Eye Wrinkles-Natural Preventive Techniques

Although wrinkles are part of the aging process, there are certain conditions that cause them to appear much earlier. The layers of the skin under the eyes are thin and fragile so they tend to break easily. Some women go to the extent of submitting themselves to surgical procedures in the hope of diminishing the lines. This can be very expensive though not to mention risky. Natural and organic sunblock creams make a great alternative to these procedures. But apart from that, there are natural ways you can prevent or delay the onset of eye wrinkles. For instance,avoid squinting. So use dark glasses or a wide-brimmed hat when you go out. You should also avoid pulling or tugging at the skin around the eyes when you wash your face and put on make up. It’s been suggested to use your ring finger when you have to apply a concealer, foundation or moisturizer because it’s a weaker finger so you won’t have to apply too much pressure on the area.

Ear Pain

Ear pain  depends on where the pain originated. Causes may either due to traumas and/or ear infection

Three sections of human ears:

• Outer
• Middle
• Inner ear

Two types of  Ear Pain

* Otitis media – inflammation of the middle ear that is common on children
* Otitis externa – infection of the outer ear and is common during winter season

Symptoms of Ear Pain

Symptoms for otitis media include catching fever or a minor illness, dizziness, fluid or pus discharge, hearing problems, itchiness, painful sensation and vomiting.

For otitis externa, there is itchiness in the infected ear, inflammation accompanied by fluid discharges, severe pain even by the slightest movement of the jaw or ear lobes, slight fever, and temporary decline in hearing.

Causes of Ear Pain

Otitis media is primarily caused by a blockage of the eustachian tubes, an air passageway that is found in the middle of your middle ear and throat. It can be due to cold, allergies or other respiratory problems. This blockage allows entry to bacteria to build up in the middle ear and cause infection. Ear drums may swell if infected by a virus. Although infant and children are the main targets, it can also affect adults.

Otitis externa is the inflammation of the outer ear and the ear canal. It can be caused by none, or both bacterial and fungal infections. It is often called the “swimmer’s ear” primarily because the condition is most prevalent to swimmers and those who have prolonged exposure to water. Swimming in contaminated water will trigger this condition as there are chances bacteria can infect the skin, especially if there are ear impairments.

Nutritional deficiency, allergy and other infections are also some factors that may cause ear infections.

Home Remedies / Treatment for Ear Pain

Garlic:
Put few drops of garlic juice into the infected ear.

Blow dry:
This is to remove excess water trapped in the Eustachian tube, use a blow dryer from about 12 to 15 inches from your head.

Olive oil:
Using a warm spoon, put 2 to 3 drops of olive oil in each ear.

Lobelia:
Put few drops of lobelia extract into the infected ear and rub it gently.

Colloidal Silver:
It is a natural antibiotic that the patient can use to wash and clean their ears.
Mango: Put few drops of mango juice in the infected ear using a warm teaspoon.

Diets Suggestions for Ear Pain

Eat lots of foods reach in calcium and vitamin C to boost your immune system and help fight infection. You can also take in tablet form.

Zinc will also help reduce ear infection.

Avoid processed foods and foods that are rich in hydrogenated oils.

Breast-feeding is the most effective way to combat any infection for infants.

Other Treatments for Ear Pain

Stay away from smoke fumes as it blocks the Eustachian tube passageway.
Stay away from people with colds.
Keep your hands clean when touching your ear by washing it regularly in antibacterial

   I can see garlic juice being effective for ear ache because garlic is a natural antibiotic. I do believe it will work.

   I love home remedies and you’ve got plenty of good ones here!

   My husband has a bad pain in his right ear. We actually don’t know if it’s the ear or the tooth that hurts (how can you figure out which one it is?), but when he gets home tonight I’ll try the garlic juice and the olive oil. They make sense to me and they are very handy. They should work well.
