Ears

Cleansing the ears with herbs, known as Ear Candling is an ancient healing art used in initiation ceremonies by the Egyptians, Mayans and Tibetans.

A variety of alternative treatments have been used in reliefing the symptoms of Tinnitus (the ringing, buzzing, or hissing sound heard inside one or both ears).

Nose

A sinus wash is recommended as part of your daily personal hygiene regimen. Cleansing your sinuses in this manner relieves symptoms associated with colds, flu, sinus infections, nasal dryness, allergies, and other sinus irritations. It also helps reduce swelling of the nasal membranes.

Astringent herbs that can be used topically to decrease or eliminate bleeding in bloody noses are Agrimony, Yarrow, and Witch Hazel. Inhalation and application to the body of essential oils derived from herbal plants to induce the "smell" senses bring about balance and well being.

Throat and Neck

Laryngitis can be the result of repressing feelings of anger.

The challenge of opening a closed throat chakra is to express ourselves in the most truthful manner.

Acute Torticollis(neck muscle spasm) is a temporary condition that normally takes approximately two weeks to resolve. Recommended treatments are the use of heat, massage using soothing essential oils, supportive cervical collar, muscle relaxants, analgesics, and chiropractic adjustment.
