Some naturopaths believe that the origins of persistent sore throats can originate in the ear tract, which goes down the back of the throat. We all know that when we have a sore throat that our ears often feel sore, painful, or inflamed.

This ear-to-throat link is called a Eustachian Tube.

In children this tube can become gluey, resulting in temporary deafness and persistent ear issues. On flights it can get sticky, causing ear pain as the pressure outside and within the middle ear are disturbed. When our ears pop as we ascend mountains (or when we hold our breath and pop our ears), it is the Eustachian Tube unblocking.

Knowing this simply anatomy will help you to identify what the best intervention is for you. For instance, is your ear sore because of your throat, or vice versa?

• I bet those of you who have persistent ear discomfort consume excess sugar, or alcohol. Excess sugar causes an imbalance of microbiome in the gut, resulting in a systemic reaction in the body (for instance, ear problems).

• Digestive disorders, either currently or in the past (more on this to come over the next few months).

• A history of high incidence of antibiotic therapy / drug therapy.

  Conventional medicine has caught up with this ear-gut link, and there has been significant medical papers published on the relationship between chronic ear issues in children with digestive issues. In my clinics I always encourage clients to observe their health patterns, and identify what triggers their unique cascade of issues.
