Question:
Hi there, I have been suffering from tinnitus in one ear for a couple of years but recently an ear examination showed that my middle ear is likely blocked but I have tried everything and nothing has worked, just wondering if you have any ideas?
Answer:
A little difficult to answer, as you say you have tried everything and nothing has worked. I do not know if you mean everything doctors or natural health practitioners have suggested?
Has an ear specialist determined if the middle ear is blocked with wax, mucous, a growth, inflammation, or a physical deformity of the ear bones? Knowing this could certainly make a difference in treatment options.
A few things I would suggest for any of the first 4 causes are Lobelia and CBG internally. Lobelia is a de-obstruant, pain reliever and anti- inflammatory, with some natural anti- microbial action. CBG contains herbs that help break down mucous, as well as fight infection, which may be an underlying cause of inflammation. It could also be help with possible allergic reactions, but again, determining the allergen is important for complete resolution.
You may have some relief with proper ear candling. If one treatment provides some relief, you would benefit from several, using 2 drops of essential oils of Lavender and Tea Tree after each session. If one treatment does not help, you would still feel better from it.
If it is a structural problem, then corrective surgery may be required.
Sorry, but this is all I can offer with the information you have given me. Should you wish more detail, please consider a mini session of 20 minutes, and we may be able to resolve this long term issue.
Natural healing is not a ” here take this pill” fast fix. It is doing detective work to determine the cause and remove this to the solution. Please get in touch again if you are interested in trying any of the herbs I suggested, as I can get you quality products from the supplier I have used since 1990, at the best prices.
