Ear Clear Formula

Treating Ear Conditions with Herbs

 

Ear problems can be very difficult to treat at the best of times. Due to the unique anatomy of the ear in some breeds of dogs, often covered by an ear flap, the inside of the ear canal remains warm and moist, almost like than incubator, causing chronic cycles of infections.

 

The answer from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is to take away the environment that supports dampness, and therefore supports the yeast or bacterial overgrowth. The EAR-CLEAR formula accomplishes this by draining damp heat, (the swamp). Drying and cooling herbs such as gardenia, gentiana, and scutellaria, (which target “damp heat” in the upper torso.) At the same time, echinacea purpurea root also helps to fight infection. This formula provides an interesting example of the inherent holistic paradigm of TCM: to not just rev the immune system with echinacea, but to also take away the environment that sets up the infection.


Many of us know how repeated use of antibiotics can damage the balance of good bacteria and can allow yeast overgrowth to flourish. EAR-CLEAR provides you with a new and effective non-toxic option for your ear patients.


EAR-CLEAR Herbal Formula

 

Ear infection, otitis externa, yeast, pseudomonas for a dog or cat often means a painful and difficult-to-treat condition, whether it is caused by inflammation, infection, or a chronic build-up of wax and mites. Herbs can provide relief! Some breeds are predisposed to ear infections, either by food allergies, seasonal allergies, or floppy ears that restrict air circulation or that trap water after swimming. All of these situations create a "damp", swampy environment that can become a hot bed for yeast or bacterial growth. Wax produced from an imbalanced constitution or from cleansing toxins further exacerbates the “swampy” environment.
