The following is based on traditional Chinese medicine [TCM]. TCM is based on the observation that everything is a combination of opposites: yin [cold, clean] and yang [heat, building], many of which are controlled by diet, exercise, sex, environment, thought, etc.
There are two types of ear infections, inflammation [otitis]: external and internal. Otitis externa, also known as the swimmer's ear, affects the outer ear. It is usually caused by an infection of the upper respiratory tract. Otitis media affects the middle ear [behind the eardrum] and is common in infants and children. The eustachian tube [connecting the nasopharynx and middle ear] and the auditory tube [attaching the ear to the back of the nasal cavity] regulate air pressure, temperature and humidity. Low pressure, colder temperatures tend to increase moisture, moisture in the ears, especially for young children, babies. Excessive moisture, water in the ear canal and eustachian tube may accumulate, stagnate and fester, attract and feed bacteria and viruses that can inflame and pressurize the ear, causing earache: sharp, dull or sputum The pain of the movement, the feeling of fullness of the ears is high [up to 103 degrees Fahrenheit]. High altitudes or lower temperatures increase discomfort and infection.
The ear [connected to the nasal cavity] is vulnerable to cold or wet external or internal attacks. The cold, moist air flutters in the wind, easily penetrating the nose, mouth and ears. In extreme cases, this tends to cause the ears to condense. Condensation. In nature, winter cooling cools the water in the air, hardens and condenses into rain, snow and ice. In the body, condensation condenses liquids such as lungs, nose, throat, sinuses, mouth, ears, etc. into water, mucus and sputum. Bacteria and viruses thrive in stagnant water-like media [mucus, sputum, cysts, urine, etc.] before inflammation and infection.
Middle ear infections are common in children. Children are often weak because they are still developing. This weakness, lack of energy, makes them more susceptible to cold and moisture, external and internal influences.
Internally, the body is heated by digestion, circulation, exercise, etc., all of which are heated by blood, nutrients, proteins and fats. Protein and fat build and fuel all structures and functions.
Digestion is the main source of heat in the body. Three meals a day activates the digestion of the stomach and small intestine [22 feet long], acid, enzymes and bile, which in turn produces heat, just like a car engine heats a car. The heat from digestion naturally increases to the lungs, throat, mouth, nose, sinuses and ears, heating and drying.
The lungs [including the throat, nose, sinuses, etc.] are naturally damp. Moisture, water promotes gas exchange [oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc.]. Too much or too little will weaken the exchange, thereby disturbing the breath, or causing infection, inflammation and the like.
Indigestion [common in children] produces less heat, causing a drop in temperature, followed by cooling and moisturization [water, mucus and sputum] of the lungs, nose, and throat. In nature, the cold temperatures of the night, thickening at night and hardening the water in the air into the morning dew. In the winter, the cold temperatures thicken and the water in the air turns into rain, snow and ice. In the body, the colder temperature thickens, making the water in the lungs, nose, and throat harder and entering the mucus and sputum.
Low protein, low fat [milk, yogurt, cheese, beans, nuts and seeds] and high carbohydrate diet, extreme, weak, cool and dilute digestion [acid, enzyme], elimination [lean], breathing [mucus, sputum , ear [water, infection, infection], immunity [the tendency to catch a cold], etc. Milk and cereals are cold, as is orange juice. Hot cereal with a little cinnamon or ginger is warmer, building.
Recommended for the intermediate diet, the meal plan includes spices [cumin, coriander fennel, chili, ginger, etc.]. Use spices in soups, stews, desserts, etc. Spices increase digestion and dryness: excess fluid: mucus, sputum, loose stools, edema, cellulite, etc. Ginger or cinnamon can be used for biscuits, desserts. Vegetables [carrots, yam] and fruits [apples, pineapples, etc.] can be used as sweeteners to reduce the craving for sugar. Cooked foods, soups, stews, protein and fat stimuli, warm body: lungs, digestive creatures such as milk, yogurt, cheese, ice cream, salads, tropical fruits, smoothies, smoothies and cold drinks to cool and moisturize the body.
Garlic or peppermint oil drops in the ear are usually used to dry and moist while fighting infection. Use ear cones and candles for the same reason. Put the candle in your ear and catch fire. As a cone, the candle burns, it absorbs moisture and makes the ears dry. There are different types of ear candles. A waxed ear candle may drop excess wax into your ear.
