Ear, Nose & Throat

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history of treating disorders related to the ear, nose, and throat (ENT). TCM views the ENT system as closely related to the body's overall balance, and as such, many TCM treatments aim to restore the balance of the body's energy, or qi, to promote healing. In TCM, the ear, nose, and throat are closely connected, and many conditions that affect one part of this system can also affect the others. Some common ENT conditions treated with TCM include: Sinusitis: This condition is caused by inflammation of the sinuses and can cause symptoms such as facial pain, headache, and nasal congestion. TCM treatments for sinusitis often involve acupuncture, herbal remedies, and dietary changes to reduce inflammation and promote drainage. Tinnitus: This is a ringing or buzzing sound in the ear, often caused by damage to the ear or exposure to loud noises. TCM treatments for tinnitus may include acupuncture, herbal remedies, and dietary changes to improve circulation and reduce inflammation. Sore throat: This is a common condition that can be caused by a viral or bacterial infection, or by overuse of the voice. TCM treatments for sore throat may include acupuncture, herbal remedies, and dietary changes to reduce inflammation and soothe the throat. Ear infections: These are caused by bacteria or viruses and can cause ear pain, fever, and other symptoms. TCM treatments for ear infections may include herbal remedies, acupuncture, and dietary changes to boost the immune system and reduce inflammation. Vertigo: This is a feeling of dizziness or spinning, often caused by problems in the inner ear. TCM treatments for vertigo may include acupuncture, herbal remedies, and dietary changes to improve circulation and reduce inflammation. It's important to note that TCM treatments should be used in conjunction with medical treatment, and not as a replacement for it. If you are experiencing any ENT symptoms, it's important to consult with a qualified medical professional before trying any TCM treatments.
