Ear Infection Natural Home Remedies

Home Remedies for Ear Infection The human ear is composed of the inner ear, middle ear, and the outer ear. Ear infection can attack any of these parts and one part can usually infect the others. External otitis affects the outer ear some times it comes after cold or flu or some other kind of upper respiratory infection. The area from the eardrum to the outer part, becomes inflamed and is very painful, sometimes a fever may be developed. Otitis media affects the area inside the eardrum and all the small bones, the air pressure is regulated in this area by the auditory tube running from the ear to the back of the nasal cavity, when bacteria or a virus gets in this area, the different parts become inflamed with fluid, causing pressure and extremely sharp pain in the ear with fever. If the infection is not controlled it can result in eardrum perforation letting all pressure out and relieving pain, but a perforated eardrum means loss of hearing and fluid discharge. This kind of ear infection is very common in infants due to the position of the baby while feeding allowing milk bacteria to grow in the auditory tube. We recommendUse Colloidal silver, as an ear wash, it can be taken orally too. This is a natural antibiotic.Take Vitamin C to help boost the immune system and fight infection.Zinc is also helpful in reducing ear infection.If the infection has just begun take echinacea (alcohol free).Mix lobelia and garlic oil or olive oil, place a few drops in the ear and plug it with cotton this will help with pain.

Valerian: Natural Tranquilizer

Valerian: Today the best known use of this herb is as a natural tranquilizer with a long history of safe use. It also has been used as a stomachic, anti-spasmodic, carminative and has also been used since ancient times in the treatment of epilepsy.

A number of scientific studies have shown that the valeptriates (ingredients of valerian) do act as tranquilers. They produce fewer side effects than Valium and a recent study showed that valerian is useful in helping to bring on sleep. Valerian has an unusual, if not unpleasant odor, however, cats go crazy for it and in fact "intoxicates" them. They will roll around in a garden that contains it.

Special Precautions: Large does may cause vomiting, stupor and dizziness. Continued use may lead to depression. more...
