Ear Problems

 

Query: How to treat ear infections and avoid them  in future would be most use to me right now!

 

Reply: This is one of those situations where only a qualified professional, after taking a detailed case history, could guide you. Frequently this type of symptom occurs because the mind-body is under stress (in the very broad sense of the term). So the ears, in your case, may simply be your weak area - that may be where you get your symptoms. 

 

What do I mean by 'under stress'? Perhaps too much work, worrying, pressure, etc. Or not enough fun, enjoyment, 'good things going on' in your life, etc.

The result is that the immune system gets 'run down' and we get symptoms in our weakest area. 

 

Imagine a chain, made up of all the body's systems - respiratory, circulatory, digestive, skin, organs, etc. There seems to be a tendency for one of these to be less strong than others and it is a personal thing which one it is. So when we are 'under a lot of stress'', and the whole chain is being stretched to it's limit, something must give and our personal weakest link experiences symptoms.

 

The answer? First get professional guidance. Depending on your preferences this may include seeking a medical diagnosis - and if it is a persistent or long-term symptom, I would certainly recommend this to begin with. Then engage in whatever treatment programme is suggested. 

 

Finally begin a programme to ensure you are less likely to succumb to the symptom again - by reducing stress, building up your immune/defense system.

One other thing, it's useful to see all symptoms as messages - a message that something is not as it should be in your mind-body - and then to begin considering what assistance the mind-body needs from you to be able to function even more effectively.

NLP

NLP is used to develop the ideas and themes on this site. I have been using it for over two decades to help me understand how I and other people tick and in my work as a consultant and trainer - and it continually impresses me.
