Natural Ear Infection Remedy

In order to help you choose evidence-based complementary treatment we would like you to get a better understanding of middle ear infection and the treatments options available.

Natural Ear Infection Relief

What causes a middle ear infection?

A small tube connects your ear to your throat. A cold can cause this tube to swell. When the tube swells enough to become blocked, it can trap fluid inside your ear. This makes it a perfect place for germs to grow and cause an infection.

How does an ear infection occur?

The small space behind the eardrum in the middle ear is normally filled with air. It is connected to the back of the throat by a tiny channel called the Eustachian tube.
The middle ear space sometimes becomes filled with mucus (fluid), often during a 'cold'. The mucus may then become infected by bacteria or viruses. Children with glue ear who have mucus behind their eardrum are more prone to ear infections. Sometimes an ear infection occurs 'out of the blue' for no apparent reason.

When the middle ear is actually infected with bacteria (or occasionally, viruses) rather than just inflamed, it is more serious. A chronic ear infection may be the result of an acute ear infection that does not clear completely, or the result of recurrent ear infections. The infection may spread into the mastoid bone behind the ear (mastoiditis), or pressure from fluid build-up may rupture the eardrum or damage the bones of the middle ear.

Young children with otitis media may be irritable, fussy, or have problems feeding or sleeping. Older children may complain about pain and fullness in the ear. Fever may be present in a child of any age. These symptoms are often associated with signs of upper respiratory infection such as a runny or stuffy nose or a cough.

The buildup of pus within the middle ear causes pain and dampens the vibrations of the eardrum (so there is usually transient hearing loss during the infection). Severe ear infections may cause the eardrum to rupture. The pus then drains from the middle ear into the ear canal. The hole in the eardrum usually heals with medical treatment.

Chronic Ear Infection

A chronic ear infection may be more destructive than an acute ear infection because its effects are prolonged or repeated, and it may cause permanent damage to the ear. However, a chronic, long-term infection may show less severe symptoms -- so the infection may remain unnoticed and untreated for a long time.

Children who have recurring bouts of otitis media may have a tympanostomy tube (ear tube) placed into the ear during surgery to permit fluid to drain from the middle ear. If a child has a bulging eardrum and is experiencing severe pain, a myringotomy (surgical incision of the eardrum) may be done to release the pus.

Ear infections happen mostly to young children because their tubes are smaller and get blocked more easily.

Pharmacologic Treatments

Nowadays powerful development of pharmacology and industrial production of medicines encourages growth of treatment by medication. Simplicity of application, availability and rapid effect give priority to pharmacotherapy. However, along with their therapeutic effect, medicines can cause pathologic conditions that are associated with side effects.

Many allergic conditions and autoimmune processes are caused by medicines. Furthermore, treatment by medication does not restore our own body's defense mechanisms. This point of view makes physicians turn back to the experience of natural healing factors and carry out investigations in order to find medication-free treatment methods.

6 branches are operating under our brand in Earlsfield (London), Bexleyheath, Tunbridge Wells (Kent), Edinburgh (Scotland), Milton Keynes (Buckinghamshire) and in Johannesburg

Salt Therapy is clinically proven:

To clear mucus from the airways thus removing airflow obstruction
To enhance mucociliary clearance mechanism in both asthmatic and healthy subjects
To balance airway-surface liquid
To provide anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects
To reduce bronchial hyperresponsiveness
To improve lung function
To help clear unwanted inhaled particles from lungs

Salt Therapy helps to treat all four major processes acting on the bronchi: inflammation, excessive mucus, spasm (bronchospasm), and hyperreactivity.
In most patients, after the course of Salt Therapy, airways become normal and symptoms disappear.

Client Testimonial

"We’ve been coming for salt therapy sessions 3 times a week for one month. After the second week there was still much fluid in the ear, after the third week it became less and after the fourth week there was no fluid in the ear. Last two weeks speech was improved a lot and hearing test is scheduled, but tube surgery is cancelled. (2 years old)"
