Ayurvedic Treatment for Ear Blockage - #4566

Anonymous

For the past few weeks, I’ve been experiencing frequent ear blockages and discomfort in my right ear. It feels like there’s pressure, and sometimes I hear a buzzing sound. I’ve tried cleaning my ears using cotton swabs, but it hasn’t helped. I also visited an ENT specialist, but they suggested that it could be related to an imbalance in the body’s doshas, particularly the Vata dosha. They mentioned that the root cause might be excess mucus or air in the ear canal, which might require Ayurvedic treatment to balance the doshas properly. After hearing this, I decided to explore Ayurvedic remedies, but I’m not sure which treatments would be the most effective. I’ve heard that Ayurvedic treatments like oil drops can be useful in such cases, but I don’t know which one would be most suitable for my situation. Does anyone have experience with Ayurvedic treatment for ear blockage? I came across several oils, including sesame oil and certain herbs, but I’m not sure what’s best. How long should the treatment take to clear the blockage, and what precautions should I take before trying these oils? Should I continue my regular visits to the ENT or rely completely on Ayurveda?

Ear blockages accompanied by pressure and buzzing sounds are often linked to an imbalance in Vata or Kapha dosha, where Vata creates dryness and Kapha contributes to mucus buildup. In Ayurveda, Karna Purana (ear oiling) is a commonly recommended therapy. Warm sesame oil, infused with herbs like Bilva or Dashamoola, can help lubricate and balance Vata, reducing dryness and discomfort. For Kapha-related blockages, herbal oils like Anu Taila can clear excess mucus and improve ear function. Applying a few warm drops in the affected ear daily, followed by gentle ear massage, can bring relief over time, typically within a few weeks. However, it's crucial to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting treatment, especially if you’ve already seen an ENT. Continuing to work with both Ayurveda and modern medicine can provide a more comprehensive approach to your issue. Avoid using cotton swabs, as they may push wax further inside or cause irritation. If symptoms persist or worsen, revisit your ENT to rule out conditions like ear infections or Eustachian tube dysfunction.
