Help Needed With Ear Blockage and PainPosted By Charo (Malaga) on 07/07/2022
I have had horrible problems with my ears in the past 10 days. Previous to that my lungs had been sore for some weeks and had some wheezing when laying down. I am a smoker but not a heavy one. I had no cough just a feeling of phlegm that would not come up. 3 weeks ago I got a fever and felt tired and my lungs felt worse.
This lasted for 2 days and 3 days later I got horrible ear pain. I tried peroxide, I tried smoke in ear, warm olive oil, garlic infused olive oil, some natural oil from pharmacy, the pain got leas but the ear got blocked and now I have a horrible pressure in it and a horrid sound like a wind.
I feel my hearing is worse in that ear too. It sometimes itches and now it starts to hurt when I touch it as well. I have no insurance and some bad teeth so doctor /dentist is not a n option right now. Anything I put in seemingly makes it worse.
The pressure is horrid when I smoke but it’s not an option to quit completely right now due to high anxiety. I smoke 4 a day. When I smoke it’s like a helmet of pressure. The wheezing is better but the ear pressure is not disappearing and I tried ALL exercises and natural cures. The pain when pulling and touching is new.
Please help.

This should be easy to fix!
If you are prepared to commit to the following dozen suggestions, I believe you will be experiencing significant relief within a week at little real cost (or need for insurance):-
- Try Mullen drops for the ears if you can get some. Mullen is a herb
- A Netti Pot treatment for irrigation of the sinuses, ear, nose and throat. Clean / disinfect the pot each time! Buy one from a chemist or on line - an INVESTMENT to be treasured!
- Ayurveda nose breathing exercises - very important to do four times per day for at least a week - do them SLOWLY!
- Gargling with warm to slightly hot, salty water for at least 30 seconds four times per day - change drinking vessel regularly!
- Massaging the Lymph nodes with the fingers in the neck on a regular basis - whenever you remember - to get the lymph juices flowing nicely - you are clogged up!
- A warm hot water bottle on the pillow at night underneath the ear - cover with a tea towel if too hot - very soothing!
- Apple Cider Vinegar (+ the "Mother") Honey and warm water consumption three times per day (say)
- Citrus (preferably lemon) in hot water with Manuka Honey if possible (other honey of good quality is almost as beneficial) - plenty of lemons in Spain!
- Gradually reduce your smoking
- Drink twice as much water as you are currently doing
- Alkalize the body - check out the Baking Soda remedies on this Site
- Your teeth will possibly be causing more problems than you may realize. Dental problems affect many other parts of the body.
How to do many of the above suggestions are all described in fine detail in many parts of this Site (Earth Clinic). Start by clicking on the "Ailments" section on the top, left hand side of your screen.
Wishing you luck and kindly advise your progress please so that we may all learn from your experience

Also, try nebulizing 3% hydrogen peroxide brown bottle for your lung issues.
Thomas E. Levy, MD Recipe:
For some, the 3% concentration results in too much stinging/burning in the nose. Such individuals can dilute with water until they find their highest tolerable concentration. Nearly everybody can tolerate a 50/50 combination of the 3% hydrogen peroxide and distilled water. However, still lower concentrations can be utilized with clearly beneficial effects.

Also, "breathing thru" water with a squirt of h2o2 in the mouth - 2-3 times a day, has helped any sort of breathing and lung issues within a week.
