Hear! Hear! You Don't Have to Live With Achy Ears!

No doubt, if you are reading this, you or someone close to you has suffered with treated but still recurring ear infections. Middle ear infections (otitis media) account for the majority of children's doctor visits in the United States. Most children will have at least one ear infection by the age of two or three. The cost of managing ear infections in the US is $6 million annually. It's very common and expensive! But, you know there is more than one way to get into the "house of health" and homeopathy is a good option. It is safe, effective and inexpensive.

So Now What?

First, you will want to get rid of obstacles to getting well. Remove dairy from diet because that can make a huge difference in decreasing mucous production. Maybe there are some other offending foods, so get rid of those too but, I find with the right homeopathic remedy one can do pretty darn good without getting into really severe diet restrictions.

Ear infections are only the tip of the iceberg and in order to deal really effectively with that iceberg you need to see a professional classical homeopath. They can find a remedy that will restore natural harmony for the whole body - ears included!

But, lets say it is the weekend and in the wee hours of the night and you recognize the old ear ache scenario developing. Your child wakes with crying, aggitation, restlessness, pulling his ear, his face is red and you can feel radiant heat coming off of him but his hands and feet may remain cool. Fever is present yet he is not thirsty. If you see this picture have a look at the homeopathic remedy Belladonna 30c.

If the symptoms come on after the child has been chilled or if the weather has changed from hot to cold you could be looking at a different remedy. Especially, if the onset is sudden and around midnight and the child is acting anxious, has fever, is sweating and has thirst. There may even be a croupy dry cough. Aconitum 30c would, most likely, work better than Belladonna.

Chamomilla 30c is good for cases where the child is screaming with pain and is restless, irritable and oversensitive. Children who respond well to Chamomilla are hard to please. They want to be carried and then when you carry them they want to be put down. They want a drink of water and you give it to them and they throw the cup. You get the picture!

The above remedies have been found to be very helpful with acute ear infections. But, to strengthen the body so as to decrease the tendency towards ear infections you need to contact a homeopath. They can pinpoint the best remedy to bring balance and harmony to your health. So be observant of the symptom picture. The body has so many answers within itself!

Some Common Questions

So, how many doses should be given?

Only one. Wait and see the response. If there is calming and sleep then good! Don't give any more. The remedy has done it's job. If it works for while then wears off then repeat it. The doses will start to space out as improvement sets in.

What if it does not work?

Then it was not the right remedy. Contact a homeopath for a proper work up.

Where can I find homeopathic remedies to buy?

At the health food store or on-line. Make sure you keep them away from strong odors, your cell phone, microwave, tv, etc. as that can ruin them.

And lastly, use your common sense. Use this information safely and appropriately. Serious illness should never be treated without seeking expert advice.

Homeopathic Medicine for Children and Infants

by Dana Ullman

I like this book because the content is helpful to not only children but adults as well. Adults get sunburned and sprained ankles too! You could also use the information to treat pets! An example would be if the pet got stung by a bee. The pet would need the same remedy a human would. It is light weight and that makes it easy to take on vacation

    Hi Diamond, I would look at her diet first. I don't know what base the formula your grand daughter is using but I can say that soy is infamous for causing allergies that can make one more susceptible to ear infections. Just a bit of info on soy based infant formula: unless it says organic on the label it is genetically modified soy. This is not good. The soy that is genetically modified has a built-in pesticide. When the insect eats a bit of it, it's stomach splits open and it dies. So, of course, this type of soy should also not be ingested by humans. There is also 1000% more aluminum in soy formula than conventional milk-based formulas. Soy formula has 80 times higher manganese than what is in human breast milk and this is too much. Infants fed exclusively soy formula receive the estrogenic equivalent (based on body weight) of at least five birth control pills per day! Soy can also depress thyroid function and inhibit enzymes needed for protein digestion.

    The Gerber baby food-is it organic? If not, I would switch to an organic baby food. Making it fresh would be best.

    If you want to make your own infant formula Dr. Mercola has a recipe and good articles on his site:
    http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2005/10/11/healthy-alternative-to-conventional-infant-formula-part-1.aspx

    So, that is where I would start. If after the diet and/or other possible obstacles to health are removed (animal hair?) and she is still getting ear infections then I would look at seeing a professional homeopath to sort it out. Good luck!

    My grand daughter is 10 months and she has had two ear infections in one month. Her one ear cannal if formed right until you get to the opening that leads out of the ear. She is on formula and she does not take it to bed and she is at a 45 degree angle or setting up drinking. She has drank from a sippy cup since she was 5 months because she will not drink water from a bottle. She has 2 teeth and she eats gerber foods also. My girls never had ear infections but now my grand daughter does. What can I do to help her.

    Aconite truly is a wonder remedy. I've had success in aconitum cases of ear infections as well as for calming injured kids and animals down to assess and treat them.

    Anna introduced our family to homeopathic remedies probably 4 years ago. We have treated blood clots, sinus infection, anxiety, back pain, sties, bladder infection, colds, growing pains, to name a few. It is amazing what these little pellets can do. We reduced doctor's visits and avoided many prescriptions that have other side effects. We are so thankful that Anna educated us on this type of treatment.

    Homeopathic remedies are the most innocuous and unobtrusive resources
    for
    dealing with different ailments (regardless of their nature - emotional
    or
    physical). They will not harm other parts of the body, while fixing
    your
    main issue.
    If provided by a true homeopath, remedies are not only cost efficient
    and
    safe to use, but they can have inmediate results, making you feel like
    you're dealing with magic. Homeopathy has been very helpful to me!

    In the case of my seven month old son, I can attest to the fact that the above remedies when indicated, have worked like a charm for teething problems as well. Anna, you were a total miracle worker in helping to pull me out of that nasty case of Influenza A earlier this year. Apparently that virus has mutated and therefore the vaccinations have been ineffective. There is no such thing as 'ineffective' in homeopathy when the right remedy is given. On both this occasion and a previous occasion back in 2005, another acute, under your guidance I have directly experienced the power of homeopathy when given the right remedy. It is absolutely amazing and I can see why it is your passion! Many thanks :)
