Beating the ear infection blues

There are many parents and adults that have faced a winter of recurring ear infections, glue ear, or that unbearably painful earache just before bedtime. There is not a lot of serenity either when it comes to kids and earaches.

Harbord Homeopathic Clinic has conducted a study of clients suffering from ear infections and glue ear. The clinic has built itself a bit of a reputation in successfully treating ear issues, especially in children, so it is interesting to see how the results of the study would refl ect this.

EARMIX (KALI MUR AND FERRUM PHOS)

Available from Harbord Homeopathic Clinic, Earmix is one of the weapons in the fi ght against gummed up Eustachian tubes. This is made up of a couple of tissue salts (Kali muriaticum 3x and Ferrum phosphoricum 3x), which when taken over a long term basis can help to drain the fl uid from the middle ear, reduce infl ammation and allow for the body to better fi ght the infections. Couple this with a constitutional homeopathy remedy to help with the specifi cs of the problem, and there is a powerful yet gentle means of helping to wipe out chronic ear issues, often for good. Overall, the statistics of this study show a complete and permanent resolution of ear complaints in 27% of the children in the study. A further 30% of children experienced a complete resolution of their symptoms with the need to return at a later date for issues that were once again resolved completely by the use of the remedies. Then there were the 27% who experienced an incomplete but satisfactory reduction in their symptoms to the point where a measure of relief was gained. It is interesting to note that many of these children were still eating daily. Adding these categories together gives us a whopping 84% effectiveness in resolving chronic and acute middle ear issues.

The Aurum Project, Australia’s fi rst natural medicine research charity, based in Brookvale, supported this glue ear study.

How effective is it to treat a child with ear issues using Earmix plus a constitutional homeopathy remedy?

CHRONIC PAIN AND BEHAVIOUR

When a child is in chronic pain and their ears are blocked, it is likely to have a far reaching effect far beyond just their ears. Behaviour, dietary preferences, sleep, development, language and social cues are all examples of what may be compromised. The child may be in a state of constant pressure and irritation within the ear canals as well as reduced hearing.

RECURRENT EAR INFECTIONS AND HOMEOPATHY RESEARCH

The results of the Harbord Homeopathic Clinic’s study have been really quite exciting. Looking at the fi les of a number of children suffering from a round of acute ear infections, there were often no follow up appointments recorded on their fi les. After calling the parents of these children, the study discovered there had been no need for a follow- up since. In those cases, the ear infection resolved within 24-48 hours, and they had no further need to follow up. In some of these children, they had experienced recurrent ear infections for months and had often taken many rounds of antibiotics.
