Oiling Ears is Good Eye care
Oiling one’s ears with few drops ( five to ten drops) of good quality
sesame oil or coconut oil will cool the eyes and prevent damaging
effects to one’s ears, eyes,, nasal and mouth cavities.
It is good to use good quality organic oils free from chemicals
like the cold-pressed Spectrum Oil brand in USA. Heat the oil to
hot and then allow it cool and store in a bottle and use. Oil heated
like this one time and then used seems to be recommended by Ayurveda ,
may be because of changes in the protein and oil nature.
You can experience how our ears are connected
to eyes, when you drop the oil in the ears. Within few seconds you can
feel that the ear nerves when touched with oil gives a soothing effect
to the eyes.
The eyes, ears and nasal and oral cavities are linked and the
nerves connecting these are influenced in a good way by oiling. This
prevents early loss of hearing, loss of vision, lose of small and taste.
Swishing sesame oil in mouth everyday or once a week helps in keeping
the taste buds healthy and also removes toxins.
Ayurveda says
regularly oiling before bath , every day good, or atleast once a week.
Head oil bath also helps in this regard. This is scientifically also
correct. Because it is
proved that ageing occurs due to damages in the genetic material in the
cells. The Mitochondria organelles in the cells become less efficient in
transforming energy needed for the cells due to oxidative damage. This
reduce efficiency of Mitochondria in producing energy is ageing.
Vitamin E and anti-oxidants are the damage preventing chemicals. Oils
are rich in these anti-oxidants. Hence oiling the ears, and nerves
connecting the eyes, nasal and oral prevents oxidative damage to the
cells. Modern doctors out of ignorance warned these ancient practices as
harmful.
But more recent research studies are shedding light about the
health benefits of these ancient practices.
Let me quote a scientific study showing that bacteria adsorb to
cells less when the cells are coated with oil.
This article shows that applying oil
on pre-term babies in hospital reduced infections.
Our experience shows that these healthy practices example with oiling
two day old baby for three to six months everyday and massaging the baby
with oil before bath has prevented ear infections and all teething
problems regularly children get. The child also is resistant form
any infections that are common in children.
