Coffee for Aggravations
It happens sometimes, that the most violent pains are increased very
much by the smallest dose of the suitable remedy; in such cases give a spoonful
of black coffee (or let the person smell the coffee), and as soon as the aggravation
has ceased, repeat the remedy. If made worse again, repeat the coffee, and so
on until the improvement is permanent.
A homoeopathic physician of the right stamp, a great master, wrote to
the author, that he has given remedies in this way with the greatest success,

Toothache + earache
[Elaine Lewis/Robert Medhurst]
More prescriptions for antibiotics are written for ear infections than
any other illness in childhood!
This is the question we will attempt to answer today! 90% of children
will get an ear infection at least once before their 10th birthday.
< chronic ear infections that never go away or frequently relapse in a short
period of time. These kids become dependent on antibiotics and are on them
seemingly constantly; but ironically, the more antibiotics
they get, the more they relapse!
In other words, antibiotics are part of the problem, and the
side-effects and risks of using these things are much worse than simply waiting
the 2 or 3 days it generally takes
for these middle ear infections to go away on their own with no
consequence to the child’s health.
Even the very conservative CDC admits:“Ear
infections will often get better on their own without antibiotic treatment.
Taking antibiotics when they are not needed can be harmful, and may lead to
unwanted side effects like diarrhea, rashes, nausea,
and stomach pain. More severe side effects may rarely occur; these include
life-threatening allergic reactions, kidney toxicity, and severe skin
reactions.
Each time you or your child takes an antibiotic, the bacteria that
normally live in your body (on the skin, in the intestine, in the mouth and
nose) are likely to become resistant
to antibiotics.”
This would explain the constant relapsing! Other than antibiotics
contributing to this problem, it turns out that the other big causative factor
in ear infections is vaccination.
The title of the following article says it all: “Kids Given Vaccines
Have 22x the Rate of Ear Infections”. 3/22x? That’s quite a number!
The article states the following: In German children, 11% of those
vaccinated reported having ear infections, compared to less than 0.5% of
unvaccinated children.
Similarly, sinusitis was reported in over 32% of vaccinated children,
while the prevalence in unvaccinated children was less than 1%.
An important vaccine safety review was issued by the Institute of Medicine
(10M) in August. According to this review of over 1,000 independent studies on
vaccines,
they were unable to determine whether or not vaccines are a causative
factor in over 100 serious adverse health outcomes.
You know, if the Institute of Medicine can’t determine if vaccinations
cause over 100 serious health problems, I would have to assume that they do; at
least, I would have to
err on the side of caution. In fact, one study published in 2005 by the
American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology found that vaccinated
children suffer higher
rates of asthma and allergies than unvaccinated children.
Bell.: Many infectious diseases in children take are
Bell. And that is? High fever, dry heat, sudden onset, redness (ear/face/whole
side of face might be red), usually a right-sided earache, congestion,
throbbing or piercing sensation, may extend to throat, motion aggravates,
jarring aggravates, glassy eyes, no thirst, intense presentation, child may
be agitated, screaming, parent will be frantic to “do” something!
mental excitement, anxiety, sensory hyperaesthesia, pupil dilation, cold
extremities, redness and acute inflammation. The tympanic membrane often bright
red and bulging,
(throat may be a bright, dry, red, pounding, throbbing pain in the r.
ear, dry skin, aching in the face ext. to the neck, a high fever, face bright
red or flushed. The otitis may
be associated with teething and symptoms come and go quickly.
<:jarring/motion/draught/light/noise/lying flat must sit up; >: bed
rest/warm room;
Cham.: The fact is, the same presentations show up
over and over again despite the name of the disease changing! We can look at a
person with a disease we’ve never
seen before and say, “That’s Cham.!” So now that we’ve cleared that up,
you tell me, what is the Chamomilla presentation,
since it has shown up now in our “Asthma” article, our “Women’s Problems”
article, our “Fever” article…and who knows where else?
[Robin Murphy]
Used to talk about how he’d be walking down the corridor at the clinic,
hear the screaming in the examining room, and say, “Give that child Chamomilla.” I know it sounds
a bit like Bell. but, look at your reaction to the child. The Bell.
child’s parent feels the need to act, to do something, give a medicine, find a
solution, fast!
The Chamomilla child’s parent just wants her
kid to shut-up! There is no sympathy, the parent is fed up!
Ferr-p.: Early stages of all febrile and
inflammatory disorders, and as such is useful in the early stages of otitis. Inflammation and bulging of the tympanic membrane,
lassitude, feverish and yet chilly at around 13 h., tinnitus and flushing of
the face. <: r./night/4 - 6 h./touch/jarring; >: cold applications;
Puls.: Opposite of Cham., whiny rather
than angry and cross. Soft and pitiful with big eyes, they cry too; but, it’s a
soft cry that makes you want to help them, their bodies aren’t stiff and rigid,
they relax into your arms and are better for your comfort. They’re hot, kick
the covers off, want fresh air, the windows opened, thirstless
but may say
yes to cold drinks only; babyish, they want to be softly carried;;
ruptured ear drums with creamy yellow or greenish, bland discharge from ear. He
may have a cough or cold
at the same time. > cool or cold applications.
Changeable symptoms. A mild gentle, weepy and clingy disposition,
appears chilly, fears being alone at night, has a pale face, fever, thirstless, develops a very painful left-sided ear
infection with a thick bland offensive otorrhoea,
tinnitus and deafness, following an upper respiratory tract infection. May be
fever, a thick yellow or green nasal discharge and a desire for open air. Often
wants the head high when lying down. The external ear may be swollen and red.
<: evening/night/heat/warm room/after eating/from rest/lying down or lying
on left side or painless side; >: daytime/open air/motion/cold applications/cold
food and drink/sitting erect;
Hep.: Hypersensitiv. This is the distinuguishing characteristic, the ear is hypersensitive
to touch and cold. There may be sharp and splinter-like pains in the ear.
The ear discharge smells offensive or there may be an abscess that’s not
discharging. Can be very useful for those suffering from chronic otitis with pharyngitis,
deafness, perforations or ulceration of the tympanic membrane, and a yellow
purulent cheesy offensive effusion, all of which may progress to mastoiditis. Often, pain can be felt shooting from throat
to the ear on swallowing. The sufferer may be irritable and experience cold
sweats, hyperaesthesia, may be sensitive to touch. Injuries tend to suppurate
and there may be a history of bacterial infections. Symptoms are often worse
from cold air, dry cold wind and touch, and better from heat, damp weather,
wrapping up, from rest and in the morning.
Mercurius solubilis
A severe sore throat, prostration, fever, night sweats, moist skin,
thick offensive yellow or green discharges, profuse sweating, swollen lymph
nodes, ear pain and excessive salivation may be indicators for this
prescription. The sufferer often experiences tremors in the extremities, is
chilly, craves bread and butter and cold drinks. Symptoms are worse at night,
from heat, a warm room, a warm bed, and from perspiration.
Merc-v.: Also Mercurius
solubilus–no distinction between the two. We usually
just say “Mercury” or Merc-sol or Merc-viv.
So here’s the idea with Mercury: the case is chronic. The ear infection won’t
go away or it keeps relapsing–maybe because of repeated courses of antibiotics.
His first ear infection may well have been Belladonna, but,
he didn’t get it, got antibiotics instead, and the rest is history.
Either way, it’s an old case and a weak, sickly patient who only feels
better lying down. The Mercury patient is so sweaty, he drenches his pyjamas.
The sweat smells bad,
so does his breath. There’s a lot of salivation, drooling in sleep.
The Mercury patient is very sensitive to changes in temperature–he’s
only comfortable within a very narrow temperature range; go one degree outside
of that and he’s either opening or closing windows or throwing the covers off
or putting them back on… The discharge that comes from the ear is green pus or
sometimes yellow and gluey; sensations are burning, bursting, shooting,
pinching, piercing and other kinds of pains and the discharge is offensive-smelling.
Ears may be throbbing, ringing or stopped up. He’s worse at night and from
warmth of the bed. There may be a concomitant sore throat that extends to the
ears with swollen glands.
Acon.: Like Belladonna, onset sudden. You
might have trouble distinguishing with Belladonna. Generally, an Aconite
condition follows exposure to cold/dry winds. The ear is hot and painful, may
be throbbing. Is hypersensitive to noise and music. There’s a fever, possibly a
dry cough and stopped up nose. He’s very thirsty. Belladonna is thirstless.
All-c.: A concomitant cold with the ear infection.
The cold looks like this: the nose running like a faucet, the discharge burning
(upper lip). < in a warm room, > open air.
All-c. all the pains and aches belonging to this
remedy
Calc.: Child cold and sensitive to cold
and may have gotten their ear infection from exposure to cold despite the fact that
they love cold drinks and ice cream. They are over-weight and flabby.
Head is hot and sweaty. His sweat and stools smell sour. Constipated.
May have a concomitant sore throat and swollen glands and tonsils. Ear pain is
throbbing, discharge is thick, yellow and offensive.
Offensive muco-purulent otorrhoea,
night sweats, photophobia, swollen tonsils, enlarged glands and deafness
(teething is occurring at the same time or there’s been a history of delayed
dentition).
Desires: cold drinks/eggs/milk/ indigestible things. The sufferer may
appear to be obstinate, may perspire easily (head and at night) and exhibit a
sour odour, and may complain of a sensitivity to cold around the ears and neck.
<: cold weather/drinking milk/washing; >: lying on the affected side/dry
weather;
Carb-v.: mechanical obstruction to the
Eustachian tubes from swelling of the tonsils.
Ferr-p.: If people would take it right at
the beginning of an infection, they might be able to nip it in the bud! I keep Ferr-p. 200C in a water bottle in the refrigerator
(remember to succus the bottle 5 or 10x before each
dose), it’s been in there for years, and I take a sip every time I think I
might be coming down with something and I never do!
P.S. I have Phosphorus 200C on my night table because a couple of times
I’ve awakened in the middle of the night with an unbelievable and frightening
dry cough as if I had pneumonia, and a dose of Phos.
200C makes fast work of it and it’s all over! I find Ferr-p.
works especially well if I wake up in the middle of the night with sore throat.
Anyway, it’s for the beginning of an infectious process, take it right away!
Lyc.: r.-sided ear infection (moves to
the l. ear). Cases that start on the right, but move to the left. The ear feels
stopped up and he sometimes hears ringing or buzzing. Discharge is thick,
yellow and burning. Look for typical indications for Lyc.:
craving sweets, worse in late afternoon and evening, worse cold air and drafts,
gas and bloating, irritable on waking. Prefers warm drinks like tea.
In this instance, symptoms often start on the right side, then either
stay there or travel to the left. Tinnitus, deafness, thick yellow offensive otorrhoea, desires: sweets/warm food; increased appetite,
flatulence, cold extremities, dry skin, intermittent chills and sweats and
hyperaesthesia to noise. <: late afternoon to evening/on waking/warmth;
>: motion/cold applications/being uncovered;
Sil.: Give when Silica is the
constitutional remedy. Chilly, shy, pale, tired, yielding, weight loss, thin,
frail, weak child with fetid otorrhea, perforated ear
drum, deafness, roaring and hissing in ears, sensitive to loud noises, ears
stopped up, > yawning or swallowing.
Kali-bi: Chronic situations with a perforation of the
ear drum + a muco-purulent discharge. Involved
tissues are irritable, there may be a stringy or globular yellow nasal
discharge, a dry mouth and throat, sinus headache and fever. <:
l/morning/cold; >: heat;
Kali-m.: Eustachian tubes blocked. You know
when you’re on an airplane, and your ears close and they won’t open up? Also,
catarrhal conditions of the middle ear.
Glands about the ear may be swollen. Catarrhal deafness. Crackling
noises on swallowing or nose-blowing. Itching, or as if a plug in the ears.
Eustachian tube may be sore. Discharges white. Chronic otitis
with mastoid involvement and excessive granulation occurring in the inner third
of the auditory canal often respond. Swollen glands, flatulence, deafness,
tinnitus and a history of glue ear and tonsillitis may also be noted here.
<: motion/open air/cold drinks; >: rubbing;
Tell-met.: most important in Otorrhoea.
Discharge smells like fish pickle and is so acrid that it vessicates
any part of the skin it touches. Very slow and long acting.
<: night/at rest/cold weather/lying on painful side/touch;
On examination, one may note a drum head that is dark purple, with
elevated spots in the local area that form vesicles which break and produce a
watery acrid excoriating discharge that smells of fish. Symptoms tend to
develop slowly and deafness may occur.
<: night/cold/touch/lying on affected side; >: lying on the back;
[David Wember, MD]
First thing I ask my patients to do is to stop eating dairy products.
Hahnemann was not opposed to proper nutrition. The high molecular weight
proteins, like casein and
whey, are often allergenic and cause congestion.
Some extra Vitamin C acts as an antihistamine. I use these as adjuncts
to the remedies. If you did nothing else but stop dairy products, it is my
opinion that 50% or more
of these children would cease their recurrent congestion and even otitis media.

Swimmer’s ear:
To limit the risk of becoming infected with swimmer's ear be sure to:
* Keep your ears dry. Dry your outer ear thoroughly after exposure to
moisture from swimming or bathing with a clean towel. Note: never insert your
finger or any sharp
or hard object into your ear.
* Avoid swimming in polluted water.
If you do develop swimmer's ear, before making a trip to the doctor and
turning to prescription antibiotics to deal with swimmer's ear, try following
these easy tips to heal
the infection at home:
* Place a warm (not hot) heating pad over or against your ear to help
reduce pain.
* Keep your ear dry while it's healing. Use earplugs when showering or
bathing. Don't swim or clean your ears until the infection is gone.
* Use natural earache treatments such as Hyland's Earache Drops (Puls. C 30 + Cham. C 30 + Sulph.
C 30 + Calc. C 30 + Bell. C 30 + Lyc. C 30) to
relieve earache symptoms (throbbing, pulsing pain), burning sensation, and ear
congestion.

Wickel bei Ohrenschmerzen
In den meisten Büchern finden wir die Kamillen – und Zwiebelwickel separat aufgezeigt. Aus alten Überlieferungen und aus eigener Praxiserfahrung kann ich jedoch eine Kombination der beiden wärmstens empfehlen.
Wir benötigen:
1 Zwiebel
1 kleine Handvoll Kamillenblüten
1 Gazewindel
Flanellwindel
Zubereitung:
Zerschneiden Sie die Zwiebel in kleine, Würfel und vermischen Sie diese mit den Kamillenköpfchen. Setzen Sie einen Topf mit Wasser auf und legen Sie den Topfdeckel umgekehrt auf.
Das Gemisch schlagen Sie nun in die Gazewindel ein, machen ein handgroßes Päckchen davon. Das Päckchen legen Sie auf den Topfdeckel und lassen es warm werden. Die Flanellwindel zu einem Schal zusammenfalten. Das nun richtig warme Kräuterpäckchen auf den Schal geben und diesen so um den Kopf legen, daß die Kräuter auf dem schmerzenden Ohr sind. Vorsichtig mit einer Sicherheitsnadel befestigen und je nach Vorlieben des Kindes ein Stirnband oder eine Mütze über den Wickel anziehen. So kann der Wickel nicht verrutschen, und das Kind darf sich frei bewegen.
Einwirkzeit:
ca. 1 – 2 Stunden oder länger
Kontraindikation: perforiertes Trommelfell
Often pediatricians say, “Your child has a mild ear infection.” I am
very suspicious of this diagnosis. It often means that the ear drum does not
look quite right, the parents
are anxious, the doctor feels pressured to prescribe something, and so a
diagnosis of “mild ear infection” is used to justify treating the child with
antibiotics. A doctor examining a child’s ear with an otoscope
looks like one of life’s last great mysteries. But what does he see?
It’s so simple. A normal ear drum is pearly white. An infection in the
middle ear (behind the ear drum) turns the ear drum red. But there are many
shades between white
and red. And the ear drum also turns red from other causes - fever, or
the baby crying. And what child doesn’t cry when that otoscope
is poked in his ears? Often the doctor cannot tell just by looking at the ear
drum for a
brief moment whether an ear infection is actually present. In a recent
article, doctors said themselves said, “We are only sure of the diagnosis in
15% of the cases, the rest is hoping and praying!” Sounds like a very low
betting average - and yet in almost 100% of the cases an antibiotic is prescribed.
Physicians and parents would do well to learn some of the great homeopathic
remedies for ear infections. I will cite some of the most common ones.

Ein individuelles Hörtraining bei Lernschwierigkeiten und Konzentrations-Störungen (ADS, ADHS und andere Verhaltens-Auffälligkeiten). Auch bei Tinnitus und Schwerhörigkeit
Benaudira ist eine Weiterentwicklung der Neurostimulation nach Johansen. Holger Raddatz, der aktuelle Entwickler von Benaudira durfte mit “Segen von Johansen” dessen Methode gemäß moderner technischer Möglichkeiten weiterentwickeln.
Vereinfacht zusammengefasst: durch eine gefilterte Musik und gefilterte Texte, die den Hörkurven bzw. den Hörschwächen angepasst wurden, kommt es zu einer Stimulation und Optimierung der hörverarbeitenden Hirnzentren. Dies führt zu Hörbesserungen, deutlicherer Differenzierung des Gehörten und ggf (beim Tinnitus) zur Abschwächung der bösen Dauer-Frequenzen.

[One wonders that more has not
crept into homoeopathic literature regarding the extreme value of Hepar in ear troubles. At outpatients, years ago, a doctor,
trained by Dr. Yunnan (a great prescriber) in India, revealed the marvellous action of Hepar 200 in
single dose in ear troubles. Since then one has used it often with great
effect.
The most striking case was during the War, when "specialists"
were not always at hand. A young girl with very high temperature; much pain;
ear, "sticking out"; the redness and swelling over mastoid denoting
urgency, and no surgeon to hand, got Hepar 200. When
seen, a couple of days later, the whole thing had subsided, temperature, pain
and all. But such cases of urgent responsibility, in normal days, one hands
over, gladly, to the ear surgeon. One remembers hearing of a patient brought to
hospital too late, where pus was found, not only in brain, but down the spinal
cord].

Abscesses frequently formed in the ears of
young children. Generally preceded by violent pains, giving rise to screaming,
rolling and tossing of the head, sudden starting out of sleep and more or less
fever.
As soon as the abscess breaks and matter is
discharged the pain ceases. Belladonna, Mercurius, Chamomilla, and Pulsatilla, are
the best remedies for the pain.
Acute earache:
Suffering from violent earache, acute stabbing pain in the ear, and tenderness
over the mastoid region, when you first look at it from the homoeopathic
standpoint you are completely lost.

The Homoeopathic Domestic
Physician -Constantine Hering,
Tinnitus: perception of sound in the human ear in the
absence of corresponding external sound. Tinnitus can be perceived in one or
both ears or in the head. It is usually described as a ringing noise,
but in some patients it takes the form of a high pitched whining,
buzzing, hissing, humming, or whistling sound, or as ticking, clicking,
roaring, etc. It has also been described as a `whooshing` sound, as of wind or
waves.
Chin.: Ringing in the ear, which becomes worse if
the ear is lightly touched but diminishes on giving hard pressure on the ear.
Painless diarrhoea only at night is another important
feature.
Kali-i.: Suffers with noises in the ear with boring
pain. > in open air.
Sal-ac.: Roaring and ringing in the ears + deafness
and vertigo or giddiness. Difficult to maintain balance and tends to fall to
the left side.
[Mark J. Eisen]
Excerpted from a conference on the Natural Treatment of Ear Infections,
held in Chapel Hill, NC, in 1994.
Eardrops sold over the counter, excellent for the treatment of middle
ear infections (otitis media) may contain borage,
garlic or mullein oils or other herbal preparations.
2 - 4 warmed drops (hold bottle or glass dropper under running warm
water until it reaches baby bottle temp.) are put in the affected ears and a
bit of cotton put in.
Repeat 4 - 6x daily in acute situations. The child's head should be kept
warm and covered. For older children a scarf should be worn around the neck. Do
not use ear drops
if the drum has ruptured (you will see pus draining out, which may be
bloodstained. See your doctor immediately if this happens. Not surprisingly,
the child's pain almost always stops as soon as the eardrum ruptures - this is
because the intense pressure stops as soon as the pus can run out).
Homeopathic Remedies
In anthroposophical therapy we often try to
gently aid the healing effort, but not compel a change. I will use homeopathic
remedies in the C 6 potencies; if these are unavailable or the situation is
acute (crying baby, pain in ear) C 30 can be used for several doses. If there
is no response, contact your health care practitioner. Follow recommendations
on the packages or from your practitioner.
Cham.: child is fretful, peevish, and irritable/want water, then throw the
bottle down after a sip/may arch their back and throw their head back,
sometimes screaming.
Puls.: typically have creamy yellowish
discharges and they are very "clingy," crying if set down. They are
often piteous to look at.
Acon.: onset of the earache is sudden.
The pains are knife-like, the child is cool to the touch. Face may be red.
Bell..high fever, red and hot, dry faces. The pain is throbbing. Little
thirst. May appear frightened.
Ferr-p.: use immediately at the initial
stages. Often violent, throbbing pain relieved by cold applications. Anxious, restless
and hypersensitive to noise.
Kali-m.: white tongue and swollen glands. Often cracking noises on swallowing
or blowing nose.
Sil.: = Puls + C.
Deafness: Hydr. Mez.
Verb.
Weleda and WALA make an eardrop - an oil
extraction of lovage root (= Levisticum
ex radix) which can be prescribed by your physician. Called Levisticum
Oil, 10% Ear Drops. Follow instructions as above or as directed by the
physician.
Levisticum Radix D 3 is a specific remedy
suggestion by R.S. and not generally used by homeopaths. I have found it to be
a superb preparation for use in uncomplicated ear infections. It is available
by prescription only from Weleda or in the
preparation called Apis/Levisticum D2/3 from wa (also by
prescription). Your physician can prescribe this for you. The child is given 1
- 7 drops (one drop per year of age) of the former, diluted in a teaspoon of
water, or 2 - 5 globuli of the latter on the tongue,
up to hourly while awake. The amount is somewhat age dependent but 1 - 2 drops
or globuli more or less than recommended should cause
no problem.
Other Therapies
Chamomile Compresses
can be applied for earache pain. A chamomile tea bag is dipped once into boiled
water, removed and placed on a handkerchief, which is then wrung out
thoroughly. The warm (watch out it's not too hot) compress is placed over the
painful ear and secured in place with a folded dry washcloth and a little
stocking cap. Never secure compresses under or around a small child or infant's
neck.
Onion Compresses may help when the infection is smoldering - when it
neither comes out nor is resorbed. A few teaspoons of
chopped onions are gently sauteed in olive oil until
just glassy in appearance. Placed in a handkerchief and rolled, then wrapped
behind the ear (again, watch the temperature) and secured in place as above.
Often the sulfurous element in the onion adds enough warmth to enhance the
body's response. (raw onion in slices serves oft >)
Lemons on the feet will help if the child is excessively congested and
uncomfortable; place a wafer thin slice of lemon on the bottoms of the feet;
secure carefully with a little gauze, then replace the child's sock back on the
foot. This will help reduce congestion quickly. In this case it is the sour,
acidic element of the lemon that draws us down more deeply into the body and
helps to dry out the head.
In addition to the above measures for acute and chronic conditions, an anthroposophic, homeopathic or naturopathic physician would
want to address the often underlying digestive dysfunction which accompanies
the child who tends to ear infections, looking for ways to strengthen the
breakdown of food substances in the early portion of the digestive tract. This
may enhance selectivity of absorption of nutriments, leading to a > feeling
for foods, and healthier appetites. It will also enhance elimination and proper
bowel functions. I have repeatedly found that attention to digestion is
necessary in cases where the ear infections recur more than one or two times
after using the above remedies.
All natural drug therapy for conditions such as otitis
need to be accompanied by careful observation on the parent's part and
re-examination by the practitioner when needed.
I find it useful with new parents to have telephone contact with them at
least daily during a child's first few illnesses. This creates confidence that
they will get the help they need, and keeps me reassured that the parents are
clear about instructions and that the child continues to do well. It is
essential to work with a qualified health care practitioner when your child is
ill, especially those under two years of age with fever. The advice given here
is not meant to be used without good observation, common sense and appropriate
professional care.
