How Does This Ayurvedic Home Remedy Improve Wellness?
CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
The ears are vulnerable to cold, infection, and hypersensitivity. The aromatic compounds in garlic are warming and stimulate circulation in the ear - generally improving ear health. Sesame oil is naturally warming and nourishing to the ear. Both substances are antimicrobial.
The practice of placing oil in the ears is known as karna-purana in Ayurveda. Sesame oil and garlic are traditionally given in the autumn to calm Vata dosha. Other indications include: - Ear wax
- Ringing in the ears
- Anxiety, ungrounded
- Outer ear infection
- Tension in the jaw
How to Make Garlic Sesame Oil Ear Drops- Chop up 1 clove of garlic. Heat 2 tbsp of sesame oil on medium / medium high. Add the chopped garlic. Sautee for 20 seconds, removing from heat just before the garlic begins to brown.
- Pour oil through a tea strainer into a small non-plastic container. Let sit until lukewarm (test on the inside of the wrist for a comfortable temperature).
- Once the infusion is ready, lie down on the left side. Use a dropper or 1/8 tsp, fill the right ear canal with the mixture. Let the oil sit for 5 minutes, then drain the ear and clear.
- Repeat on the left side.

INCREASES
Increases These Biocharacteristics (Gunas)
Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics
(gunas).
Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance.
By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick.
Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold).
You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.

The Three Doshas / Body Types
According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine,
people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person.
Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness.
Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency.
Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.
The 3 functional body types
(doshas),
are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.
