The auditory system is responsible for the processing of sound and the regulation of balance, and is one of the body’s
most delicate and sensitive systems. When functioning properly, it enables a person to hear the faintest cry or maintain
equilibrium in the most extreme circumstances. But the very complexity that allows for such precision also makes the ear
susceptible to a wide range of ailments.
There are a wide variety of ear-related disorders, ranging from common ear infections to severe conditions such as
chronic otitis media, Meniere’s disease, tinnitus, and hearing loss. Symptoms may include ear pain and stuffiness,
inflammation, nerve damage, problems with balance, and dizziness.
Practitioners of alternative medicine believe that a large percentage of these disorders involve food and environmental
allergies, as well as the overuse of antibiotics. Dietary changes, nutritional supplements, herbal therapy, and
homeopathic remedies are often highly effective treatments, helping to eliminate the need for antibiotics and surgery.
