Ear infections

Oiling ears was considered healthy in Ayurveda. With development of modern medicine without unholistic thinking doctors warned common public that oiling of ears was unhealthy. In our experience we have seen children born in USA especially prone to less ear infections who were not given oiling to ears. But those children whose ears were oiled right after from birth, had not even once attack of ear infections. Oiling and massaging the new born infant before bath is a very healthy practice.

For those who are skeptic of this information and trust only research news can  Click here  to read about a study showing that oil prevent infectious bacteria to dodge on the skin surfaces. This indirectly proves the importance of oiling the ears with good quality oil.

Method:    Adding a few drops of unrefined coconut oil or sesame oil to ears often (at-least once a week) is very good for healthy ears of the kid.

Gingered oil: Take a piece of well dried ginger. Pierce with a needle and immerse the ginger in coconut oil. Then allow the ginger piece to catch fire (use a candle or lamp). Then hold the ginger over a clean small vessel or a big tablespoon. Drop drops of coconut oil over the burning ginger drop by drop. Then burned oil drops down on the table spoon. After the oil is cool, add these drops of oil into the ear. To my knowledge any type of ear infections goes with this. Use clear oil, don't drop any particles into the ear.

Another remedy: Turmeric powder 1 gms, 1 garlic pod and 5 table spoons of coconut oil or neem oil or sesame oil. Boil well and filter and store in a clean bottle. Every time add one or three drops of the oil for smelling and painful ear infections. Drop only the clear oil and not the dust into the ears.
