The itching and dryness in your ears, along with the cold-like pus, suggest a Vata and Kapha imbalance in Ayurveda. Excessive use of earbuds may aggravate Vata in the ears, leading to dryness, while the pus could indicate a buildup of Kapha or infection. To address this, avoid using earbuds frequently as they can damage the ear canal and increase dryness. Instead, perform a gentle Karana Purana—the application of warm, medicated oil like Bilva Taila or Anu Taila into the ears daily to moisturize and soothe the ear canal.

For the pus or infection, you may use Dashamoola Kashaya for internal detoxification, which helps clear excess Kapha and prevents infections. Simultaneously, improving your digestion is crucial since acidity can worsen Kapha buildup. Follow a diet that balances Vata and Kapha by avoiding cold, heavy, and oily foods, and instead consume warm, easily digestible meals. Herbs like Triphala help regulate digestion and improve bowel movements, which can reduce acidity and improve overall ear health.

Additionally, maintain nasal hygiene by performing Nasya with medicated oils to keep the sinus and ear passages clear, reducing the risk of infections. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for precise dosages and personalized treatment.

The itching and dryness in your ears, along with pus when experiencing cold, suggest an imbalance in Vata and Kapha doshas. Excessive use of earbuds can aggravate Vata, leading to dryness in the ear canal, while the pus indicates a possible Kapha buildup or infection. For relief, I recommend avoiding frequent use of earbuds, as they can worsen the dryness. Instead, try Karana Purana, a procedure where warm, medicated oil like Bilva Taila or Anu Taila is applied in the ears to soothe and lubricate them.

To address the infection and pus, herbs like Haridra (turmeric) and Neem can help in detoxifying and balancing Kapha. Drinking warm water infused with Triphala can aid in managing your acidity and improve overall digestion, which is often linked to ear health in Ayurveda.

Could you let me know if you experience any other symptoms, such as ringing in the ears (tinnitus) or headaches, and whether you have any digestive or sinus-related issues? This will help refine the treatment plan further.

Okay, so you've got this itching thing happening in your ears, and using buds daily? Twice, or even thrice a day, that's gonna irritate those sensitive areas more. The dryness you're feeling is nature's way of telling you to ease up a bit. Our ears have their mechanisms to clean themselves, so constant interference can lead to issues. Ayurveda believes in balancing Vata dosha when it comes to dryness and irritation. 

Try this: Avoid ear buds for a bit. Let your ears catch a break. You might want to try applying just a drop or two of warm sesame oil in each ear every few days. This oil is moisturizing and often helps alleviate dryness. 

About the cold symptoms with what sounds like pus, it could hint towards an infection. That might need immediate attention from a doctor, because ear infections can get nasty if ignored. Safety first!

And hey, that acidity issue – classic Pitta dosha imbalance! Start with your diet. Stay hydrated, but avoid icy cold drinks. Favor warm, cooked foods and spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel. Avoid spicy, fried, or fermented foods which might aggravate acidity. A simple blend of half a teaspoon of coriander powder in warm water before meals can help calm the Pitta.

Staying active, with mild exercises or yoga, can also keep your digestive fire (Agni) balanced, helping to reduce acidity. Agni and digestion go hand in hand in Ayurveda like best buddies. 

Keep an eye on these suggestions and see how you feel. If the pus situation worsens or other intense symptoms occur, don't hesitate to seek a medical professional's advice. Safety over everything.
