Do Immediate Remedies (Safe & Effective) 🔸 1. Steam Inhalation (3x/day) Add Ajwain (carom seeds) or Eucalyptus oil to boiling water Cover your head with a towel, inhale deeply for 10–15 minutes Helps loosen mucus & drain the Eustachian tube 🔸 2. Warm Compress Take a clean cloth, soak it in warm water, and place it over the affected ear for 10–15 minutes Reduces pain and encourages fluid drainage 🔸 3. Nasya (Ayurvedic Nasal Drops) Use Anu Tailam or Shadbindu Tailam (available at Patanjali/Baidyanath): Warm slightly Put 2 drops in each nostril while lying down with head tilted back (once daily, preferably in morning) Clears sinuses, relieves ear pressure 🔸 4. Ayurvedic Medicines (for 5–7 days) Medicine Dose Benefit Sitopaladi Churna 1 tsp + honey, 2x/day Relieves cough & phlegm Godanti Bhasma 125 mg + honey, 2x/day Helps with sinus pressure, pain Kanchanar Guggulu 1 tab 2x/day after meals Reduces gland swelling, sinus congestion Tulsi + Ginger Kadha 2x/day Natural anti-inflammatory & immunity booster

It sounds like you're dealing with a challenging situation. In Ayurveda, persistent cold, cough, and ear blockage could indicate an imbalance in the Kapha dosha, often leading to increased mucus production. Let's address your current symptoms with some Ayurvedic remedies that can help alleviate the issue. Firstly, consider using steam inhalation. Boil water, add a few drops of eucalyptus oil, and inhale the steam for about 10 minutes. The warmth and essential oils can help break down mucus and relieve ear blockage. Do this twice daily, morning and evening. For your diet, try to avoid cold and heavy foods that could aggravate Kapha. Opt for light, warm meals. Freshly made ginger tea can be beneficial; boil ginger slices in water and drink it hot. This supports digestion and helps clear mucus. Nasya therapy, or nasal administration of Ayurvedic oils, might also be helpful. Anu taila, if available, can be instilled into each nostril in the morning—even a couple of drops can make a difference. This technique helps balance Vata and Kapha in the area and might ease your ear discomfort. Stay hydrated with warm water throughout the day, which aids in thinning the mucus. Include spices like turmeric and black pepper in your meals, known for their anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties. However, since the ear blockage is severe and painful, it's essential to assess if there's an infection or something needing immediate medical attention. If symptoms persist or if you experience any hearing loss, please seek medical advice promptly to rule out any complications that might need urgent treatment. Remember, while these Ayurvedic tips might relieve symptoms, closely monitoring your condition and collaborating with a healthcare provider when symptoms persist ensures safe and effective care.
