NATURAL CURES - MORE THAN HOME REMEDIES
On these pages are natural cures for the eyes and ears
that we have used ourselves or have verified with health books. These
alternative cures may use herbs, pure essential oils, vitamins,
and/or food. They are more than home remedies, folk medicine, or
old wives' tales!
Children and babies should not
be exposed to cigarette smoking or even the lingering smell on
a smoker's clothes. Studies show that children and babies who
are exposed get more ear infections and the infections last longer.
Talk to your doctor before making any major change. Starting
a natural remedy may require your doctor to change the dose of your prescription
medicines. You can read more about this in our articles.
Rubbing your eyes (from allergies, smog, etc.)
can actually damage your eyesight.
EYES AND EARS SHOULD BE PROTECTED
EYES
Contrary to the belief of some teenagers, sunglasses were not made
to make you look cool. Sunglasses really do protect your eyes from the sun's
glare and its harmful rays. They also help prevent crow's feet - those
wrinkles on the side of the eyes - so they keep you looking young longer.
Extra protection is needed in some situations. Goggles can be worn
to protect your eyes from flying snow on the slopes or flying debris
when sawing wood or doing yardwork.
EARS
Several things can damage our hearing, including smoking and loud noise.
Loud noises do not only mean a motorcycle engine or jackhammer.
Listening to music that is too loud can also damage your hearing. Kids are at extra risk
because they use earphones or ear buds. Using these increases the danger since the noise
is actually inside the ears. Earphones or muffs that sit on the outside of the ears are
safer, but turning the volume down is essential.
For unexpected noises, put your fingers in your ears. Humming also
helps because it forces the inside of the ears to close, keeping out
some of the dangerous waves.
Smoking as a cause of hearing loss is surprising to many. It should
be no surprise to anyone who smokes at home. Just as the walls, ceiling,
mirrors, etc., the insides of your ears get covered with a greasy yellow
film. Inside the ears are tiny hairs, called cilia, and these cannot
do their job if they are covered in nicotine. The good news is that there
is hope of them eventually getting back to normal when they are no longer
exposed to cigarettes.
