringing in my ears, which seems to get worse when I’m exposed to loud sounds or after long periods of stress. At first, I thought it was just temporary, but now it’s becoming more frequent, and it’s starting to affect my daily life. I’ve visited an ENT specialist, and they didn’t find any serious issues, but they mentioned it could be related to stress or ear congestion. I’ve heard that Ayurveda takes a holistic approach to health, and I’m curious how it supports ear health and addresses issues like ringing in the ears, ear congestion, or even hearing loss. How does Ayurveda view ear-related problems in terms of dosha imbalance? For example, does an imbalance in Vata dosha cause issues with hearing or balance, and if so, how can it be treated naturally? I’ve read that Ayurvedic remedies such as Triphala, Sesame oil, and Garlic oil can help with ear infections or congestion, but I’m unsure how they work. I’m also wondering if there are Ayurvedic treatments like nasal irrigation or oil massages that can help improve circulation and prevent ear problems. If anyone has experience with Ayurvedic treatments for ear issues, such as hearing problems, tinnitus, or ear congestion, I’d love to hear what worked for you and how you integrated these remedies into your routine.
