Hello Vishal,
Exactly how and when the symptoms started?
Your symptoms suggest involvement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), nerve irritation, or muscular strain around the ear and jaw. Do you experience pain while chewing or opening your mouth wide? Have you noticed any swelling, redness, or sensitivity in the area? Does the pain worsen with cold weather or stress? Ayurveda considers such pain related to Vata aggravation, which can be managed with warm oil massages using Mahanarayan Taila or Dhanwantharam Taila around the affected area. Applying a warm compress and doing gentle jaw exercises may help. Let me know if you have any additional symptoms for a more precise recommendation.

Based on your symptoms, the pain is likely due to Vata and Pitta imbalance
You can start :
1. Tab.Trayodashang Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily
2. Ashwagandha Churna – 1 /2 teaspoon at bedtime with warm milk
3. Dashmool Kwath – 10ml twice daily with warm water
Do Hot fomentation (warm towel or salt pouch) around the ear and jaw for 10 minutes daily
Karna Marma (Ear Pressure Point – Just behind the earlobe) – Apply mild pressure for 30 secs and then release
Avoid: Cold exposure, hard/chewy foods, spicy & fried items, and excessive talking/chewing gum.
Consume: Warm soups, soft foods, moong dal, ghee, and herbal teas (ginger, cinnamon).
Hydration: Drink lukewarm water throughout the day.
Pranayama: Do Anulom Vilom & Bhramari for 5-10 minutes daily to balance Vata.
Stress Management: Meditation and jaw relaxation exercises.
If symptoms worsen or there are signs of infection/swelling, refer for further evaluation.

I would need to know more about any additional symptoms you may have, such as changes in your hearing, any recent injuries to the head or jaw, or if you have been experiencing any issues like teeth grinding or TMJ (temporomandibular joint) problems. Have you noticed any correlation between the pain and certain activities (e.g., chewing, talking, stress)? Also, are you experiencing any other health conditions or taking medications that might affect nerve function or the muscles in your face and jaw?
From an Ayurvedic perspective, the pain you are describing could be related to an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs movement and nervous system functions. Vata imbalances often lead to sharp, shooting pain and discomfort in the head, jaw, and neck area. This could also be linked to Vata imbalances in the Prana Vayu (the movement of energy in the head). Conditions like TMJ dysfunction or muscle tension in the jaw or neck can also cause this type of pain. To address this, Ayurvedic treatments include Ashwagandha (to reduce stress and calm the nervous system), Turmeric (for inflammation), and Bala (a herb that strengthens muscles and tissues). Warm oil massages using Sesame oil on the neck and jaw area can also help relax muscles and reduce tension.
Additionally, Shatavari or Ghee can help balance the Vata and support the nervous system. A gentle diet with warm, easy-to-digest foods may also help in alleviating discomfort

Hey there, outer ear pain, combined with jaw and neck discomfort could be signaling a few things, actually. Might be related to stress or tension — you know, carrying emotion, stress can really mess with our muscles around there. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues could cause this too; that joint where the jaw meets the skull, sometimes it gets all angry and acts up, especially if it’s irritated by grinding teeth or something like that.
Another thing to think about is Vata dosha imbalance. Good ol’ Vata, with its dry, airy qualities can cause pain and tension. When aggravated, it might lead to pain not just in the muscles but around the air spaces (sinuses, ears).
Wondering if posture plays a role too. Sitting hunched over or with the head thrust forward, like when on phones or computers, can create all sorts of discomfort. So, sitting up straight more often might work wonders, sounds like mom advice but hey, they kinda know best sometimes, right?
Try this - gentle massage with warm Sesame or Mahanarayan oil on the affected areas. It's like a soothing balm for frayed nerves and upset muscles. Get the oil warm, apply softly, give it a good 5-minute rub, no rush here. Follow up with a warm compress to further ease the pain, a soft warm towel or a heating pad will do.
Consider sipping on some ginger tea too, ginger's like nature’s muscle calmative, it helps soothe, causing less tension buildup. If you notice stress an issue, try some deep breathing exercises, Pranayama, yes, just 5-10 mins daily to keep it from snowballing into more discomfort.
But hey, if this pain gets persistent, popping up frequently, don’t wait around, see a doctor about it, especially if any swelling or fever shows up. Gotta rule out any serious stuff, right? Safety first, always.
