Ear congestion, pain or blockage is usually a result of phlegm. The sooner this issue is addressed the better, since phlegm can be difficult to resolve. Not addressing this issue soon enough can result in pain and in extreme cases ruptured ear drums. Addition pain is often noted with change of elevation, so traveling over mountain passes, or in airplanes can be a problem.
Drinking green tea in the morning, ginger tea, anytime, fresh lemon juice in food, tea, water, eating beets and daikon all help reduce phlegm. Completely avoid dairy, since it produces mucous and phlegm, as do oily, greasy, fatty, or sweet foods. Minimize eggs. And, of course, get into see your Acupuncturist for herbal formulas and Acupuncture to dispel phlegm.
