Ear Infection and its Treatment
Ear Infections can be extremely painful for young children and often parents feel stressed and unclear about what to do when their son or daughter is in pain. Antibiotics have long been the treatment offered by medical specialists. However, recent studies have concluded using antibiotics does not offer much help with this painful pediatric condition.
Treatment:
1. Ginger is a powerful anti-inflammatory that can soothe inflamed tissues like painful ears and swollen Eustachian tubes. Ginger is best used raw. I love adding raw ginger to my vegetable juices - it gives them a nice tang. Added to soups, teas and stir frys, it has a warming effect on the body. If you have not got raw ginger then use it a powder, capsule or preserved form.
2. Anistil is the remedy helping adults overcome ear infections and prevent new ones. No side effects and good for your overall health as well. I can't imagine you'd look for anything else, not if you know the truth about ear infections, so I'll leave you with a parting tip to keep in mind that your health is most important and Anistil knows that too.
3. Fasten the warm onion bag to the painful ear with a woolen scarf or hat. (Use only natural materials, like cotton, wool, flax or silk.)
4. Xylitol is a great option for those that are seeking to avoid ear infections. This naturally occurring substance has proven to reduce the incidence of ear infection in those that have a history of them. The substance is derived from raspberries as well as plums and is a naturally occurring sweetener.
5. Take the child off refined sugars including sugar, corn syrup, corn sweeteners, turbinado sugar, brown sugar, honey, and others-sugar weakens the immune system.
6. An imbalanced diet with too much refined food causes an accumulation of toxins and a breeding ground for bacteria. It is important to base the diet around fresh fruit and vegetables, quality proteins, natural oils and small amounts of whole grains.
7. One of the most renowned ear infection remedies is vitamin C. Most homes will have a supply of vitamin C. Take at least 3-5 gram a day to strengthen your immunity.
8. Herbs can build protection and natural immunity to all types of infections. Olive leaf extract, astragalus and echinacea (which is particularly good for children) are good choices as effective inner ear infection remedies. These herbs can be taken as a tea or in liquid, capsule or tablet form
9. Take the children off all dairy products-they are mucous forming and will drive mucous into the inner ear.
10. Use homeopathic eardrops to soothe the ears.
