Ear, Nose & Throat

Ayurveda tip

For mild earache, 2 drops of warm garlic-infused sesame oil in the ear (only if eardrum is intact — never if there's discharge) eases pain. For sore throat, gargle with turmeric + salt in warm water 3 times a day. Voice hoarseness responds to mulethi (licorice) tea with a touch of honey. Persistent ear pain or discharge — see an ENT promptly.
