Hello I totally get how frustrating and draining this must be for your wife. Itching inside the ears every day for two years, especially when meds only help for a bit, can really mess with sleep, mood, and just enjoying life. Since she’s 51 and going through perimenopause, this isn’t just a random issue—it’s likely tied to the hormone and body changes happening right now. YOUR CONCERN – Age: 51 – Stage: Perimenopause (periods are still irregular) – Main issue: -Bad itching inside both ears -Present almost every day for 2 years -No hearing loss or discharge -Regular meds only give short-term relief HOW AYURVEDA SEES IT The issue is: – Ear itching because of body imbalance during perimenopause When menopause happens: – Estrogen levels go down – Body gets drier – Body rises – Things get unstable This leads to: – Dryness inside the ear canal – Extra sensitive nerves – Inflammation – A lot of itching without an infection That’s why: – Tests come back normal – Ear drops don’t fix it – It keeps coming back This isn’t an infection—it’s a hormone-nerve-body problem.

With the right natural plan, it can be fixed. Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
