Ear infections are a very common complaint and can affect adults as well as children.
Otitis media (infection of the middle ear) affects the area behind the ear drum. A build-up of fluid and pus behind the ear drum leads to raised pressure in the ear, pain and loss of hearing.
Infection in the outer ear canal, called Otitis Externa, can cause inflammation, pain, discharge from the ear and itchiness. Chronic Otitis Externa can also predispose people to recurring infections of the middle ear.
There are a number of possible causes of ear infection, including bacteria, viruses and fungi. Colds and allergies may also have a role to play when they cause inflammation of the Eustachian tube, blocking normal drainage of the ear and leading to middle ear infection.
In many cases, ear infections recur after conventional treatment and may become chronic and difficult to get rid of. Recurring ear infections may also lead to permanent hearing loss if not treated properly.
Common signs and symptoms of an ear infection are:
Pain, throbbing or aching in one or both of the ears
Itching of the ears
Fever
Reduced hearing
Dizziness or loss of balance
Nausea and vomiting
Discharge or bleeding from the ears
Difficulty falling asleep (especially in younger children)
What is the conventional treatment for ear infections
Conventional treatment for ear infections generally involves oral antibiotics and sometimes medicated drops.
Though often effective in clearing the initial infection, antibiotics may compromise the immune system, leaving you vulnerable to recurrence and chronic infection. Antibiotics are also not effective against fungal infections of the ear.
How can natural remedies help?
Natural remedies can effectively reduce the pain, inflammation, throbbing and discomfort of ear infections and treat the underlying causes without the side-effects and lowered immune functioning so common with antibiotic use.
Natural remedies can also be very effective in the prevention of recurring ear infections, thereby guarding against hearing impairment caused by chronic ear infection.
Ear-Heal Drops are a safe and effective, internal treatment for ear infections, specially formulated for adults and children over 10 years old (babies and children under 10 use Eddy Ear Sprinkles).
Ear-Heal Drops are an effective natural alternative to antibiotic treatment of ear infections and are an excellent companion to our Ear-OK ear drops, which are used internally directly in the ear.
Ear-Heal Drops contain the following herbal and homeopathic ingredients: Pulsatilla (Pasque Flower), Echinacea purpurea, Hepar. sulph, Belladonna, Pulsatilla and Levisticum radix.

About Your Childs Impulsive, Erratic Behavior
If your child seems to become easily agitated and irritable, experiences outbursts or spasms assiciated with tick disorders or has minor behavioral problems such as being impulsive, restless or eratic and non attentive, you've probably spent some time discussing these issues with their teachers, counselors or even doctors.
A distruptive child can not only suffer from being unable to reach their full potential but can also cause stress and troubles between themselves and other students as well as their teachers. This can lead to tension in the home as well.
This can lead to feelings of inadequacy, anger and unhappiness, adding to the problem and causing the child to act out further. This cycle of instability and discord can be hard to break.
There are many different causes for these complaints including diet, allergies, food intolerances, low muscle tone, family problems and even poor health - to name a few! If your body system is balanced and functioning as it should, it makes sense that you will be more likely to keep a steady, easygoing, composed attitude.
