Hi all,
So I have had lots of die off lately and started feeling a little under the weather yesterday. Then today, just a few hours ago, my ear started to hurt like an earache and now it feels like a full blown ear infection (left ear only). It feels totally plugged and I can hardly hear out of it. The crazy thing is this literally happened within an hour or two. It hurts so bad I feel like I'm going to throw up. I wrote Matia but don't know how long it'll take her to get back to me. Anyone else have suggestions??? It's quite unbearable.

I have had this on and off
I have had this on and off before and she usually has me do goldenseal drops in my ears. you could also try ear candling
Earache
Try warmed olive, garlic or mullein oil, put on a piece of cottonwool and plug it in the ear. Can also put a piece of garlic or onion in the ear directly - be careful its not too small a piece or u could have trouble getting it out. Also, massage olive oil behind the ear and round the whole area. Warmth helps - lie down with the ear on a hot water bottle-not too hot though.
me too
She changed my formula--and put me on ear, 48, 49, gan mao ling etc. I wouldnt put anything in there until you hear from her!!! Personally I think you should boil water and put a cloth in it and apply it to your ear. Its what my mom used to do when I was a kid, and with this latest die off it's really helped me. The herb change drastically helped me within minutes btw--except since the initial start, I've had ear issues on and off. Ugh.
thank you!
thank you all!your suggestions got me through the night and this morning heard word from Matia, so hopefully this will be better soon! Oh, also, has anyone had pain on the part of the jaw right underneath the ear along with this? I assume it's all die off, but wow, the inner ear pain in combination with jaw pain is quite intense! Feels like that whole area is going to explode.
ugh yes
yep. it sucks. the whole thing has been coming and going for me. and then both sides hurt ESPECIALLY on those lymph nodes. jaw tightness, face pain etc. hang in there!!
doesnt it feel like you get crazy die off in one area at a time? yuck.
Me Too!
I have had this as well! I believe it is the lymph working itself out. You have lymph nodes that extend from the base of the ear going into the throat. Remember, this is where doctors palpate you when you are sick? You are doing A-OK! Drink lots of fluids and try some light exercise or yoga to get things moving. I reckon you are just backed up!
