Ear Affections



**Sanguinaria has humming and roaring in the ears, and painful sensitiveness to sounds.

**Salicylic acid. Meniere’s disease and simple deafness with tinnitus. **Arnica has proved of benefit in Meniere’s disease. Pain in the cartilages of the ears, as if bruised, is another indication.

**Bryonia is highly spoken of by Dr.Dudley Wright, of London, in Meniere’s disease, as suiting those cases where the vertigo comes on from any sudden motion, as on rising from a seat.

Sulphur [Sulph]

      Is useful for a most offensive discharge from the ears and syringing does no good, the ears are red, raw, and the discharge excoriates.

**Psorinum is even better than **Sulphur in case of offensive discharges from the ears; there is with this remedy a general unhealthy condition of the patient, pustules appear on the face, around the nose, mouth and ears, the blood is impure and the system run down. It is a remedy not to be despised in ear affections, and is especially to be considered in cases of chronic otitis media, probably of psoric origin, in which other remedies and methods of treatment have been tried unsuccessfully.
